    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.
    Can I transfer my existing websites to Whois?
    Yes! You can easily migrate your Linux Hosting package from another web hosting provider. To begin, follow the steps outlined here.
    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 Shared Hosting come with SSH access?
    Yes, our Linux Shared Web Hosting plans come with SSH access.
    Can I create Email accounts for my domain with Shared Hosting?
    Yes, email hosting is included in your package when you purchase a Shared Linux Web Hosting package. Through your Hosting panel, you can create multiple email accounts with a 10 GB limit. If you need a dedicated Email hosting solution, we also offer Business, Enterprise and G Suite/Google Workspace options.
    Does Whois have a backup policy? How do I obtain a website backup?
    While we would always recommend maintaining copies of your website and database locally, you can get a dedicated backup of your website using CodeGuard, the advanced backup solution. CodeGuard can be added to your hosting plan during the purchase process.
    How do I install WordPress on my website?
    You can use Softaculous to install WordPress by following the steps below:

    Step 1: Login to your web hosting control panel
    Step 2: Navigate to 'Software' and click on 'Softaculous App Installer'
    Step 3: Choose 'WordPress' and click on 'Install Now'
    Step 4: Enter the required details and click 'Install'
    What is CloudFlare and how do I use it on my website?
    CloudFlare is a popular CDN (Content Delivery Network). It secures your website by monitoring the communication between your website visitors and your website. Along with providing speed and security benefits, it also helps protect your website from malicious activity like DDOS attacks.

    To use CloudFlare, follow the steps below:
    Step 1: Login to your web hosting control panel
    Step 2: Navigate to 'Software' and click on 'CloudFlare'
    Step 3: Create an account with CloudFlare, enter you website details and follow the steps outlined.
