What Precisely is Hosting?

Hosting is a selection of services that renders it achievable for a web page to go live and be accessible from any country around the world. When you write out a domain name in a web browser's address bar, what you see are the website files that are put on the web hosting servers of a web hosting distributor. The web hosting service also offers the option to set up mail aliases with your domain name, to create and manage databases, to set up password-guarded locations, and to monitor all web site visitors - what web pages they opened, what web search engine or website they arrived from and in which country they were situated. Other services that are included in each hosting plan are FTP access, the possibility to create custom DNS records, domain parking and forwarding options, and so on.

Why Do You Need Hosting?

Undoubtedly, owning a web portal is the fastest, easiest and least expensive way to reach the greatest possible number of people. It is a means to discover blokes with related interests, to disseminate standpoints, to present a project or to tempt brand new customers. A web site is available online 24x7x365 and the sole fee that has to be paid is for the hosting service itself - there are no charges for paperwork, additional office space or more workers. Clients from any country can buy commodities and services at any given time, employers can see your portfolio if you are an entrepreneur, or if you provide services even as plain as lawn trimming. Having a web portal is a great means to discover brand new clients locally. More and more persons research on the World Wide Web before they order anything, and a suitable and simple website name is simpler to share with friends or workmates than a residential address and a phone number. This information can be displayed on your website, merely a mouse click away.

Where Can You Find Top-Notch Web Hosting Solutions?

Discovering a hosting provider delivering low-cost, top-quality hosting services is a desire everybody has. Yet, there still are several web hosting firms, which come close to this description - a description, which sounds idealistic to a certain degree. One hosting services provider that offers an ideal combination of economical prices and professional quality of the hosting solutions on offer is us at 'Hosting Africa'. We may be not very popular at the moment, since we design our cloud hosting platform in-house. At the same time other hosting providers like HostGator, BlueHost, JustHost, etc. are plainly making use of cPanel, having paid a licence fee. They do not create anything. They are just offering a normal cPanel hosting Control Panel under their own personal brand name and that's all they do. Simple. These web hosting corporations are all identical. They differ by their brand names mainly. And because they do not develop anything, they focus on marketing exclusively - on how to become more popular than they are at the moment. With us it's quite different. As the pretty complicated cloud web hosting environment demands plenty of exertion and time to set up (as compared to the 13.00 USD/month cPanel license tax per web server), we at 'Hosting Africa' can hardly cope with the aggressive marketing maneuvers applied by the cPanel-based hosting corporations. You can't be the best at everything you do. You can be the best in only 1 or 2 spheres, at the most. We are definitely a good web hosting vendor. Marketing might not be the strongest point in our business, which is why we are not so famous at the moment. If you need any of these: website hosting services, VPS solutions, semi-dedicated servers and dedicated servers, and last but not least cheap domain names and SSL certificates, you can pick them up from us. You'll be very surprised with our web hosting Control Panel and the various controls included there: the Domain, Email and File Managers are just outstanding. cPanel does not offer any Domain Manager whatsoever! A whole new book can be published if these 2 web hosting environments are subjected to minute examination: the one-server-based cPanel platform (1) and the multi-server-based cloud hosting solution we supply (2). Let's stop here. Plenty has already been mentioned...
