Question: What do I need to have a website?
Answer: A domain, web hosting, and a DNS server. The first thing is to register a domain, this will make it easier to promote your website. To do this, you can use the cdmon.com search engine to see if the domain is available or not. Once you have registered the domain, you need to contract disk space on a web server. Depending on your needs, you will contract a basic or complete hosting plan. Finally, you must use another service called a DNS server to link the registered domain with the web hosting.

 

Q: What is a web server?
A: A web server is a computer composed of industrial-grade components, prepared and conditioned to be permanently connected to a high-speed network. This high-speed network is part of the Internet.

 

Q: What is a web server used for?
A: To host web pages. It can have several functions. As a dedicated web server, for the use of a single user, or as a shared web server.

 

Q: What is a shared web server?
A: A shared web server is a web server prepared to host different web pages from different users. The contracted space is called web hosting plans, and the name and price will vary depending on the contracted features.

 

Q: Is it secure?
A: The main cdmon web servers run on UNIX operating systems. Specifically Debian, one of the most secure and reliable UNIX systems on the market. To complement this, programs specifically designed for Internet use are used. Each server network has firewall barriers that protect the servers from external attacks that could affect system performance and stability.

 

Q: What are the advantages of using a shared server?
A: Reduction of costs in electricity, line maintenance, and operating system maintenance. The user saves the large costs of contracting a high-speed line, as well as the management of UNIX servers.

 

Q: What elements make up a web hosting plan?
A: Disk space, FTP accounts, monthly transfer, email accounts, webmail, password-protected folders, backup, control panel, web statistics, and technical support.

 

Q: What web hosting plans do you have available?
A: We have shared hosting plans such as: Testing Platform, Unihost (Start, Junior, Senior, Master, and Preserver plans), or dedicated Multihost plans.

 

Q: How much does it cost to have a website?
A: Depending on the contracted service, the price ranges from €3/month for the most basic plan to €399/month for one of the most comprehensive (configurable) plans.

 

Q: Can I buy my domain separately from web hosting?
A: Yes. You can register your domain separately from hosting, since the domain and hosting are two independent products.

 

Q: What are the basic differences between paid and free web hosting?
A: The quality of the service. Paid web hosting has technical support that ensures the perfect functioning of the servers and web pages. Paid hosting has more functionalities and management tools and never includes advertising on its hosting, quite the opposite of free web hosting.

 

Q: How do I know which web hosting plan is best for me?
A: Everything depends on your needs and expectations.

 

If you foresee that your website will be a great success, you should contract more monthly data transfer and a higher hosting plan. If, for example, you want to set up a photo gallery, you will need more disk space. If your website is for an association, you will need to contract more email accounts to distribute among your members, etc.
