What is hosting? A plain-language guide
· 4 min read
If the domain is the address, hosting is the building. And what are RAM, VPS and SSL?
Your site “lives” on a computer that runs 24/7 so customers can open it any time. That computer is a server; the service is hosting.
A simple comparison
- Domain = address (street and number)
- Hosting = the building at that address
- SSL = the lock on the door 🔒
- Backup = a spare key
What are RAM, CPU and NVMe?
RAM — how many visitors at once; CPU — speed; NVMe — fast disk for photos and files. A small site is fine on 512 MB RAM; a store needs 2 GB or more.
How it works with us
You don't buy hosting separately: a plan matching your package is in the monthly service — Start (landing, portfolio), Business (business, catalogue), Pro (store). Very large stores get a dedicated VPS.
