What is the difference between Linux Web Hosting on US, India, UK and HK servers?
The only difference is where your package is hosted geographically. The location of your server determines the latency of your website i.e. the time it takes your website to load for your visitors. If your visitors are largely located in North America, you should ideally choose US as your server location. Similarly, if a majority of your visitors are from UK or Europe, it would make sense to opt for the UK server location instead.
Which is better? Shared Web Hosting or Cloud Hosting?
In Shared Web Hosting, the resources of the server are shared between all websites on it, therefore making it an affordable option for enthusiasts and small businesses. Cloud Hosting uses a range of cloud technologies geared towards ensuring scalability if your website faces traffic spikes, along with SSD storage that provide performance and stability benefits. Cloud Hosting also offers RAM and CPU that are helpful for particularly resource hungry websites.
What is the difference between Linux and Windows Shared Web Hosting?
The key issue that determines which type of Hosting you need are the server-side applications that you plan on hosting. Certain applications require support from Linux or Windows. For e.g. applications that have been written in IIS, ASP, ASP.NET or MSSQL require Windows Shared Hosting, whereas sites that have been written in HTML, CSS, PHP or just a regular WordPress website need Linux Shared Hosting.
How do I build a website after buying hosting?
There are several options to help you create a website. Our Shared Hosting comes with Softaculous, a script library that automates the installation of several of the most popular web applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal etc. You can also upload your own custom code written in HTML, CSS, PHP, Python, Ruby, etc.

Does Shared Hosting allow me to host multiple websites on one plan?
Yes! You can host as many websites as you like on our Unlimited Hosting plans. Our Pro plan on US, India and UK servers support unlimited secondary domains which can be added through your hosting control panel.
Do I get a Website Builder with my plan?
Yes, through your control panel, you can use the inbuilt website builder tool named SitePad. SitePad is a drag-and-drop editor that lets you publish static content on your website through FTP. You can enable SitePad through Softaculous.

Does Whois have a backup policy? How do I obtain a website backup?
