TYPES OF WEB HOSTING

Traditional Web hosting

The main problem with traditional web hosting is the single point of failure (i.e. one dedicated server). If there is a hardware fault (a hard drive goes out) the entire machine is brought down until it is replaced. This can lead to hours of downtime creating widespread frustration and panic. Additional resources such as RAM have to be physically added, meaning if the server has a large traffic spike, the entire machine can begin to lag and redundancy is greatly reduced. Consider the following examples:

Dedicated hosting in kenya

Dedicated Hosting

One physical machine completely dedicated to your websites/business. Often used for websites with high traffic or server intest applications.

Virtual Private Server (VPS)

One physical machine virtualized into server "sub" machines. Each virtual server is used to have guaranteed resources. Multiple websites/businesses share on physical machine.



Shared Web hosting in kenya

Shared Hosting

Hundreds if not thousands of websites/businesses all share on physical machine. This is why Shared Hosting is often so cheap as the company is assuming the customer won't use a lot of resources.



Cloud Web Hosting

Cloud computing allows multiple physical machines to act as one system. Therefore with Cloud Web Hosting, visitors aren't accessing just one machine. They're accessing several instantaneously. More resources such as disk space, RAM, and computing power, can be added on the fly. Backups can be spun up instantly and websites can migrate seamlessly.

The services are free from capital expenditure. There are no huge costs of hardware in cloud computing. You just have to pay as you operate it and enjoy the model based on your subscription plan.

A domain name is your website name. A domain name is an address where Internet users can access your website. A domain name is used for finding and identifying computers on the Internet. Computers use IP addresses, which are a series of number. However, it is difficult for humans to remember strings of numbers. Because of this, domain names were developed and used to identify entities on the Internet rather than using IP addresses. A domain name can be any combination of letters and numbers, and it can be used in combination of the various domain name extensions A domain name consists of two parts: a top-level domain (TLD) and a second-level domain (SLD). In the domain name Biashara.co.ke, the TLD is “.co.ke” and the SLD is “Biashara.” The “http” and “www” are not part of the domain name; rather, they are part of the entire web address, called a URL. Some other examples of TLDs include .com. biz, .net and .org.

What Makes skyhost Kenya Web Hosting Different ?

Unlike many of the "big hosting" brands out there, we have built our entire web hosting platform using top of the line hardware and software. We also don't use traditional old school dedicated servers, rather our entire infrastructure is built in the cloud giving us the ability to scale resources on demand.

  • 100% True Cloud Web Hosting

    - All of the hosting packages offered at skyhost are deployed instantly on our private cloud. We don't use dedicated servers that operate on single pieces of hardware. Our entire infrastructure is built to be reliable, secure, and scalable.

  • 99.9% Uptime

    - Since our infrastructure was built in the cloud, with top of the line hardware and software components, we're able to offer 99.9% uptime. We don't just say this in our marketing, we publish our uptime reports each year and have also had our services tested by various third-parties to back this up. We hate downtime and understand how much it costs our customers.

  • SSD Web Hosting

    – Our private cloud has been built using Solid State Drives protected by Raid 10. Solid state drives don't have any moving parts and they use flash memory to store data, which provides much better performance and reliability over an HDD. RAID 10, also known as RAID 1+0, combines disk mirroring and disk striping to protect data.

  • LiteSpeed Web Hosting

    – LiteSpeed web server is a high-performance Apache drop-in replacement. LSWS is the 4th most popular web server on the internet and the #1 commercial web server. Performance up to 9x faster than Apache with a small memory footprint and increased scalability.

  • MariaDB

    – MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL meaning it follows the same schemas and structure therefore is compatible with your current scripts/software that require mySQL. The difference is faster and safer data replication.

Website Hosting Features You Need

There is nothing worse than getting your web hosting package purchased only to find you need to add endless amounts of add-ons to perfect your website. We believe everything you need should be included in the price of our packages:

  • Free SSL certificates (https

    Free SSL (https) – All domains and sub-domains hosted on our Web Hosting and Reseller Hosting accounts come with free and automatic SSL (https) powered by Let's Encrypt. Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority (CA), run for the public's benefit. It is a service provided by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG).

  • Cloudflare w/Railgun

    – Cloudflare offers many benefits including DDOS Protection, Web Application Firewall, Traffic Control, CDN, Website Optimization, and DNS. We also include their Railgun that increases website speed up to 200%. Railgun purchased alone is an over $200/month value.

  • Nightly Backups

    – We backup each cPanel account once every night. Along with our integration with Cpremote, customers are able to instantly access their backed up data with the click of a mouse. Restore the entire /home/ directory, email, or a single file without having to submit a ticket! Multiple Versions Of PHP – While it's suggested customers run the latest version of PHP, some applications simply cannot support it. That's why we offer the ability to select multiple PHP versions right inside of cPanel. In addition, we even patch older versions of PHP to ensure they're being used securely. You can also added specific PHP extensions and modify values such as upload limits right inside of cPanel


Benefits of Cloud Web Hosting

Regardless how small or large your web hosting needs are, our Cloud Web Hosting platform will allow you to be able to deliver your services with ease. Additional resources can instantly be added to your account from right inside our client interface by upgrading to the next package.

Our cloud has been optimized specifically for some of the most popular content management systems including WordPress. We also do nightly Malware scanning and removal to ensure your website isn't penetrated or exploited. Finally, we believe you shouldn't have to pay thousands of shillings a month to have access to this technology. All of our packages are affordable for both businesses and individuals!
