Web Hosting FAQ
What is web hosting?
In simple terms, web hosting is where your website is stored. Or for a slightly longer explanation: a website is a collection of files that exist on a server connected to the internet and accessible to be viewed through a web browser. When a person visits a domain, the website files are displayed within the web browser as the actual website. When you combine the website files with the hosting server and a properly-pointed domain, you have all the components needed for a website to be visible & online. In a nutshell, that is web hosting.
What is shared web hosting?
Shared web hosting is basically when one server hosts multiple customers or websites. It is the most common and cost effective option for web hosting, and it is one of the services excel in truth be told. Our shared web hosting servers are geared for maximum security and performance relative to the number of customers, and types of websites, being hosted. In other words, there's no need to give thought to the other websites on the same server as you; we've have all that under control.
What is the difference between shared hosting vs. cloud hosting?
The primary difference between shared vs. cloud hosting is that on cloud hosting the website files actually exist on multiple servers, these servers themselves are also shared so it's kinda-sorta like having multiple, duplicate shared hosting accounts. The reason is that with shared hosting if the one server goes down, the websites become unavailable, but with cloud hosting if one server goes down then the other cloud servers ensure that the websites remain available online.
Which shared web hosting plan is right for me?
Essentially it works like this: if you intend to conduct eCommerce on your website, accepting credit cards & selling goods or services, then you need the cPanel Business plan. If you don't need any eCommerce functionality, but do intend to host multiple domains, then the cPanel Professional plan should be perfect for you. If your intention is to host a domain without eCommerce, then the cPanel Personal plan should meet your needs.
What is a domain vs. hosting?
In order to have a website live on the internet, you will need both web hosting and a domain name. Both of these things can (and do) exist independent of each other, though it is generally considered universal to employ both in order to have an actual website. Metaphorically, let's say you want to invite people to a party (your website). Your party is at a location, such as your house or apartment (web hosting). In order for people to know how to get to the specific location, you must provide them with an address (domain name). So, web hosting is the actual server space where your website files live, and a domain name is the address visitors need in order to view these files as your website. You can have a domain without a website, and you can have a website without a domain name, but to truly benefit from having either in the traditional sense, you actually need both working together.
How can I transfer my web hosting to sparrowhawk.cloud?
It is super easy to transfer your existing website, and even your existing domain registration(s), to us. To prevent any downtime on a live website, the correct order of operations is: create a new account, transfer a copy of your website files to the new server, update the DNS of any domain(s) to point to the new server, wait 24 hours and verify everything loads from the new server, cancel old hosting account, initiate domain registration transfer, verify the domain registration transfer completed successfully. This sounds daunting at first, but taken one step at a time it's a very easy and logical sequence.
My current host uses software other than cPanel. Is this an issue for a website transfer?
Moving a website & all associated data from any Linux platform does not pose an issue. We would just need the relevant access details in either case.
What type of SSL certificates are supplied?
DV (Domain Validation) SSL certificates are supplied, you can purchase OV (Orgnisation Validation) & EV (Extended Validation) certificates from the control panel.
What is your backup policy / procedure?
By default all backup data is stored in encrypted locations within the European Union. Backups are carried out on daily basis & are retained for 14 days. Enabling you to restore the required data within a 14 day window. If you require an alternative backup configuration such monthly backups retained for 12 months let us know we will provide you with pricing based on your requirements.
Do you offer any other types of encrypted backups?
From your cPanel you can choose between regular backups as described above or enable client side encryption where we keep a record of the encryption keys (we can assist if the key is lost), you keep a record of the encryption keys (we cannot assist if the key is lost) or to have no backups at all.
How are encrypted backups restored?
Depending on your choice or alteration of the cPanel settings (outline above), encrypted backup restorations are either granular or full account restorations.
Where are your web hosting servers located?
Our hosting servers are located in Johannesburg, South Africa
