FAQs

How does website hosting work?

Discount Domains provides the technologies needed to host a website and other internet-based applications. Server space is leased out based on disk space and bandwidth allocation to website owners. When a domain name is entered on any browser, it fetches information and data off the website from the server where it’s hosted.

What is website hosting?

Website hosting is an internet-based service that provides a platform for people to launch websites, web-based systems and applications on the World Wide Web

Are there any hidden costs?

No, the annual fees for web hosting shown above are all-inclusive.

What Bundle do I need?

Picking the right bundle depends on a number of things, including the size of your website, and the CMS you want to use. It will also depend on what you want to do with your site, and whether you want to add content like a shopping cart or blog. If you aren’t sure which bundle is right for you, feel free to get in touch with one of our experts. We’re here and ready to help.

Do I need technical experience to have my website hosted?

To procure web hosting, you do not need to fully understand the technicalities of web hosting. All you need to know is how to manage your website from your control panel. Most of the technical aspects of web hosting will be executed behind the scenes with little to no input from you. They’ll also provide support whenever you’re faced with any complex issues.

What is shared hosting?

This type of hosting involves many websites making use of a single server provided by a web host.

What are the benefits of shared hosting?

The reason for the popularity of shared server packages is the cost. Since many websites share the same server, they get to share the cost of maintaining it. This is why shared server packages are usually the entry level hosting packages at most web hosting providers.

What are the disadvantages of shared hosting?

Shared hosting may be affordable but it is not always the optimal choice. If a single website on the server experiences high traffic, for instance, this will slow down the performance of the entire server and worsen the page load speed for other websites on it.  Additionally, malware, virus, and DDOS attacks targeted at a single website can affect other websites on the same server. Shared hosting plans also usually come with limits on how you can use server resources. Once you start pushing these limits, you will have to choose a better hosting plan or risk having your site going offline.

How much space and bandwidth will I need?

For most accounts, hosting providers allocate certain disk space and bandwidth size. However, bandwidth size is unlimited for shared server accounts with some web hosts. The disk space and bandwidth you need will be determined by the kind of website you’re looking to host as well as the size of your user base.

What features should I look for when choosing a hosting provider?

The most important things you should look for in a hosting provider include:

a)       At least 99.9% uptime

b)      Reliable technical support

c)       Regular updates

You can find out if they pass the mark by going through user reviews. Other factors that you should look at include pricing, scalability, and technical specifications.

What are the disadvantages of dedicated server hosting?

The main drawback of dedicated server hosting is its expensive nature. However, there are other issues including dependence on hosting provider for support.

What are the advantages of dedicated server hosting?

The advantages of using a dedicated server are numerous. You’ll get to enjoy enhanced speed, autonomy over allocating server resources and higher security. Security risks are also lower in comparison to shared hosting.
