A web hosting plan is a type of technology you can use to view website content. Without hosting, there would be no internet. This term generally refers to a storage space in a server, used for putting websites online. This makes the website’s content accessible to all visitors. Technologies and server power are constantly evolving, so you can also host complex applications and websites on a resource-intensive structure. Before you can host your website, you will need to have a domain name. This is a mandatory factor, as the Domain Name System (DNS) is what links a domain to an IP address. This is your online identity. When a web user enters your URL or part of your domain name in their browser, the DNS connects them to this address, and allows anyone to find your website. Having a personal server requires computing knowledge and manpower — it can also be costly. This is why hosting providers like VoiPSofts offer their expertise to customers, so you can host your websites and applications easily and quickly.

VoiPSofts manages the security of your web hosting plans. By default, we enable anti-DDoS protection and a firewall on all of our hosting plans. However, we recommend taking care to secure access to your website. We also strongly recommend setting a complex password for access to your VoiPSofts customer account, as well as your databases. We also recommend activating HTTPS on your website. If you use a CMS, there are modules that can be used to strengthen your website’s security.

Once you have chosen a hosting plan to suit your project, all you need to do is deploy it on the server. You can easily set up your project via the VoiPSofts Control Panel. If you have not created your website yet, you can install a 1-click CMS module to create it. This way, you can get started designing it straight away. If you already have a website, simply move its files to your hosting plan using the VoiPSofts Control Panel with FTP Explorer, via an FTP client or in SSH. You can then start creating your databases, as well as the email accounts linked to your domain name.

E-commerce websites in particular require more resources than simple showcase websites, for example. You will have additional clickable elements, order channels, information windows for banking parameters, customer and product databases, which require greater hosting resources. Our Performance range is particularly recommended for this type of use. You get more resources than our other web hosting plans, and you get a competitive price. You can link more than 1,000 email accounts to it, and you have an additional SQL database with 512MB RAM. This plan also offers ultimate flexibility so you can face high fluctuations in traffic, like sales periods and Black Friday. To do this, you just need to enable the Boost option to upgrade your solution to a higher level of resources for a set period.
