Website Hosting Explained
Updated over a week ago

At Connective, we offer website hosting services through My Website that include regular updates and enhanced security features for your website.

Web Hosting (Provided by Connective)

Web hosting, or server hosting, refers to the physical space where your website files are stored. Without hosting services, your files would have no designated place.

Domain Name Hosting (Not provided by Connective)

This is your website address, such as www.mycompany.com.au.

Computers communicate using numbers called IP addresses to connect with each other, like using a phone number to call someone.

Domain names act like entries in a phone book. Without a domain, you would have to inform your customers that your site is located at a temporary URL like 123.456.789.123, which can make your site appear unprofessional and impractical.

If you choose a Connective website package, you'll need to arrange your Domain Name Hosting.

Email Hosting (Not provided by Connective)

Email hosting is linked to your domain name. If you want an email address that matches your website/domain name (e.g., [email protected]), you'll need to get email hosting.

Choosing a Hosting Provider

Unfortunately, Connective cannot recommend a specific provider. The choice of an email provider depends on your specific needs, and you should select one that aligns with your requirements.
