The best way to learn about the operation of certain services is to learn the meaning of the terms that are often associated. With regard to web hosting solutions, there are so many features that it is important to know how to “recognize” from the name: for this reason we have decided to publish this short Glossary Hosting.
Glossaio hosting, because it is useful
When you buy a hosting service, you find yourself having to manage a web space that will host your own website. We will then come across a series of terms that represent features included in the services, but that if they do not know each other they cannot be “exploited” to the fullest. This could be a problem especially for users who have less experience in the industry.
10 terms you need to know
The idea of proposing these short Glossary Hosting was taken precisely to give concrete help to those who are approaching the “world of hosting”. Knowing the main terms helps people to maneuver more comfortably within the sector, so as not to have any difficulty in choosing the right service for their needs.
Let’s see what are the 10 terms that we think you should know to learn more about glossary hosting …
1 # HTTPS
For several months we have been reading a little everywhere that HTTPS is very important for websites, especially for corporate ones. But what is HTTPS? It is a security protocol that ensures that communications via HTTP take place in an encrypted connection, so as to hide the data through encryption. It is a protection that is now indispensable for guaranteeing maximum safety to users, who will then repay in confidence and esteem.
2 # SiteLock
Over time, web threats become more and more evolved and difficult to eradicate. A resource like SiteLock is essential to increase one’s defensive capabilities. SiteLock is a powerful anti-malware program that cleans the site and protects it from external attacks. An exceptional resource included in our hosting plans.
3 # Backup
Here is another term that must absolutely be known. Remaining in terms of safeguarding one’s work, Backup is one of those operations whose importance is difficult to describe in words (just think of the existence of a dedicated day, World Backup Day). The automatic data backup allows you to save your daily work, preventing any problems can make you lose what has been done.
4 # Node.js
This is perhaps one of the lesser known terms but in reality represents, for a given category, a very important resource. Node.js is a framework that allows you to write server-side applications, therefore suitable for the work of programmers, developers, webmasters and all those who work with codes and programming languages.
5 # Cloud
Here is another key term that is associated with glossary hosting. With the word Cloud we mean, in a general sense, a new type of data storage technology. In the field of hosting, the Cloud guarantees a qualitative leap both in terms of functionality and “power”. With our Cloud services, the customer has a semi- dedicated hosting plan with dedicated and structured resources for his personal needs.
6 # cPanel
To be able to manage your hosting space, you need to use a control panel. In Linux solutions, the control panel is cPanel. Famous for its simplicity of use and its clarity, cPanel can be used without difficulty even by users who do not have much experience with hosting management.
7 # SSD
The acronym SSD stands for solid-state drive, which we can summarily translate as a solid-state memory unit. Unlike traditional hard disks, SSD disks are equipped with an internal solid-state chip, a component that guarantees greater data writing and reading speed. Our hosting plans include SSD drives, for faster and more stable websites.
8 # Virtual Private Server
Those who find themselves having to evaluate hosting solutions will sooner or later find themselves in front of the term VPS , an acronym for Virtual Private Server . What is a Virtual Private Server? Basically, a VPS is a virtual server that can simulate an entire physical server, guaranteeing the client a personal virtual working environment with dedicated resources (and therefore not shared with others). A high-performance solution that allows you to have lower costs than buying a dedicated plan.
9 # CloudFlare
People who want to buy a hosting claim to have a service that makes their websites fast and secure. In terms of security, another term to be known is undoubtedly CloudFlare. What is that? CloudFlare is a caching reserve proxy that can improve a site, both in terms of speed and security, thus meeting the needs of customers who want to have a stable online presence.
10 #Housing
The last term that we need to know is Housing, a word that already as assonance seems very similar to Hosting but that represents a very different reality. We talk about Housing when a provider hosts the server owned by the customer in its own Datacenter. The company will then ensure the perfect functioning of the server and the resolution of any problems.
The right solution for your web project
With regard to web hosting solutions it must be emphasized that there are different possibilities, developed for the needs of different types of users. We move from economic services, designed to create small showcase sites, to dedicated plans that include such a quantity of resources as to support the work of sites with high traffic.
In the middle between these two “extreme points”, we find all the solutions structured for certain professional profiles. Let’s think for example of plans dedicated to e-commerce sites, as well as cloud services or plans optimized for the most used CMS online.
To conclude
Knowing the terms that are often found when talking about hosting will help you find the best solution for the type of activity you have in mind.
