Shared Hosting

With Shared Hosting, a single server hosts multiple websites, which means you share the server resources with other websites.
Cloud Hosting harnesses the power of the cloud to provide a scalable environment to handle traffic spikes and durability to withstand server failures. In Shared Hosting, users share server resources, whereas, Cloud Hosting provides Dedicated RAM and CPU to your highly resource intensive website.
There are multiple parameters which can guide your decision. But, the rule of thumb is that if you wish to host a website on ASP, ASP.NET, IIS or MSSQL, then you should choose Windows Shared Hosting. For sites in HTML/CSS, PHP or regular WordPress websites, Linux Shared Hosting would be the recommended choice.

Questions and Answers

SSL Certificates

SSL is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures all data transmitted between the two remain private and fully encrypted. SSL is the industry standard and is used by millions of websites, banks and payment gateways for protection of their online transactions with their customers.
You will need to refer to the documentation provided by your hosting company or software vendor. We have some guides that may assist
The Internet is now a recognised channel for commerce and business opportunities. However, along with its growth, there has been an increase in security risks. An SSL certificate provides a measure by which the user can be confident a website is safe to purchase from, as well as providing details about the site. SSL certificates are globally recognised and can also help with search engine ranking and browser load times.
Questions and Answers

Cloud VPS

When you order a Cloud VPS hosting package, you specify the virtual machine's initial configuration. The following virtual machine configuration options are available:

  •  mount of memory
  •  Number of CPU cores
  •  CPU speed
  •  High availability: This option provides failover functionality. If the virtual machine's host fails for any reason, the virtual machine automatically starts on another host.
  •  Disk size and media (SSD or HDD)
  •  Zone: This option specifies the geographical area where the virtual machine is located.
  •  Template: This option specifies the operating system template to use for the virtual machine.
  •  Network rate
  •  Hostname: Each virtual machine must have a unique hostname.

You can easily modify the virtual machine's configuration later if your requirements change.

All you have to do to add additional virtual machines is place an order. Make sure you select a unique hostname for each virtual machine you add. Billing and invoices for each Cloud VPS virtual machine are processed individually, and you can manage each one independently in the WebHosting Customer Portal.

For detailed information about Cloud VPS billing, please see this article .
Unfortunately, if you did not choose the SSD Storage option when you first ordered your virtual machine, you cannot add it to an existing virtual machine later. This is because SSD storage resides on a different storage pool. If you want to switch a virtual machine to SSD storage, you must first copy any data on the existing virtual machine that you want to keep. Then you can destroy the virtual machine, deploy a new one with the SSD option enabled, and copy your data to the new virtual machine.
