Cronjobs, MySQL and EPP code. Never heard of it? Never mind, we’ll explain 17 terms from the world of web hosting so that you can start your journey as a website owner with more clarity.
1. Multidomain Support
Multidomain support means that you can manage several domains (website addresses) under a single hosting account.
This is particularly useful if you want to run several websites without having to buy a separate hosting package for each one. This allows you to organize and manage different projects, online stores or blogs centrally in one place. It doesn’t matter if the website has different domain names or if only the TLD (top-level domain) is different.
2. Multi PHP
Multi PHP allows you to use different versions of the PHP programming language for different websites within the same hosting account.
This is useful if you have older websites that require an earlier PHP version, while newer websites are already running on a current PHP version. This ensures that each of your websites works fine without having to compromise on PHP compatibility.3. SSD Storage
The term “SSD storage” means that the files of your website is stored on solid-state drives (SSDs).
These modern drives are faster and more reliable than conventional hard disks (HDDs), which leads to faster loading times and an overall better performance of your website. Therefor, at helloly we only use SSDs to provide our customers with the best possible results.4. SSL Certificate
An SSL certificate shows that there is a secure connection between website and visitor.
HTTPS encrypts the transmitted data so that it is protected from hackers. It also displays a lock symbol and “https” in the address bar, which increases user trust. The certificate is only valid for one domain, unless you have a wildcard SSL certificate, which also encrypts the subdomains of a domain. According to W3Techs, 86.1% of website owners use SSL encryption.of all websites use SSL
