Web Hosting is a service that allocates space and resources on a server specifically for the files that make up your website. It allows you to publish your website on the internet so your audience can access it and view it. That’s a loaded description of Web Hosting. Let’s look at a wider view of it.

Just as you need a physical location if you want to construct a store, building or house, you need a physical location for your website. All of the files (text, images, databases, videos etc.) that your website is made up of takes up space. While a domain name is essentially the address of your website, all of your website’s files need to be stored somewhere. Web Hosting gives you that storage place.

Your files are stored on a server. A server is basically a very powerful computer that stores those files, but also is designed to deliver them to your visitor’s web browser. The server where your website’s files are stored is given an IP address. This IP address allows your visitors’ computers to find your website to view it.

A solid-state drive (SSD) is a new generation of storage device used in computers. SSDs replace traditional mechanical hard disks by using flash-based memory, which is significantly faster. Older hard-disk storage technologies run slower, which often makes your computer run slower than it should.

Bandwidth in website hosting is the amount of data your website can transfer to your users in a given amount of time… In the same way, having more bandwidth means that more website data can be moved at one time.

Migrating website from old hosting to new hosting is called Site Migration.

For example, if you have domain from one domain registrar company and you want to host your website to another hosting, then we need to add nameservers given by hosting provider into the records of domain registrar.

There are 3 type of hosting: 1- Domain hosting. 2- Email hosting. 3- Website hosting.

Yes, in our all hosting plan we provide email hosting, but if you want to use another email hosting like G-suite. then we need to add all the records like, MX, SPF and TXT records of that email hosting provider into our web hosting Zone Editor.

cPanel is a Unix-based control panel that automates and simplifies website hosting. CPanel simplifies many common website administration tasks including database, website file and email account management with an intuitive point-and-click interface.

An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website’s identity and enables an encrypted connection. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, a security protocol that creates an encrypted link between a web server and a web browser.

A file transfer protocol account (FTP account) is a type of user account that enables the transfer of files with a host computer by using FTP services.

Subdomains are names that are used within your domain name to access different parts of your website. Take for example creativedexign.com. Creativedexign.com is the root domain, and if you want to access the store without having to remember a long URL, you can simply navigate to store.creativedexign.com. The store is the subdomain.

An addon domain is a fully functional domain name that can be attached to a web hosting account via a control panel such as cPanel. The functionality of an addon domain name allows you to essentially create additional hosting services, websites, within the same control panel as your primary domain.
