Web Hosting

Every website that you visit consists of a domain name and a web host. The easiest way to picture it is to think of the domain name as the address and the host as the physical building.

When you are browsing the web and enter in a URL (i.e. http://www.cubes.host), your web browser queries that domain name (i.e. cubes.host) and looks up where the website is hosted. The browser then loads up the contents that are stored there.

Hosting is effectively the process of using a server to host a website and there are all sorts of different types available out there on the market. Cubes Hosting, just like most web hosts offers different packages so that our customers can pay for just the resources that they need. The more popular the website is the more resources it’s likely requires to function effectively.

The good news is that with us you can scale your hosting package as and when you need it, start off with the Shared Hosting plan and gradually upgrade to a Higher Tier plan or a VPS plan later.

An SSL certificate is a small data file that uses a cryptographic key to digitally sign your company identity with the files that are stored on your webserver. The idea is to prove the identity of the publisher of a webpage and to reduce the likelihood of a visitor accessing sensitive areas of a website without the appropriate security.

When a website has been secured with a SSL certificate the visitor will see a padlock icon in their web browser and they will be connected to the site using the https protocol, now with the SSL certificate in place and the user accessing the site the connection between the browser and the web server has been secured and sensitive information can safely be transferred.

Hence why people use SSL certificates on e-commerce websites and other types of website that process credit card transactions and other financial information.
