Website Hosting FAQs

What is web hosting?

Web hosting is a service that allows organisations and individuals to post a website or web page onto the Internet. When you invest in website hosting, you are essentially renting space on a physical server that stores all the files, images, and databases necessary for your site to function. This server is connected to a high-speed network, ensuring that when a user types your URL into their browser, your site is delivered to them instantly.

How do I know my hosting is secure?

A secure web hosting company should provide multiple layers of defense. You can verify your security by checking for active SSL certificates (the HTTPS padlock), regular automated backups, and integrated firewalls. At Quba, we enhance this with proactive malware scanning, DDoS protection, and 24/7 monitoring to ensure your data and your users' information remain protected against evolving cyber threats.

Why do professional web hosting services come at a cost?

While budget providers offer low entry prices, professional hosting services for website management include "invisible" essentials that protect your business. This cost covers high-specification hardware, redundant power supplies, elite-tier data center security, and, most importantly, the human expertise required to manage patches and updates. With professional hosting, you are paying for reliability, speed, and the assurance that your site won't fail during critical business hours.

What is the difference between web hosting and a server?

The server is the physical hardware (the machine), whereas web hosting is the service provided by that machine. Think of the web server hosting as the physical building, and the hosting service as the utilities and maintenance that make the building habitable. One server can host multiple websites (Shared Hosting), or be dedicated entirely to a single client (Dedicated Hosting).

What is the difference between web hosting and a domain?

To have a live website, you need both a domain and website hosting. A domain name is your website's address (e.g., www.quba.co.uk), acting as a digital signpost. Web hosting is the actual space where your website files live. If the domain is the address on an envelope, the hosting is the letter inside; you need the address to find the letter, but without the letter, the address has nothing to deliver.

How much does web hosting cost?

The cost of web hosting services varies significantly depending on your site’s complexity, traffic volume, and security requirements. Basic shared hosting might cost a few pounds a month, while enterprise-level web server hosting or dedicated managed solutions can range from hundreds to thousands of pounds per month. At Quba, we provide bespoke quotes based on your specific resource needs to ensure you aren't paying for hardware you don't use.
