Functions
What is web hosting?
Webhosting offers you the possibility to publish your own website on the internet. Here you rent web space and data traffic every month. In addition, you choose an easy and usable domain name, so that your website can be accessed everywhere.
What is HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, MySQL?
HTML is a programming language used to build a website. It can be used to specify which text will be placed where and how the layout of the page will look. CSS is used to create the design of the page. Javascript is a programming language to make an HTML page more dynamic. For example, it can be used to add effects to menus. PHP is a server-side programming language. Server-side means that the code is only executed on the server. PHP is used to perform certain actions on the server, such as saving a form in a database. MySQL is a database that is often used to store data from customers or visitors, for example.
What is FTP access?
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and is used to send and receive files. In this case, FTP is used to upload the files or pages from the website to your website.
What is data traffic?
Data traffic consists of the number of MBs consumed by the web browsers of visitors to the website. Every time a visitor loads a page from the website, a number of KB or MB are consumed, depending on the size of the web page or file that is downloaded.
What is a subdomain?
A domain name is for example hostingforyou.site. The part “www” that is usually placed before the domain, in this case hostingforyou.site, is called a subdomain. A subdomain gives the possibility to create multiple websites under one domain. For example, www.hostingforyou.site can be used, but also example.hostingforyou.site.

How is backup handled?
