No. But if your online presence is less, small business, you are new to having a website, or will have less visitors, shared hosting is best & affordable. Other very popular types of web hosting include: VPS - VPS stands for virtual private server, where a server is divided into individual virtual servers. The advantage of VPS is that each website can technically be hosted on its own server, and even though hardware is still shared with other websites, the computing resources are your own. Dedicated - With a dedicated server, you are 100% in control of your resources. This makes the website particularly stable and reliable, and you avoid issues that arise when there are traffic spikes from other websites. Cloud - The resources needed to run your website are split across a multitude of different servers. Assembled together, they comprise the cloud. Enterprise - Enterprise hosting comprises of custom-made offers that are tailored to suit the needs of your business. Not all providers offer this, but the ones that do are worth checking out if you think a ready-made plan isn't a good fit for your business.

There are a number of factors to take into consideration when choosing your provider. Look for an experienced provider that can offer you a tailor-made service for your web project, as well as flexible booking options in case the need for system resources increases or decreases. Your data should be stored among the most secure systems with strict data regulations. The provider you opt for should constantly invest in the security of your data and your IT infrastructure. Pay attention to transparent prices, flexible packages and contractual terms that best suit your needs.

Powerful IT resources and security measures come at a price and must always be state of the art to protect customers' technical infrastructure and data effectively. When it comes to "free" web hosting plans, we recommend proceeding with caution. First, check if there are any hidden costs. Secondly, many providers tend to display advertising on their customer websites. Even if the free basic features attract you, necessary functions or additional system resources often need to be purchased later. This ultimately results in your "free" option costing you more money. You can also operate your own server but then you bear the costs of infrastructure, security and maintenance yourself.

Yes, your Web Hosting account is hosted on a shared server. We provide our Web Hosting Service using the CloudLinux operating system, which provides a very high level of account security and isolation using technology called CageFS. Additionally, we utilise another CloudLinux technology called LVE on these servers, which limits the resources that any individual account can use on the server at one time, ensuring that the performance offered by the server remains predictable and stable.

We do not limit the amount of domains or websites which your Web Hosting account can host, however there is a practical limitation to the amount of CPU and memory available on our enterprise-grade hosting servers. If you outgrow our Web Hosting or our shared hosting platform, then we offer an easy migration path to other services such our VPS and Dedicated Cloud services.

An Entry Process (EP) Limit represents the maximum number of entries into LVE. A new process enters LVE when there is an HTTP request for CGI/PHP and the process counter increments. The limit was created by CloudLinux to prevent DoS attacks against a web server, and is also known as "Apache concurrent connections limit".

If you decide you want to upgrade your package to a different service such as our Premium Hosting, VPS Hosting, Dedicated Hosting or Reseller Hosting - it's easy. Just contact our support team, and we will guide you through the entire process. With a pro-rata invoice raised on your account (for the difference between the packages based upon your current billing period) our support team will then migrate your data, and your subscription fee will change to reflect your new hosting solution. You will only have to pay your pro-rata charges & then recurring subscription fee. We have no hidden costs, sign-up or cancellation fees.

If you wish to cancel your subscription for any reason within the first 30 days, we offer a no-quibble money back guarantee.

We accept Credit Cards, Debit Cards, Bank Transfers, Mobile Payments, Checks/Cheques & Cash. The available modes will vary based on the billing country. But from anywhere in the world the order can be placed & payment can be made.

Traffic: Traffic means how much data is used on a website. If you have lots of visitors, you are getting a lot of traffic. Web space: Web space is the storage available on the web server. It is also called storage space. Domain: The domain is the name of your website. If you need to run more than one website under different names, then you may need more than one. Subdomains: Some websites will have lots of different parts and sections. A subdomain helps organize these. Email accounts: Perhaps you'll need different email accounts for people to contact you. Databases: Most hosting providers will allow you to create MySQL or MS SQL databases. Depending on your package, you will be able to have a certain number of them. When you look at other hosting providers you may have noticed that there are three words in particular which are used to describe the features included in their hosting packages: Unlimited: This is a tricky label, because certain things, such as data transfer speed, are not unlimited. Unlimited traffic might mean levels of traffic that cannot be exceeded. Unmetered: This means that the provider is offering a set amount of web space which can be used as you see fit. Scalable: This means that the amount can be adjusted to meet demand. Which web hosting plan is the right one for me?This depends on your requirements. If you are planning a simple website, consisting mostly of static HTML pages and minimal multimedia content with manageable data traffic, then our starter package is the ideal option for you. We also offer more advanced packages that are suitable for dynamic web projects and high traffic. With our most powerful web hosting packages, you can comfortably manage resource-intensive, multimedia-based websites as well as extensive online stores and shops. Compare the respective product details to find the right web hosting packages. You will also find comprehensive instructions and detailed information on all aspects of web hosting in the RICHESD Help Center.** What should I look out for when it comes to technical configuration?How the web hosting service is configured is an essential element to take into consideration. Most web hosting services have Linux as their operating system, but if you want to run Windows programs you may be better off choosing a package with a Windows operating system using ASP, ASP.NET and SQL Servers. The different DBMS are also a key factor in making a decision, and not all providers offer each one. Most offer MySQL or MMSQL, but if you want to use PostgreSQL or MariaDB, take a closer look to see which providers offer this. Not all web hosting providers offer SSH — this can be an important feature for those who want to use more modern solutions, as the outdated FTP is not as secure. In terms of hardware, check whether the provider offers SSD hard disks, and where the data centers are located. It is important to know which type of programming language is available, because it will change how you develop your website in the future. Ruby, Perl and Python, Node.js, SSI and CGI are the usual supported languages. Are web hosting services expensive?** RICHESD offers you attractive deals on professional web hosting. The costs vary depending on the package you opt for and the optional additional features you choose. Please refer to the respective package for more information.** Which target group is the RICHESD web hosting package best suited to?** Our packages are aimed at companies, agencies, institutions and private individuals. Beginners will find suitable offers just as easily as bloggers, web developers, students and start-ups. We offer companies and agencies enough storage space and resources for multimedia company websites, brand showcases and extensive eCommerce sites. RICHESD web hosting is also a suitable option for anyone who wants to move to an experienced provider. What is the difference between web hosting and a server? A server, or web server, is part of the web hosting infrastructure. They are powerful computers on which both configuration files and the data of the hosted websites are stored, i.e., websites and all website content. A root server is a server with "root access" to the configuration data of a server. The RICHESD web hosting service does not offer root access as we take care of all the necessary configurations for you. If you choose a dedicated server, a virtual private server or a cloud server, you will have root access and can configure the server yourself.** What is the difference between web hosting and a domain? A domain is an internet address that leads to a web server. This server stores the respective content, services and offers that you publish on your domain, i.e., the content that makes up your entire website. If you enter an internet address in the search bar of your web browser, you can retrieve the data that has been provided on the respective server. Providing adequate storage space on a web server is called hosting. Your domain is your business card on the web. It should be as simple and as distinctive as possible, so that interested parties can easily find your content on the internet. An internet address ideally consists of a short and memorable domain name and a distinctive top-level domain (also known as an extension), like .com or .org. A domain is structured like this: www.yourdomainname.co. Which security aspects do I have to consider? One of the most obvious risks to site security is lack of encryption. If you have SSL for your site, hacking attacks become harder to execute, securing your online presence. The different types of DDoS attacks target the different aspects of web hosting through volumetric attacks, application layer attacks and TCP state exhaustion attacks. Getting DDoS protection is therefore an important security precaution. Backups are not only helpful in the cases of hacked sites, it could happen that you delete important files, or that you install a software or update that breaks the site. If you've backed up your website, however, there is nothing that you can't fix. The final vital security feature you should look at is whether web hosting providers enable two factor authentication (2FA). Most providers offer this, and it is an easy way to make sure only authorized users can gain access to your website.
