When you’re building your website, there are dozens of things to consider. Website hosting is usually top of your list. It can be a tricky concept to wrap your head around, especially if you’re a newbie to the world of websites and content creation. We offer our website hosting, which comes with a ton of added extras. We’re going to tell you everything you need to know about website hosting and how it works, so you can get your website online and start building your audience.
What is Website Hosting?
Website hosting is the home of your website. It’s a space on a server for you to store your website files and everything that runs your website. Each website is hosted by a server with a certain space and bandwidth (traffic) allocated to each web hosting account.
Your website hosting is when you rent a piece of a server to house your website. Whether you’re running a small personal blog or have a multi-national corporation, your website will need a server and hosting package. Each of our hosting plans mainly differ by the amount of space and traffic your website(s) needs. You can upgrade with us at anytime.
What Do I Get with My Website Hosting?
When you buy your website hosting through our site, you get a plethora of web hosting features to help you manage your website. Our website hosting control panel is called cPanel and it enables us to offer you the ability to host unlimited websites, create unlimited email addresses (you@yoursite.com), view website visitor statistics, password protect files and folders, and manage your website’s files. With a hosting account, you will gain accesses to all these tools for your website plus more.
Each web hosting account comes with a 99.9% uptime guarantee so you never have to worry about any downtime for your website. Our website hosting packages all come with a 30-day money-back guarantee because we’re confident in the power you will like the service. You also get 24/7 live technical support via live chat, phone, and email. Live support technicians can walk you through any problem or question you may have while you have the service.

What Kind of Website Visitor Statistics Can I View?
Each hosting account comes with a few methods for how to view your statistics. We recommend AW Stats which can be located in the web hosting control panel. AW Stats shows you a ton of details about your website visitors directly from the server. You can learn alot about the behavior of your visitors and how well your website conversions strategies are going. You can view the amount of unique visitors, number of pages visited, the most viewed pages, amount of visits so far this month, visits by the day, visitors by the country, what search engines crawled your site, and the keywords used in the search engines to find your website.
