With over two decades of experience in the hosting industry, we’ve encountered virtually every hosting question imaginable. To help our customers better understand web hosting, we’ve compiled a list of common myths and the truths behind them.
Myth: “Web hosting means having a website designed for me.”
Truth: Web hosting provides the platform on which you can build a website. We make it easy for you to create your own site, or we can build one for you. Contact us for more details.
Myth: “Making a website is really complicated.”
Truth: With our one-click installs of popular content management systems like WordPress, you can have a fully functional website in just a few clicks. Alternatively, our Web Builder offers drag-and-drop functionality, making it even easier with no coding needed.
Myth: “Email is really hard to set up.”
Truth: Creating email accounts is simple through your control panel. Just go to ‘Email Accounts’ and use our ‘autodiscover’ technology to set up and manage your email quickly. Access your email on the go via stackmail.com.
Myth: “It doesn’t matter whether I pick shared hosting or WordPress hosting.”
Truth: If you’re building a WordPress site and using email, choose WordPress hosting for the best experience. If you plan to install additional software or have non-WordPress files, our standard shared platform is a better fit.
Myth: “Domains, hosting, and websites are all the same thing.”
Truth: A domain is your website’s address (URL). Hosting is the technology that powers websites.
Myth: “All web hosting is the same, so I may as well go for the cheapest.”
Truth: The hardware, platforms, technology, data centres, functionality, features, and support vary widely among web hosts. Cheap hosts often cut corners, leading to inferior service. We’re confident in our platform, offering a 0-day money-back guarantee because our Cloud Hostings are 100% free for the first month.
