Frequently Asked Questions

What is web hosting?

Web hosting is a service provided by firms (web hosts) that sell or lease server space where you store the files that make your website available on the internet. These organisations usually need that you have a domain, and they may be able to assist you in getting one.

What is bespoke web hosting?

Many companies provide web hosting services. Unfortunately, the same hosting packages do not fulfill every business's need. At YHosting we understand that every application and every website is different hence we coordinate closely with our clients to prepare a customized hosting solution that is tailored to their needs. This is called bespoke hosting solutions.

How to connect domain name with web hosting?

Setting up a domain name is easy but once your domain name is registered, you need to connect it to your hosting server.
1. If you have a hosting plan with YHosting, sign into your YHosting account, select domain list from the left sidebar and click the manage button next to your domain in the list, find the YHosting section and select YHosting DNS from the drop-down menu. After that, use the checkmark icon to save changes.
2. If you have a hosting plan elsewhere and you were provided with the YHosting for your domain. To connect a domain to a third-party server or hosting plan via YHosting that you received from your hosting provider, you need to set these YHosting as custom for your domain.
3. If you have your own server or you were provided with a set of host records to connect the domain to your hosting. Setting up a records for your domain will allow you to connect it to your hosting server when you have your own server and know its IP address. Some hosting companies may also be able to give you the IP address that should be used to connect your domain to your hosting service. In that scenario, records must also be made.

What is shared hosting?

Shared hosting is a popular hosting option in which a single physical web server is used to host several websites. Because most websites don't need a lot of server resources, shared hosting allows providers to provide a reliable service at a moderate cost. If you determine that shared hosting is best for you, you'll have to choose between different types of shared hosting. Shared hosting allows you to split hosting expenses and space with others while still getting the speed and space your small business website requires.

How do I transfer my web pages to your server?

If you constructed your website in an HTML editor (such as Dreamweaver or Microsoft Expression Studio), upload the files using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). You may access the integrated FTP File Manager within our Hosting Control Center. We advise using FileZilla, which is available for Windows®, Mac®, and Linux®, if your files are more than 20MB. You can also make use of outside FTP clients.

What is VPS hosting?

A VPS (virtual private server) is an excellent web hosting solution for anyone in need of more powerful control over their server. With a VPS, a physical server is split into virtual pieces that each work like its own independent server. This arrangement gives you guaranteed dedicated computing resources and enhanced security measures than you would normally have with shared hosting packages. Furthermore, it's much faster than other forms of hosting, allowing your host to properly process requests in a timely manner. If you're looking for a reliable and speedy host for your online projects, a VPS is definitely worth considering.

What is dedicated server hosting?

Dedicated server hosting is a top-of-the-line hosting solution that provides businesses with complete control and customization of their server environment. Instead of sharing resources with others, a dedicated host leases physical servers to exclusively host an individual business. This ensures high performance and reliability for websites, as well as better security and privacy because all the data on the server belongs solely to the customers. The hosting provider is responsible for supplying the hardware, software, environment and associated services, while also providing technical assistance whenever needed. Dedicated server hosting is an excellent choice for companies looking to expand their online presence without having to manage any of the hardware or services themselves.
