Shared hosting questions
What’s the difference between shared hosting and a cloud server?
On shared hosting several customers share one server and we run it for you. A cloud server gives you dedicated resources and full access, and you run the system yourself.
Can I move my existing site?
Yes. Once your plan is active, upload your files and database from the control panel, or message us from your account for help.
Do I need a domain before ordering?
You can register a new domain in the same order, or connect a domain you already own anywhere.
