Frequently Asked Questions
How does web hosting work?
Web hosting is a service that allows individuals or organizations to make their website accessible via the internet. To do this, you need to register a domain name (e.g. www.example.com) and find a web hosting provider. You'll then sign up for a hosting plan and upload the files and content for your website to the provider's servers using a control panel. When someone visits your website, their computer sends a request to the web server where your website is hosted. The server sends the requested files back to the visitor's computer, which displays the website in their web browser. Learn more

What is VPS Hosting and who is it for?
VPS Hosting, or Virtual Private Server Hosting, is a type of hosting where you have your own distinct portion of a physical server. This is achieved by dividing a physical server into multiple virtual servers, each with its own operating system and resources (CPU, RAM, storage, etc.). VPS Hosting is ideal for individuals and businesses who require more resources and a higher level of control over their hosting environment than what shared hosting can provide. This includes businesses with high-traffic websites, developers who need a stable environment for application development and testing, or any user who requires specific server customizations. It offers a balance between the simplicity of shared hosting and the autonomy and resource capacity typically associated with having your own server.
