For all your web design, web hosting and SEO.
Explanation Web hosting
Idesthost delivers its customers reliable and professional web hosting for an affordable price. Our goal is to make our service accessible to customers that do not have the know-how for publishing and maintaining a professional web site and domain. Therefore Idesthost is a natural choice for our customers.
Web hosting is a service where a web hosting company delivers disk space to its customers where the customers can upload the content and the content is accessible through a web page. At Idesthost we use shared hosting, that is, multiple web sites are hosted on one server, based on Linux operating system.
Add-on domain
An add-on domain is a separate domain that is being hosted on your primaire domain while it looks like it is being hosted on a separate account. For example, if your primaire domain is idesthost.com and you add the add-on domain newdomain.com in your cPanel then any visitor that visit newdomain.com will see this domain in their address bar. Furthermore the content or files for this web site are coming from a specific folder within your account. In sort, with add-on domain you can host multiple web sites with different content.
Parked domain
A parked domain will be used if the content of the website equals your main or primary web site. This feature is widely being used for different domain extensions. For example website.com, website.eu and website.org can all be parked at your account and those domains will be re-directed to your primary domain.
Sub-domain
A sub-domain is frequently used to give a department a unique name. For example, your sales department can be at sales.yourdomain.com. That is, a sub-domain is constructed as subdomain.primaydomain.com.
FTP accounts
FTP stands for "File Transfer Protocol" which is a protocol that standarises a number of actions between computers where the operating system can differ. This concept makes use of a server-clients model. The client connects to the server with a username and a password. This username and password is called a FTP account. For Microsoft there are some populair programs, namely FileZilla or CuteFTP.
MySQL databases
MySQL is a database management system. That is, this system manage the data between the server and the database. Where this system ensures an output and input of SQL queries or database data. In all our web hosting services the number of MySQL databases is unlimited.
This system in cooperation with the world's leading server scripting php led to a lot of powerful systems special made for websites. Examples are WorldPress, Joomla, phpBB, Concrete5, opencart, osCommerce, ect.
cPanel
cPanel is world's leader if it comes to a management system for servers. They deliver a fully automated point and click hosting platform. Many tasks are replaced by web interfaces and API-based calls. This system is designed with multiple levels of administration, like administrator, reseller, end-user. These different levels add security, flexibility and ease to use.
For our customers this means that they can easily preform many complicated tasks. However cPanel does not lack the power to preform tasks for advanced users
