What is a subdomain?

A subdomain allows you to create easy to remember addresses of a page that has a long URL.  This helps to organize your site into different categories or folders.  For example, your site is http://www.mybusiness.com and a subdomain might be http://support.mybusiness.com.  This allows quicker and easier access to a certain page of your site.

To add subdomains to your site please contact us.

What is domain hosting?

Domain hosting is similar to web hosting.  Domain names are addresses that are connected to the physical computers that contain the code, images, and text that is displayed on your website.  Domain hosting allows a domain name to be accessible to others.

To have your domain be hosted for others to see please contact us.

How do hosting companies preserve your website data and website integrity ?

You may not know what it means for a server to be ‘fully-redundant’ but basically it means that all your website data is constantly and automatically copied to a second location at our facility so in case there’s a hardware failure, your data and your website integrity is preserved.

In addition, all website data is backed up nightly to another backup location, in case there’s a second-level failure.

Remember, computers may seem indestructible, but they are still machines, and need to have a backup in case there’s a failure.

We protect your site data at many levels.

Why do some website hosting companies charge a little more than others?

Hate to quote an old adage but ‘You Get What You Pay For.” is certainly true in this case…while some companies may have cheaper prices, you may not get what you expect when it comes to performance, support, down-time, or features.

In our case, our support team is located in the domestic United States, not in another country or offshore…

Be sure to compare apples-to-apples – ok, no more cliches!!

What makes a website to upload and run fast?

The main reason why most of the cheapest hosting companies do charge “very cheap” for hosting services is because they overload servers with too many sites, in order to make a profit which consequently slows down your website.

We do not overload our servers with too many sites.  Some other hosting companies ‘over-book’ their servers and all you need is one site on a server to hog all the resources and all the sites on the server run slow.

We make sure not to over-allocate the server’s resources to provide better load-balancing which ensures your site will be delivered quickly to your visitors.

There are a lot of factors that ensure your website to be live and working at all times and it is important to understand the value of “personal attention” specially if you get in a situation that your site is down and you need  quick action taken by the hosting company. Think about it and educate yourself before making the decision of which company/who is going to host your website.
