How do I host my own websites?
As a web developer you have probably been asked by your clients if they could host their website with you.It could be that you don't offer this service to your customers yet but you are considering to do so.
To start your own hosting you must of course take into account a number of things.For example, one customer may have different hosting requirements than another.
Because it can be quite difficult to start in this world we decided to give you some tips on how to get started.
What exactly do I need?
It is important that you find out exactly what you need.Think about how much space you need, how many databases you need, can I change my DNS records?
It is important that you go through what the requirements for your web host are exactly.If there is no clarity on the hoster's website you can always contact their support department.
Most hosting providers have a live chat on their website.Here you can then easily ask the questions you have to the company to see if they meet your requirements.
Suitable for WordPress?
WordPress is currently the most widely used content management system on the internet.So the chances are pretty good that you want to start using WordPress.
Fortunately almost every web host supports WordPress nowadays.There is even special hosting for this called Managed WordPress hosting.
Everything is done fully automatically, think of updates to WordPress, the theme and plugins.This can save you a lot of time because it all happens automatically.
If you have little time to work on your website then this is a suitable solution.You can also customize your website to suit your needs.
ASP hosting
It is also possible that you do not use WordPress but ASP hosting for Umbraco websites, for example.ASP stands for Active Server Pages and it is a method used to create dynamic web pages.
This later evolved into ASP.NET and this also supports the use of C#.With our ASP packages you also get free MsSQL databases, these are databases from Microsoft itself.
If you have any questions about this you can always check if there is a chat employee present.If there is no one on the chat, you can always create a ticket to our helpdesk.
