Web hosting is a service that stores your website’s files on a server so that people can access your site via the Internet. When someone visits your domain (e.g., your-site.com), the server delivers the pages, images and other content to their browser. Why do I need Web Hosting? If you want your website to be visible online, you need web hosting. Without it, you don’t have a place on the Internet for your web-pages to live. It’s similar to renting a storage unit and making that unit accessible to visitors — but for your website. What types of hosting plans are there? Common types include: Shared hosting (many websites share one server, what we do here at Hex) VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting (you have your own “slice” of a server) Dedicated hosting (you have an entire server to yourself) Cloud hosting / managed hosting (scalable, flexible resource models) How do I choose the right plan for me? Some things to consider: All our plans come with the same features, our different tiers provide more storage, more email address and more quantity as the price goes up. What is “uptime” and why does it matter? “Uptime” means how often your website is available (server is working). The higher the percentage (e.g., 99.9 %), the better. If the server goes down, your site is offline and unavailable. What about security, backups and support? At Hex we include security measures (firewalls, malware scanning), regular backups, and good customer support. Can I start small and upgrade later? Yes — At Hex we let you begin with a simple (and cheap) plan and upgrade as your site grows (more resources, more features). All can be done in the client area. What is a “control panel”? A control panel (such as cPanel, Plesk) is the web-based interface that allows you to manage your hosting account: upload files, manage emails, databases, etc. How much does web hosting cost? It varies widely depending on the type of resources and features you need, our plans start from £5/month For a basic small site, our Starter Plan is ideal! What happens if I exceed my plan’s limits (bandwidth, storage)? Many plans advertise “unlimited” but in reality there are limits (fair use, performance constraints). If you exceed the allocated resources you may experience slower performance, or we may ask you to upgrade. What about domain names – do I need one? Yes — to make your website accessible via a memorable address (e.g., your-site.com) you need a domain name and you need to link it to your hosting plan. If I already have a website or domain, can I move to your hosting? In many cases yes — you can transfer your domain or point it to us by using our Nameservers. Nameserver 1: ns0.thundercloud.uk Nameserver 2: ns1.thundercloud.uk What if I want to cancel or move away from you later? Here at Hex, you can cancel any time you want for no charge, but always drop us a little support ticket to see what we can do to help first. Do you provide email hosting / databases / SSL certificates? All of our plans include email accounts, MySQL/MariaDB databases, and free SSL certificates (so your site uses HTTPS). How fast will my website load? Does hosting affect speed? Yes — hosting matters. The server’s hardware, number of other sites on the same server (in shared hosting), server location (data-centre) all affect load times and performance. Faster sites improve user experience and can help with search engine rankings.
