Web hosting provides a secure place to store online content. The code, images, videos, and text that comprise a website all have to be stored somewhere. Without a stable digital repository, none of us could consistently access content on the web. That makes hosting one of the most critical parts of developing an online presence for anyone, from huge companies to small-scale personal accounts.

Web hosting allows users to store content offsite, reducing local storage costs and the associated physical footprint. It also makes it easier to build a genuinely durable web presence, with built-in advantages like back-ups for security and support.

This is the most popular type of website hosting. Commonly known as web hosting, shared server hosting is by far the most reliable, cheapest, and most accessible hosting. In this hosting plan, many client accounts are saved on the same server (the shared server). It is not just an ordinary computer but a huge and powerful computer that can handle thousands of requests at once.

HostMate.net prides itself on offering comprehensive shared web hosting solutions for you. Depending on what you want for your site, you can get what works best for you.

As a client, you will get great plans at HostMate with dedicated hosting support to take care of all the server maintenance and crucial updates. Let us host your site and take care of your crucial business.

To create a website, you’ll have to coordinate several of steps, and picking a web host provider is just one of them.

Register a domain: You’ll buy this from a domain name registrar like Domain.com, Bluehost, GoDaddy, or Google Domain, just to name a few. Or you can use our intuitive domain search tool to search for the desired domain here.
You pick a unique name to simplify people remembering your IP address (which is just a string of numbers). It’s much easier to remember “your-domian.com” than “149.255.62.30,” for example. The domain is the same no matter who you buy it from, but the pricing is different depending on services and add-ons.

Nameservers (DNS): The nameserver is the middle man that points your website visitors toward the correct IP address. Many times the same company will provide both your registrar and DNS services, but you can choose to go with a different DNS if you want. Some common ones are CloudFlare, OpenDNS, CleanBrowsing, and Google Public DNS.

Web hosting: The actual files that make up the website reside in a server maintained by your web hosting company. Again, this can be the same company as your registrar and DNS server, or you can use a different one for this part of the process. At HostMate we try our best to offer the best price/quality ration to our customers.

Your domain name is your address on the internet. It is also a vital part of building your brand.

For years, the widely used rule was to have a short, easy to remember domain name, while still being able to describe your business accurately.

Also, the Dotcom (.com) extension was mostly used - such as amazon.com, google.com, etc.

However, the current problem with Dotcom domains is that the list of viable domains that are available has become limited. Finding a .com domain for your business is becoming difficult.

As alternative, you could either register a two-word domain or choose a different extension, such as .net, .org or an extension based on the country where your business is running.

At HostMate.net, we make the entire process of purchasing and renewing your domain names quick and hassle-free. Use our domain search tool to check if your ideal name is available.

The domain name is the first thing visitors will see when they visit your website. It's the name they'll type into the address bar to access your content. It's essential to buy a domain before you launch your website.

Your domain name is your address on the internet and will be how many of your future and present customers will find and interact with you. If the events of the past few years have taught us anything, it is that an online presence is vital to keeping your business growing and thriving.

We make the entire process of purchasing and renewing your domain names quick and hassle-free. Use our domain search tool to check if your ideal name is available. The ideal, perfect domain should be short, memorable, and easy to spell.

In some cases a domain name may not be transferable to another Registrar. This could happen in the following circumstances:

Domain name is less than 60 days old
If the domain name you are trying to Transfer was registered less than 60 days ago, the request will get rejected by the Registry itself.

Domain name has been Transferred less than 60 days ago
A domain name can not be transferred to another Registrar within 60 days of a previous Transfer.
Example: A domain name can not be transferred from Registrar B to Registrar C, if it has been transferred to Registrar B from Registrar A within the last 60 days.

Theft Protection / Lock / Suspension has been applied on your domain name
If Theft Protection / Lock / Suspension has been applied on your domain name at the Current Registrar, then a Transfer for that domain name to another Registrar will not be allowed. You will first have to disable Theft Protection / Lock / Suspension for the domain name and then proceed with a Transfer.

Privacy Protection has been enabled on your domain name
If you have enabled Privacy Protection for your domain name, then you need to disable it, before trying to transfer it.

Disabling Privacy Protection
Domain name is in the Redemption Grace Period or in the Pending Delete status If the domain name is in either of these statuses, it can not be transferred.
