What is website hosting?
When you create a website, all the files, images, and content that make up your site need to be stored somewhere so that when someone types in your website address, they can see it. Website hosting companies provide this service by storing your website files on powerful computers called servers.
These servers are connected to the internet 24/7, so your website is accessible to anyone at any time. Think of it like renting a storefront in a busy shopping mall. The hosting company takes care of keeping your website up and running smoothly, just like the mall management takes care of the building where your store is located.
So, when you pay for website hosting, you’re essentially paying for space on these servers and for the services that keep your website accessible online. Without hosting, your website would have nowhere to exist on the internet, just like your store needs a physical location to exist in the real world.
My servers
My server is situated in a secure, specialised data centre in London, and is maintained and kept up to date with the latest technology. It is designed with fast, robust processing capabilities to handle multiple requests simultaneously. It is equipped with various security measures, including firewalls, encryption and access controls to guard against unauthorized access, data breaches, and other potential threats.
Security is a very important part of hosting, and

Security
I take security very seriously and understand the importance of providing a safe and secure hosting environment for you as well as my server, and have a range of security features to protect against common threats and attacks.
One of the key security features included in my hosting package is free SSL certificates. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates encrypt website traffic, ensuring that sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and payment details are protected from interception by hackers or cybercriminals.
In addition to SSL certificates, my hosting also come with DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) protection, which helps to prevent malicious attacks that attempt to overload your website with traffic and take down your website. This DDoS protection ensures that your website remains accessible and available to visitors, even during peak traffic periods or in the event of a DDoS attack.
