What is Web Hosting?

For your website to be visible to the world on the internet, it needs to be stored on a Web Hosting server. In other words, Web hosting is the technology that puts your website online. It is one of the three main components of establishing your Web presence: a domain name (Website address e.g. xyz-company.com), a website and a Web host. Your domain name is what people type in their web browser to reach your website, your website is viewed by your visitors, and web hosting serves your website on the Internet.

Which Web hosting plan should I choose?

Our servers are capable of hosting websites, scripts and applications that are targetted for both Windows and Linux platforms. Therefore you simply need to choose a package that is the right-fit for your requirements based on the web space, bandwidth (monthly traffic allowance), number of email users and the number of databases that may be needed.

What can I use to build my website?

This really depends entirely upon your preference and experience in building websites. In fact, most basic websites can be hand-coded using HTML. However, the more functionality, automation, versatility and complexity you require from your website, the more you might need to rely on programming, scripts and applications to help build your site. Our web hosting packages include an impressive number of free server-side applications that you can use when developing and customizing your websites. We've made it easy to install popular Content Management System (CMS) applications like WordPress, DotNetNuke, Joomla and many other ready-made applications through the Web App Gallery in your Website Panel web hosting account. Advanced web developers tend do use Adobe Dreamweaver, Microsoft Expression, and Apple iWeb to build your site if you are hiring a professional web development company to do this for you.

How do I transfer my website to the web hosting server?

If you have built your website using an HTML editor like Dreamweaver or Microsoft Expression Studio then you'll need to upload the pages you've created from your computer to our server via FTP (File Transfer Protocol). You can use our built-in FTP File Manager located inside Website Panel Or, if you have large files to upload (20 MB+), try using FileZilla or CoreFTP, which are free third-party FTP tools that work on Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. You can also upload your files using other third-party FTP software.
