Website hosting is the service that allows your website to be live on the internet. Think of it as renting space on a server where all your website’s files, images, and content are stored. Without hosting, your website simply wouldn’t be visible to anyone online. You need website hosting to make your site accessible 24/7 to anyone who wants to visit it. A good hosting service ensures your site loads quickly, stays secure, and can handle traffic without crashing. It’s the foundation of a reliable, professional online presence.

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital certificate that encrypts the connection between a user’s browser and a website, ensuring that any data transmitted (like passwords or credit card details) is secure and private.
An SSL certificate is important because it protects sensitive data from being intercepted during transmission. It also boosts trust with visitors by displaying a padlock icon in the browser and is a ranking factor for search engines like Google, improving your site’s SEO.

Dedicated website hosting is a hosting plan where you rent an entire server exclusively for your website. This means you have full control over the server’s resources, offering high performance, security, and customization.
In short, the main difference is that with dedicated hosting, you have an entire server to yourself, offering better performance and security. In contrast, standard hosting (like shared hosting) involves sharing server resources with other websites, which can limit performance but is more affordable.
The price depends on the resources required for the website. Please get in touch with us via info@norfolkweb.co.uk with your website requirements and we can put a quote together.
Server space or website storage refers to the amount of disk space allocated on a server to store your website’s files, including images, text, videos, databases, and scripts. This storage is essential for your website to function and be accessible to visitors. The more storage you have, the more web content and features you can add to your website without performance issues.
A standard hosting account offers 10GB of storage. This includes your website’s pages, images, videos, backups, and any other content. A 10GB storage limit is usually enough for a medium-sized website, such as blogs or business sites. However, if you have a large site with many high-resolution images, videos, or complex databases, you may need more storage over time.
If your website exceeds the 10GB limit we would have to charge for extra space or move your website to a dedicated website hosting account. Please get in touch with us via info@norfolkweb.co.uk if you feel your website project is or will go over the 10GB limit and we can let you know the costs involved.
Website uptime monitoring is the process of regularly checking your website to make sure it’s online and accessible to visitors. It tracks how often your site is available (also called “uptime”) versus when it’s not (known as “downtime”).
Uptime monitoring is important because even a few minutes of downtime can lead to lost visitors, missed sales, and a poor user experience. Additionally, by tracking your site’s availability 24/7, you can quickly detect and fix issues, improve your site’s reliability, and maintain trust with both customers and search engines.

Website backups are copies of your site’s files, data, and settings that are saved in case something goes wrong, allowing you to restore your website to its previous state.
Website backups are crucial because they protect your site from data loss caused by hacks, server crashes, or human error, ensuring you can quickly restore your content and minimise downtime.
