Web hosting and domain name

Web hosting and domain names go hand in hand, without one you cannot get the most out of the other. A domain name is the address where you can be found, and the web hosting is where all your data is stored securely.

What is web hosting?

Web hosting is the provision of computing power and disk space to host a website or web application. You rent a piece of computer or server in one of our data centers where your own creation can be hosted. This can then be offered with a domain name on the Internet so it can be found by search engines like Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo. There are several web hosting packages that can be chosen. At MijnHostingPartner.be we provide Windows hosting which is not only safe and fast. But also supports a wide arsenal of techniques. So we can be the place for almost any technique for your project.

What exactly is a domain name?

A domain name is the name by which a website can be found on the Internet. Not only by search engines but also by visitors who type the URL into the browser bar. Without a domain name, a website would work with an IP address. This is obviously not useful for a website that you want to offer on the Internet. A domain name can contain anything you want. Whether it is a company name or a funny word game. It is up to you to come up with a catchy domain name that is not only easy to find but also easy to remember. That way, you'll stay in the minds of visitors when they find your content entertaining or informative. And find you again at a later date.

Besides a domain name, there are also domain extensions. For Belgium, this is of course .be which is the most obvious domain to purchase. If your services or target group is located abroad then there is always another specific country domain to choose. Think of the Netherlands (.nl) and Germany (.de). There are also global domain name extensions such as .com or .org. This way you can determine your target audience and serve the best domain name.

Moving an existing website to MijnHostingPartner.be

If you already have an existing webhosting and domain name you want to move to MijnHostingPartner.be it goes as follows. We offer a relocation service where we take the files and domain names to the new environment with us. We check if it works and then we transfer everything. To use this service you select this option in the order. The transfer code can be requested from the registrar or from the current party. This will be used to transfer the domain name to us.

The files can be delivered to us in a few ways. In most cases we ask for an FTP connection and where exactly we can download the database. We then download a backup of the existing files and export and import the database. We always create a ticket for this under your customer panel account so that all information of the move is available in a central place and can be checked. After we have everything in order we communicate this in that ticket as well.

So join our customers and be convinced by the service, features and speed of our web hosting and domain name services.
