Website Hosting

There are 3 main reasons for this. These are:

Improved Website Performance: Your website’s data is stored on servers located closer to your target audience. This proximity reduces latency and improves website loading times, resulting in a faster and more responsive browsing experience for your visitors.

Better SEO Performance: Search engines, like Google, consider website loading speed as one of the ranking factors. Hosting your website locally can positively impact your search engine optimisation (SEO) efforts, as faster loading times can improve your website’s ranking in search results and increase its visibility.

Compliance with Local Data Privacy Laws: Hosting your website locally ensures compliance with data privacy laws and regulations specific to your country or region. This can be especially important if your website collects or processes sensitive user data, as it ensures you meet the legal requirements for data protection.

Whilst they are closely related to each other, they actually serve two different purposes.

Web Hosting is the service that provides the storage and infrastructure necessary to make your website accessible on the internet (where your website lives). When you sign up for a website hosting service, your website files, databases, and other resources are stored on servers that are connected to the internet. Web hosting ensures that your website can be accessed by visitors from anywhere at any time.

Domain hosting, also known as domain registration or domain management, refers to the process of registering and managing your domain name. Domain hosting involves selecting and purchasing a domain name from a domain registrar and configuring DNS (Domain Name System) settings to connect the domain name to the IP address of the web server hosting your website.

That depends on the work we’re undertaking for you. We’ll talk through the application of your project at the outset and create assets suited to those needs. For something like a logo or graphic, we’d typically supply finished designs in file types such as .png or .jpg. For something like a document, we’d supply that as a PDF. We can also package up your working files to ensure you’ll have them on hand should you ever need them.
