Frequently asked questions
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is the provision of disk space for the hosting of websites or other web-based applications. As a web hosting provider, we rent shared server hosting space to the public so that they can host and manage their websites.
What is shared web hosting?
Shared web hosting is a type of hosting where multiple websites share the same server resources. Each website is allocated a fair portion of resources to ensure stable performance. Shared website hosting is a cost-effective option for businesses and individuals who want reliable hosting at a lower cost.
What is a Linux-based server?
Linux is an open-source operating system widely used in shared hosting companies because it doesn’t require a licence, unlike Windows-based systems. Many users prefer Linux for its flexibility, though some advanced users opt for Windows servers to support certain programming languages like ASP. If you need help choosing between Linux and Windows for your shared hosting services, feel free to contact our support team.
What types of web hosting can you choose from?
There are several types of web hosting available, each suited for different website needs:
- Shared hosting – An affordable option where multiple websites share the same server. Ideal for small businesses, startups, and personal websites.
- Cloud hosting – Uses multiple servers to provide more flexibility and resources as your website grows. Suitable for growing businesses and higher traffic sites.
- VPS hosting – Offers more dedicated resources than shared hosting, giving better control and performance.
- Dedicated hosting – A single server dedicated to one website, typically used by large websites with very high traffic or specific requirements.
Choosing the right hosting type depends on your website’s size, traffic, and growth plans.
How much traffic can shared web hosting handle?
Shared hosting can comfortably support websites with low to moderate traffic. If your website grows significantly or starts receiving higher traffic volumes, upgrading to a cloud-based hosting plan is recommended.
Does using shared website hosting lower website speed or SEO performance?
Not necessarily. Shared website hosting can deliver good website speed and SEO performance for small to medium-sized websites with low to moderate traffic. Modern shared hosting environments are designed to manage resources fairly so that individual websites continue to perform reliably.
Website speed and SEO performance are influenced by many factors, including how your website is built, how well it is optimised, and how much traffic it receives. As your website grows and requires more resources, upgrading to a higher-tier hosting plan can help maintain performance.
Is shared web hosting suitable for small businesses?
Yes. Shared web hosting is ideal for small businesses, startups, and personal websites that don’t expect heavy traffic. It offers a simple and affordable way to get a professional website online.
Is it easy to upgrade from shared website hosting to more advanced hosting later?
Yes. You can upgrade from shared website hosting to more advanced hosting plans as your website grows. The upgrade process is designed to be smooth, allowing you to move to higher-tier hosting with more resources when you need them, without having to rebuild your website from scratch.
Is shared web hosting secure?
Yes. Shared hosting environments include essential security measures to protect websites on the server. For businesses with higher security requirements or sensitive data, more advanced hosting solutions may be more suitable.
What is a Linux-based server?
A Linux-based server uses the Linux operating system, which is commonly used in shared hosting due to its stability and flexibility. It supports many popular website platforms and applications used by businesses today.
