What is Web Hosting?

What are Web Servers?

Web servers are high powered, high tech computers that work by storing and transmitting data over the internet. Just about all servers are connected to the internet for the duration of their lifespan. Web servers are by far the most important aspects of the internet. All web sites are stored, maintained, and operated on web servers. It is not possible to access the internet without a web server, so every web site must have one.

What’s Reseller Web Hosting?

Basically, reseller web hosting is designed to offer you all of the necessary resources to begin your own independent web hosting service.

What is Domain Parking?

Domain parking allows you to purchase a domain and then have a ‘coming soon’ page on it. However, if a domain isn’t parked, it would simply be inaccessible to anyone. Additionally, you may park a domain by pointing it at another active domain in your account. For example, you may want www.mywidgets.com and www.myspecialwidgets.com to go to the same website.

What is an IP Address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is basically a sequence of numbers that is used to identify a specific computer over the internet. Each computer is assigned an IP address by the ISP (Internet Service Provider) that serves as a means to identify communication from that particular computer to another computer.

Web sites also have IP addresses that are indicative of the address associated with the web server on which they are hosted. An IP address looks like a series of numbers; for example, when looking at an IP address, there will be a string that resembles this: 162.0.0.1.

How do I pick a hosting plan?

When picking a website hosting plan, you need to have an idea of what you want to do with your website, plus factor in a bit of room for growth. Is your website large or are you hosting a large number of images and/or videos? If so, you need a package with a larger disk space allocation. Do you expect to receive high volumes of traffic to your website? If so, you need a package that gives you more bandwidth. Do you need CGI, PHP, and MYSQL functionality? If so, select the plan that includes these features.
