WHAT DOES HOSTING ENTAIL
THE BENEFITS OF OUR HOSTING
"A web host or hosting provider is a business that provides all the services needed by Web Developers to run their apps on the internet. When someone wants to view your website, all they have to do is type its domain name in a browser, and the servers provided by your web host will serve it up."
Our web hosting requires little knowledge other than how to navigate around the user interface of your website. We handle all the server manipulating.
Website builders are online platforms that allow you to build a website quickly in the browser. They usually have a drag-and-drop type of interface you can use to arrange the elements on your pages and a selection of pre-built themes you can apply to your whole site with one click. We use WordPress!
You can choose from hundreds of themes and thousands of plugins to install from your browser to customize your site. You can also add new blog posts and pages that get stored in a database somewhere that you never have to worry about.
Website builders backed by content management systems like WordPress.com have one advantage over other website builders because you can add new content much quicker. You don’t have to create a whole new page on your website for every new piece of content you add. All you have to do is create a new post or page, which gets stored in a database, and that post will be dynamically rendered using the theme and plugins you’ve installed.
With this type of shared hosting, your application shares the same server with multiple other users, and the hosting provider takes care of all the server configurations. Shared hosting providers have other services like email and databases that are also hosted on servers shared by other users. Usually, you can purchase a package with a monthly subscription that provides you with these services for one price.
Dedicated web hosting has a lot of advantages over shared hosting.
Dedicated web hosting is a hosting option where you rent a whole physical server from a hosting provider. No one will share your resources. You’ll get full control over your server and can install any software that it supports. You’ll also have root access, so you can configure the server in any way you want. We would make and manage these configurations or you.
For blogs and sites that are mainly content, a website builder may be enough. If you want to deploy an actual web application that’ll execute server-side code, you’ll need to go with either a shared host, a dedicated host, or a cloud hosting provider.
