What is cloud hosting?
Cloud hosting runs your website on a network of connected servers instead of a single machine, so it gets more resources, better uptime and can handle traffic spikes.
What is meant by shared web hosting?
Shared web hosting puts several websites on one server, where they share its CPU, RAM, disk space and bandwidth, each in its own partition. It is affordable and suits small to medium websites, but other sites’ heavy use and resource limits can affect performance.
What is a domain name, with an example?
A domain name is the unique name after “@” in an email address or after “www.” in a web address, for example yourbusiness.com. It points to a numeric IP address.
What is cPanel hosting?
cPanel is a web-based control panel for managing email accounts, databases, files and software installs, designed to be easy without technical expertise.
What is SSD storage?
SSD storage uses flash memory with no moving parts. It offers faster reads and writes, better reliability and lower power use, so websites load faster. It usually costs more than hard drives.
What’s the difference between cloud hosting and shared hosting?
Shared hosting places multiple websites on one server with limited, shared resources: cheaper, but it can slow down. Cloud hosting spreads resources across interconnected servers for more flexibility, reliability and scalability, and suits high-traffic or complex websites.
With all these hosting plans, how do I choose the right one?
Assess your needs for storage, bandwidth and resources, then compare uptime, reliability, security, support and price.
