Introduction #

At ProRedLine there are 2 variants of ‘Web Hosting’. Those are Web Hosting and Site Hosting. To help you make the right decision, you must first understand the difference. This doc will also give you a more clear picture how web hosting at ProRedLine works.

What is Web Hosting at ProRedLine? #

Web Hosting is the service that allows a website to be published and made accessible on the internet. It provides the server space, software, and supporting features needed to store website files, process requests, and serve pages to visitors through a domain name.

At ProRedLine, Web Hosting is intended for customers who want a complete hosting package for their website, including website hosting and email-related functionality. Site Hosting is closely related, but is more focused on hosting the website itself without the email-oriented part of the package.

What Web Hosting Provides #

Web Hosting at ProRedLine is designed to provide the main components needed to run a website in a normal hosting environment. This can include website storage, a web server to deliver website content, support for PHP-based websites, database support for dynamic applications, email hosting functionality, DNS-related management tools, and security features relevant to the hosting environment.

Management is handled through cPanel, which acts as the main interface for hosting-related tasks.

What You Can Do with Web Hosting #

With Web Hosting, customers can host one or more websites, upload website files, use applications that rely on databases, and run common content management systems such as WordPress. Because email functionality is included, Web Hosting can also be used for professional email addresses connected to the hosted domain.

This makes Web Hosting suitable for a wide range of use cases, from smaller and simpler websites to more advanced sites that require databases, PHP support, and email integration.

Static and Dynamic Websites #

Web Hosting can be used for both static and dynamic websites.

A static website is typically made up of files such as HTML, CSS, images, and other fixed content. These websites are usually simpler and do not require a database.

A dynamic website uses server-side functionality such as PHP and often relies on a database to generate content or power features. This includes platforms such as WordPress and other web applications. Dynamic websites usually offer more flexibility, but they also require more setup, maintenance, and security attention.

Most modern websites fall into the dynamic category.

Web Hosting and Site Hosting #

At ProRedLine, Web Hosting and Site Hosting are closely related services that use the same general hosting environment and tools. The main difference is not the underlying infrastructure, but the scope of the service.

Web Hosting is the more complete package and includes website hosting together with email-related functionality.
Site Hosting is focused on the website itself and does not include the same mail-focused features.

In other words, both services are built for hosting websites, but Web Hosting is positioned as the more complete solution when website and email functionality are both needed.

Manual Provisioning #

Manual provisioning means that a Web Hosting, Site Hosting, or Email Hosting service is set up by a ProRedLine administrator instead of being delivered instantly through a fully automated system. This approach is used to help ensure that each service is configured correctly before it is activated.

At ProRedLine, manual provisioning is part of the setup process for certain hosting services. Rather than creating the service immediately after payment without review, the order is checked first so that configuration, domain-related settings, and account setup can be handled more carefully.

Why ProRedLine Uses Manual Provisioning #

Manual provisioning is used to improve accuracy, consistency, and quality control during service setup. It allows order details to be reviewed, helps reduce configuration mistakes, supports correct domain and DNS setup, and makes it easier to maintain a secure and consistent hosting environment.

This process is intended to reduce avoidable issues after delivery and helps ensure that the service is set up in a way that matches the order and the intended use.

What Happens After Payment #

Once the order has been paid, it enters the provisioning process. During that process, the required details are reviewed, the hosting account is created, and domain or DNS-related settings are checked where relevant. After the service has been prepared and activated, confirmation is sent to the customer.

The exact steps can vary depending on the service ordered, but the goal is the same: to make sure the hosting environment is set up correctly before it is handed over.

Provisioning Timeframe #

Manual provisioning is usually completed within 24 hours and may take up to 48 hours in normal situations.

In some cases, provisioning can take longer. This may happen when additional verification is required, when important information is missing, when domain transfers are involved, when manual DNS changes are needed, or when the order is placed outside normal business hours.

If a delay affects the expected setup time, ProRedLine will inform the customer.

What May Be Provisioned Manually #

Depending on the type of service, manual provisioning can include tasks such as:

• creating the hosting account
• linking or checking the domain
• reviewing or preparing DNS-related settings
• activating email-related functionality
• performing setup and security checks

Not every service requires the same provisioning steps, so the exact process depends on what was ordered.

Why This Matters #

Manual provisioning means delivery is not instant, but it does allow for additional review before the service goes live. For services such as Web Hosting, Site Hosting, and Email Hosting, this helps ensure that the setup is correct from the start and reduces the likelihood of avoidable post-delivery issues.
