What exactly is a host?

It’s ok if you’re not very tech-savvy, that’s what we’re here for, and believe it or not, many people don’t even know what a host is! A web host, or web hosting service provider, is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for the website or webpage to be viewed on the Internet. Websites are hosted or stored, on special computers called servers.

How does hosting work?

Web hosting, or the host meaning, is simply the process of renting or buying space on the Internet to keep your website on. The server, which basically is a device that links other web users with your website from anywhere in the world, and is supplied by the content.

How do I move my website?

When moving a website to a different web host, you need to:

  1. Purchase and activate a new hosting accounts
  2. Move all website files – including databases and email accounts
  3. Install and configure your application (PHP version, WordPress, etc)  at the new host
  4. Check the new site on a staging (or temporary) URL

  6. Point your domain DNS records to the new web host
