AI Doc Summarizer Doc Summary
AI Doc Summarizer Thinking Thinking

Web Hosting allows you to publish and run a website on the internet.
It provides the space, software and services required to make your website accessible via a domain name.

At ProRedLine, Web Hosting also includes Site Hosting functionality.

What Web Hosting Provides #

Web Hosting at ProRedLine provides:

  • Storage space for website files
  • A web server to deliver pages to visitors
  • Support for dynamic websites using PHP
  • Database support for website applications
  • Email hosting functionality
  • DNS management tools
  • Security features

All management is done through cPanel.

What You Can Do with Web Hosting #

With Web Hosting, you can:

  • Host one or multiple websites
  • Upload website files
  • Install CMS platforms such as WordPress
  • Use databases for dynamic content
  • Create professional email addresses
  • Manage domains and DNS settings

Web Hosting is suitable for both simple and advanced websites.

Static vs Dynamic Websites #

Web Hosting supports both types:

Static Websites #

  • Consist of HTML, CSS and images
  • Do not require databases
  • Are simple and fast

Dynamic Websites #

  • Use PHP and databases
  • Include CMS platforms and web applications
  • Require more configuration and maintenance

Most modern websites are dynamic.

Web Hosting and Site Hosting #

At ProRedLine:

  • Web Hosting includes Site Hosting
  • Site Hosting refers to hosting websites without mail-focused features
  • Both use the same infrastructure and tools

The difference is functional focus, not technical separation.

What Web Hosting Does Not Include #

Web Hosting does not include:

  • Website development services
  • Content creation
  • Automatic website migration
  • Guaranteed uptime without maintenance
  • Application-level troubleshooting

Website content and software are customer-managed.

Domains and Web Hosting #

Web Hosting requires:

  • A domain name
  • Correct DNS configuration
  • A document root with website files

Domain registration is a separate service, but 1 domain is included with the package. Addon and/or Parked domains for your active subscription can be ordered on the Domain Manager page at https://proredline.com/.

Security and Maintenance #

Web Hosting provides:

  • Server-level security
  • SSL certificates
  • Malware detection tools

You are responsible for:

  • Updating website software
  • Securing applications
  • Managing backups

Who Web Hosting Is For #

Web Hosting is suitable if you:

  • Want to host a website
  • Need email and web services together
  • Use CMS platforms or web applications

For email-only use, Email Hosting is sufficient.

Responsibility Notice #

You are responsible for:

  • Website content and software
  • Configuration inside cPanel
  • Updates, backups and security

ProRedLine provides the platform, not website management.
