FAQ

You lease a portion of a web hosting service provider's massive servers for a monthly fee in exchange for controlling them and operating them. Your data will be stored on these computers, so others will be able to see the content you labored over. Essentially, it's like a storage unit with windows that other Internet users can look into.

It is essential to have a web hosting account in order to operate a website, as websites can't exist without servers. A web server typically costs thousands of dollars, so renting one from a web hosting provider is much cheaper. A web hosting service allows you to connect to the world wide web without investing a lot of money.

It is important to determine what type of web hosting will best suit your needs as a webmaster before beginning your comparison. There are four main types of hosting available: shared, reseller, VPS, and dedicated.

A shared hosting plan may be the best choice when you are just getting started online and do not yet have a lot of websites. VPS hosting plans are more powerful and provide more flexibility over shared hosting accounts. Finally, if you are not sure which plan is suitable for you contact us and we will advise on what is best suited for your business.

Since many web hosting companies have changed the way they advertise their plan prices in the past few years, pricing for web hosting has become very confusing. When the monthly cost of a web hosting plan is higher than expected, it can be discouraging. Prior to comparing plans, it is important to understand the various aspects of web hosting pricing. A plan should be compared according to the cost and amount of features offered when comparing.

Consider the pricing structure of web hosting before making your decision based solely on price. Conduct the most accurate and useful comparison possible by comparing plans of equal value. If you still need help the Swiss Hosting team is here to help just chat us.

When purchasing a hosting plan, it is important to factor in additional fees or surprises. The setup fee should be the first thing you look for. You often have to pay a setup fee when you first purchase a hosting plan. At Swiss Hosting we do not charge setup fees so you don't need to worry. No setup fee is charged unless you request a custom option not offered on our website.

You should also be aware of excessive usage fees like bandwidth. You should take special care when shopping for plans that offer unlimited features. All web hosting plans have their limitations, and it is important to understand the consequences of exceeding those limits. Depending on the hosting plan you choose, you may only be charged if you use more server resources than allowed, rather than a set fee. You may also need to upgrade or pay a fee if you exceed your limits.

To operate on the Internet, every web site needs a web server. In the simplest of terms, web servers transfer information from a web site to the computer of the site visitor. The data on your web page could not be stored and sent to a visitor's computer if you did not have a web server.

Web servers are widely available, designed to meet a variety of client needs. Having a capable web server will enable your site to perform at its best. It is imperative that you become familiar with web servers and their uses before you begin your online adventures.

A web server's uptime is the amount of time the server is fully functional and online. Whenever a server crashes or goes down, all web sites hosted on it are rendered inoperable until the problem is resolved. Web hosting providers are thus evaluated based on their server uptime. 

The provider of your web hosting may need to be changed if you have been experiencing frequent downtime. The more often your site crashes, the more money you may lose. At Swiss Hosting we stand by our 99.9% server uptime.
