We can describe a hosting environment as your business virtual premises. Like in a real-life scenario, there are several options available and one of them is Shared Server Web Hosting. So, let us tie it up to a real-life scenario:
If you were to rent office space, at minimum you get a fully equipped cubicle of a preagreed square footage [ your hosting plan storage allowance equivalent ] with a desk, PC, phone & phone line, an Internet connection, light, and heating [ your software and hardware resources ], lined alongside similar others, on an open floor [ in our case the server ]. Also, the building operator will impose or 'suggest' the number of visitors that can get access to your ‘premises’ and also that of the amount of correspondence you can send or store [ your monthly traffic allowance and e-mail accounts capacity ]. All of that form your hosting plan features. And that's Shared Server Web Hosting.
To maximize the turnover of its available space and to step up the cost it will charge, the building operator [ in our case the hosting provider ] divides the estimated cost of all monthly bills [ 'electricity' , 'telecom' and all other overheads involved ] by the 'footage' of the floor and you get to pay your share of that. - Please note that this is an extremely simplistic, in layman terms and as close as possible nontechnical description, of this type of hosting environment.
N * GB Data Storage
The capacity of your hosting plan 'virtual' hard drive. All Shared Server Web Hosting plans' content are replicated across several physical hard drives. XFS is the most used, highly scalable, high-performance file system implemented. Also the default one within the hosting industry.
N * GB Traffic Allowance
The amount of monthly data 'download' allowance. A page view or an email sent counts towards your data 'download' allowance.
Control Panel
A graphical user interface that you access to setup and view your e-mail accounts, SSL | TLS certificates, databases, other functionalities of your web hosting account and to upload and download files.
DV SSL | TLS Cert
A standard DV [ domain validated ] SSL | TLS Certificate for one domain name only.
N * x MySQL™ Data Bases
The amount of databases allowed to use on each hosting account.
N * + E-Mail Accounts
The amount of maximum number of email accounts we recommend to use on each hosting account. You may exceed that number if you need to.
Note: Although we do not impose nor recommend the number of domains you may have in your hosting account, you should be aware that the limit would be dictated by the size of content you intend to store and that of the data allowance your hosting plan has.
Operating System
CentOS 7 | One of the most used and reliable 'linux' server OS. As Windows there are many out there available, but unlike Windows they are developed by different software companies and therefore, the cost and purpose vary accordingly. CentOS 7 is one of them.
Software Stack
A minimum set of software packages installed on a server or hosting plan to allow seamless functionality of your online presence. LAMP [ Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP ] and/or LEMP [ Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP ] are the most prevalent ones. For VPS, Cloud and Dedicated servers different 'software stacks' are available if required.
BackUp & Storage
Although all our Shared Server Web Hosting plans content is triplicated across several hard disks, we also backup & store your Shared Server Web Hosting plan content daily, on separate storage media, with up to 3 days in areas retention. Just in case.
Server Security
In addition to the free TLS | SSL Certificate offered to protect your communication, we install as standard on all Shared Server Web Hosting accounts, a software firewall and antivirus package to protect your content against malicious attacks.
Note: Although we do not impose what type of software you may upload and use on our servers, any such upload would be checked for suitability and security.
Generically speaking, if you do not break any law, there should be none. However, on moral grounds [ at least ], you should not, and may not use our hosting infrastructure to promote hatred, bullying, discrimination [ on any ground ] post messages [ or allow others to post ], that can be construed as calls to acts of rebellion or terrorism, or post and promote any content or conduit pertaining to pornography [ of any kind ]. None of those would be allowed nor tolerated. Should that be the case, your site and content would be deleted, it's content submitted to any law enforcement agency if required, and your account terminated. No exceptions whatsoever.
