A domain name can not be attributed to two different people.For example, if you wish register a domain name mister-hosting.com, no domain name reseller will authorize you because it is taken.

However, if a person abandons a domain name, it is quite possible for another person to acquire it, after a few formalities of course.

The first step is to check if the domain is takenand who owns the domain.

WHAT IS WEB HOSTING?

So that your website is available at all times for its visitors, it must be hosted on a remote server.The latter is accessible 24h on 24, with the optimal conditions of traffic and connection.

It exists different kinds of web hosting. The most common currently, however, areshared hosting, dedicated server and cloud hosting.

We are talking about a dedicated server when a machine that is in a local of a host is rented to you. You can manage all the resources related to this machine, such as the storage volume, the technology used … However, a server has too much capacity that the cost quickly becomes excessive, especially for medium sized websites such as blogs or showcases. This is why we talk about shared hosting.

With this type of accommodation, the server itself is shared between multiple users and several websites. The cost is much more affordable since it is also shared. In this case, the management of the server is the responsibility of the entity that leases it.

Finally, a virtual hosting is the latest type of accommodation if you want to buy a web hosting. As the name suggests, vyour website is hosted on a server located on the cloud. The virtual server is actually composed of several physical servers that form a sort of super server that will be shared later by multiple users on the cloud.

HOW TO FIND THE BEST CHEAP WEB HOSTING?

Accommodation packages are offered by commercial companies. It follows that the offers available on the market are formulated according to a competitive logic. There will therefore necessarily be significant differences between suppliers. If you are looking for the best cheap accommodation, you must know its few points.

First, some hosts offer cheaper, but more limited offers (in terms of storage capacity, bandwidth, functionality …). From this point of view, there is even free accommodation. But again, it all depends on the actual needs of your website. It can happen that you need only very few resources. In that case,why pay more? Especially that your host offers you the opportunity to upgrade to a higher offer at any time, as soon as you need a little more resources.

On the other hand, some hosts have the possibility ofdisplay very advantageous prices thanks to the concept of “cloud”. By hosting your site on the cloud, you benefit from a logic: only the resources that your site uses are allocated to you and invoiced. And in the event of an increase in needs, access to additional resources is instantaneous. Unlike conventional accommodations where resources are allocated to you initially, that you must pay even if in the end you did not use them.

WHAT FEATURES TO CHECK BEFORE BUYING A CHEAP WEB HOSTING?

As we have already mentioned, suppliers offer different kinds of formulas as attractive as each other. However, be sure to choose an accommodation that ensures at least 50 GB storage space of which at least 10 GB for MySQL databases, then 5 email addresses and FTP access secured. The best hosts today offer unlimited resources, it’s almost always the best option.

Apart from the technical side, you must also choose your supplier wisely. Because some prices too advantageous hide bad suppliers. Who are they ? These are providers who sublease virtual private servers, but who do not respect the terms of the contract or who do not offer a satisfactory support service compared to real professionals for example. There are even hosting providers that disappear without warning, swallowing your site at the same time. Fortunately, the le-discussion forums provide us with the information we need. Internet users denounce bad suppliers and never tire of giving good marks to the most deserving.

One last point: some providers offer complementary services, such as automatic site creation software, SEO tools … These tools may correspond to a slightly higher price, but may be necessary

WHY CHOOSE A FREE WEBSITE HOSTING?

Choose a free hosting, it is especially not being able or not wanting to pay a subscription on its site. This can be a good idea when you start a blog, and you yourself have not decided where exactly you are going. Indeed, paying a one-year service for a project that you may be abandoning after a few weeks is not a good thing.

However, it is also important to understand what is free hosting. Ask yourself: How can a hosting provider offer free hosting? Know then thatThere are two main reasons for a provider to offer this type of subscription : it will broadcast on your site advertisements and other contents that make him earn money to offset the cost of hosting your website; or it offers free offers for commercial reasons, which will usually encourage you to switch to their paid offers.

For Mister Hosting, lfree website hosting consists of a free discovery during 1 months of its services. During 1 months, you are entitled to all features, just as if you had paid a subscription.

FREE HOSTING VS PAID HOSTING

Do you need web hosting? How to choose between a paid offer and a free offer?

Free hosting has like main benefit of being free. But you must comply with some restrictions or advertisements on your site. For a good start on the web, to test products or content … free hosting can be a good solution. However, the direct consequence of the restrictions is sometimes more work in the design and management of the site. Indeed, when the free formula offers for example a version of pHp or MySql earlierit may happen that you have to adapt your codes.

Un paid hosting has this benefit of offering more features, and therefore better management. Otherwise, Google does not like free hosted sites. Indeed, a blogger who would be willing to pay for his site for example has more credibility than a blogger who chose a free hosting. And some readers are also able to do the same reasoning if they have the means to know if your site was hosted free or not.

In addition, the servers used for the free offers are often less efficient. Indeed, these servers are most often saturated, because of the number of sites that share the resources. Even if your provider specifies that you have unlimited resources, the speed of the server for example will depend on the number of queries launched at the same time for all sites on the same server. Which can become disabling to a certain extent.

HOW TO CREATE A FREE WEBSITE WITH MISTER HOSTING?

As we saw above, the formula proposed by Mister Hosting allows you to discover all of our services free for a month. By choosing this offer, your site will not include any advertising and you will be entitled to Cpanel for its good management. As a paid subscriber, you will be entitled to 7 days support on 7. Go to the page Free Hosting from Mister Hosting.

You are entitled to three different formulas: M Start, L Business and XL Premium. Of course, all three are free. But these three formulas correspond to the formula on which your subscription will switch after the first free month. You will find on this page the details of each offer. Then click on the “Order” button corresponding to the offer you have chosen.

Mister Hosting will first ask you for your domain name. Do you have a domain name? Would you like to buy a domain name from 0,99 €? You can also skip this step and adjust that detail later or keep a domain you already have.

Further, Mister Hosting will ask you to pay an invoice corresponding to a commitment of 12 months, including the first month to 0 €. You will then be entitled to 30 days to retract if you are not satisfied with the services of Mister Hosting. In this case, we will return your money in full.

3. WORDPRESS THEMES

La availability of many themes (free and paid) has also made the popularity of WordPress. In addition, it is not you do not have to be a big connoisseur of web languages ​​to install a theme. You just have to download it, put it in the folder indicated and designate it in the parameters of your site.

WHAT IS WEB HOSTING EXACTLY? WHY IS IT SO INDISPENSABLE?

Think about the files and folders you have on your PC. They are stored on the hard drive of your desktop or laptopready and accessible at any time. A web page is a file, just like your word processing documents. Since your files need your computer to be stored, theweb pages also need a computer to be stored there. The difference is that your files, you are usually the only one to access them while Web pages are generally intended to be viewed by a wide audience. In this case, thecomputer on which web pages are to be stored must have higher performance than your own computer desktop and must be connected to the Internet via a powerful link. A computer on which web pages are stored is called a web server because it serves pages, on request, to users on the Internet. Whoever rend the websites available to many users so is web host. In reality, it is technically possible to connect your own PC to the Internet and store web pages. But in practice, this is quite difficult because generally, a home Internet connection is not powerful and reliable enough to serve multiple users at a time. For this reason, web hosting companies offer their service. These companies own and maintain very powerful web servers that store your web pages. They connect these Web servers to the Internet with very powerful and powerful connections, allowing many Internet users to access your web pages at the same time, without any problem. So, if you wish to launch a website, you will undeniably need web hosting because, unless you have really large funds, you will have a hard time investing in the hardware and the connection you need to share your website.

WHAT ABOUT THE SERVICES OFFERED BY WEB HOSTING COMPANIES?

In addition to providing web hosting services as explained previously, other “value-added” services are offered by these companies. The extent of these varies from one company to another, but some key services are provided by almost all. This is the registration of domain names, the provision and provision of an e-mail address. They may also provide technical support either through their websites or by email or telephone. Hosting companies are numerous. However, it is essential to carefully sort throughthey are really serious, performing, offering several complementary services, and those that offer spaces on the internet, but whose services are quite limited.
Among the most famous at the moment, there are among others MisterHosting. Among the services mentioned above for example, besides the hosting service of your website, MisterHosting offers a unlimited disk space, it offers you your domain name, it has a support service available 7jours / 7, a personalization and a total control of your website. And beware, even if the internet is full of web hosting companies, not all of them offer the kind of services mentioned above, even if all seem to put forward a tempting advantage.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF WEB HOSTING?

There are many varieties of web hosting, designed to meet different needs. A two-page website set up by an individual will require a much less robust web hosting space than a high-traffic multinational site set up by a large company. PTo complete this information on web hosting, we must just stress that this notion is often inseparable from another parameter: the domain name. This domain name is in clear your identity on the internet. All websites can be joined, open by registering the domain name in the address bar. And here too, with a single address, each email account refers to a specific domain name. In order to deploy your website or blog, you will need a domain name.
Many people buy their domain names from their host, even before they get a space, an accommodation. Anyway, it is entirely possible to buy a domain name from a company and rent a hosting space from another provider. Note that by subscribing to a web hosting with MisterHosting, the domain name is offered.
