Your questions answered
What is web hosting?
The simplest, most affordable web hosting plan is defined as a file and content storage service on a server connected to the internet. What can a low-cost web hosting plan be used for? There are many uses for it, from website and project creation to data storage. By opting for a cloud service provider, you can pick and choose from several hosting types, including dedicated servers, shared hosting packages, and virtual private servers (VPS). These solutions are tailored to specific needs, and varying levels of technical knowledge.
What features are available with a low-cost web hosting plan?
We offer a wide range of additional features with our shared hosting plans.
Domain name: At OVHcloud, the domain name you reserve is free for the first year with any web hosting plan.
Storage space: Depending on the plan you have selected, you will have between 1GB and 65GB of disk space. This way, you can ensure optimal availability for your website — whether it’s a simple showcase website, or a resource-intensive e-commerce website.
Resources: On low-cost shared hosting, resources are shared between users. Please note, however, that our Performance plans provide guaranteed resources, and our Cloud Web solution includes an isolated server. This means your infrastructure can scale up as your business grows.
Email accounts: You get several email accounts with your web hosting plan. These email accounts have 5GB of memory. You can also host up to 1,000 webmail accounts.
SQL databases: With shared and private databases, you can store your comments or articles. They can also be managed easily via the OVHcloud Control Panel.
CDN: The Content Delivery Network is included with certain services, and ensures an optimal browsing experience for web users. Your webpages will load quickly, and your website will load faster.
SSL certificate: Secure the transactions made on your website, and protect sensitive data for your users with the Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. This certificate is included with all of our low-cost web hosting plans.
OVHcloud Control Panel: Configure your website easily via our centralised control and management interface. Manage your users, databases and files in just a few clicks.
1-click CMS: Use the most popular content management systems on the market (WordPress, Drupal, PrestaShop). With these tools, it is easy to create a website that suits your brand, and store them on our affordable web hosting plans.
How do I get a web hosting plan?
It’s really easy to sign up to an OVHcloud website hosting plan. Once you have determined which solution is best for your needs, create your customer account in just a few steps to order your free domain name and the low-cost web hosting package you will attach to it. Select the options that are relevant to your project (CDN, MySQL private databases, etc.) when you place your order. Next, configure your website and DNS, so that your users can access it quickly. You can then add more features directly via the OVHcloud Control Panel as your project grows.
What is web hosting used for?
With web hosting, you can store your website files on servers that are connected to the internet. These physical servers are managed by web hosting companies like OVHcloud. They have datacentres where the servers are located, and these servers cover all use cases — from simple hosting plans for beginners to more complex infrastructures that use virtualisation.
What hosting solutions are there to choose from?
There are several types of hosting available, and they are adapted to each use case and need:
- Shared hosting: Physical server resources are shared between customers. This is perfect for people looking to get started building and managing their website. The server administration and hardware management is taken care of by OVHcloud. This solution does not require the user to have any technical knowledge.
- Dedicated server: The physical server is managed by its user, who has root access. The user is responsible for managing their own machine, and this requires a certain level of technical experience. This solution is adapted to projects that require a lot of resources, high bandwidth and high flexibility.
- Virtual private server (VPS): A virtual server offers the right degree of flexibility for certain projects at the best price. The user manages their virtual resources, and manages their hosting space in accordance with their needs.
How do I choose the best web hosting plan to suit my needs?
There are several factors to consider when selecting a web hosting solution. The first thing to consider is your level of technical skill. For example, do you have enough experience to act as the administrator of your own server, or would you prefer to leave this responsibility to a provider that offers all-inclusive packages for web applications and content management? Once you have made this decision, you should also consider whether you would like to pick a solution in France and be as close as possible to French customers, or whether another location would be more appropriate for your project. You can then focus on your technical requirements — which will vary depending on the number of visitors you plan to receive to your website — the level of support you will need, and the scalability offered by your hosting company.
