F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions About Shared Hosting
How does a CDN work?
A CDN will maintain copies of your website’s public content on servers worldwide. As a result, it is kept in dozens of data centers rather than just one or two. These data centers are situated in strategic areas in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Amazon, Google, and Microsoft employ the same data centers.
As a result, the material on your website will be delivered to website visitors from the data center that is nearest to them.
Why do I need a faster website?
There are many benefits to a website that loads quickly:
- Mobile users and those on expensive data plans or slow networks will be provided for
- Faster sites are given preferential treatment in Google, helping your SEO
- Your users are more likely to spend time on your website if everything loads fast
When will my domain name be live?
As soon as you finish the checkout procedure with us, domains are registered at the registration level. Due to global upgrades, it may take up to 72 hours for a domain name to appear online. Regardless of the extension or registrar, this holds for all domain names. However, your domain name will often go live in a few hours.
How do I install WordPress?
We pre-install WordPress for you so you can get started right away. Purchase a WordPress package, choose your settings, and you’re all set.
I have an existing WordPress website hosted by another provider. Can I transfer it to you?
Yes, we have several different migration options, so you can migrate your existing WordPress website to us with minimal fuss straight from your control panel or WordPress dashboard.
Can I install software that isn’t WordPress?
To keep our WordPress platform at optimal performance, we only allow WordPress to be installed. You can write, add and modify WordPress-compatible code and files, such as themes, plugins, media uploads, etc. You’ll also have full access to mailboxes and email accounts outside WordPress.
Get in touch if you require a different hosting platform, such as Linux or Microsoft.
Do I still need to update WordPress?
We update the WordPress core for you automatically whenever updates are released. If you install any third-party themes or plugins, you’ll need to update them from your WordPress dashboard.
What are your data centers like, and where are they based?
Our state-of-the-art data centers offer the latest security technologies and are manned 24/7, ensuring your data and websites are secure and monitored. We have a resilient national network and enterprise-level cloud platform, so you get the best possible hosting experience. They are based in Reading, UK, and Dallas, USA.
Is your hosting green?
Yes: all our servers run on 100% renewable energy, and we can boast a PUE of 1.12. PUE stands for power usage efficiency, and lower is better.
What kind of support do you offer?
We have a range of guides and tutorials available via our support database. We also provide personal support just for you via your control panel. All our support is US based, and we never outsource it, meaning you’re always speaking to someone who understands our services and platforms inside out.
