A domain name is the human-friendly address people type into a web browser to visit your website — like example.com.

Think of it as your website’s street address on the internet.
Instead of having to remember a long string of numbers (an IP address like 192.0.2.123), you use a name that’s easier to remember and type.

How it works

1. You type a domain name (e.g., google.com) into your browser.

2. The Domain Name System (DNS) translates that name into the server’s IP address.

3. Your browser connects to the server, loads the website files, and shows you the site.

Structure of a Domain Name

• Top-Level Domain (TLD) – The extension at the end: .com, .org, .net, .edu, .gov, .store, etc.

• Second-Level Domain (SLD) – The main name you choose (e.g., example in example.com).

• Subdomain – A prefix to organize your site (e.g., blog.example.com or shop.example.com).

Examples

• example.com → domain name

• google.com → domain name

• blog.mywebsite.org → subdomain + domain name

Why domain names matter

• Brand identity – Easy to remember and reflects your business.

• Credibility – Professional-looking email (e.g., info@yourcompany.com).

• Accessibility – Visitors can find you without needing a technical IP address.

Alright — choosing the right web hosting is a bit like picking a house for your online “property.” You want one that’s the right size, secure, and fits your budget.

Here’s how to decide:

1. Identify Your Website’s Needs

Before comparing hosting plans, think about:

• Type of website – Blog, business site, online store, portfolio, or app?

• Traffic expectations – Small sites may get 100–500 visitors/day; large sites could get thousands.

• Technical requirements – Do you need special software, frameworks (like WordPress, PHP, Node.js), or database types (MySQL, MariaDB, etc.)?

• Growth plans – Will your traffic or content increase quickly?

2. Compare Hosting Types

3. Key Features to Look For

• Uptime Guarantee – Aim for 99.9% or higher.

• Speed & Performance – SSD storage, CDN, and caching support.

• Security – SSL certificates, firewalls, malware scanning.

• Support – 24/7 support via live chat, email, or phone.

• Scalability – Easy upgrades as your site grows.

• Backups – Daily or weekly backups included.

4. Avoid Common Mistakes

• Picking the cheapest plan without checking limitations (storage, bandwidth).

• Ignoring renewal costs (introductory prices may triple after the first term).

• Forgetting to check server location (closer servers = faster load times).

💡 Quick Recommendations

• Personal blog or small business site → Shared hosting (e.g., Bluehost, SiteGround).

• Growing business or mid-size e-commerce → VPS or managed hosting.

• Enterprise or high-traffic app → Dedicated or cloud hosting.

L

Shared hosting is a type of web hosting where multiple websites share the same physical server and its resources — including CPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth.

It’s like renting an apartment in a building: you have your own space (your website’s files and data), but you share the building’s facilities (the server’s hardware and network) with other tenants (other websites).

Key Features of Shared Hosting

• Cost-Effective – Cheapest hosting option because resources are shared among many users.

• Beginner-Friendly – Hosting provider manages server maintenance, security updates, and software installation.

• Limited Resources – Performance can drop if other sites on the same server consume too much CPU, RAM, or bandwidth.

• Less Control – Limited ability to customize server settings or install custom software.

• Great for Small Websites – Ideal for blogs, personal websites, and small business sites with moderate traffic.

✅ In short: Shared hosting is the most affordable way to get a website online, but it’s best for low-to-medium traffic sites that don’t need heavy resources or custom server configurations.

Dedicated hosting is a type of web hosting where you rent an entire physical server exclusively for your website, application, or organization’s needs.

Unlike shared hosting — where multiple users share the same server’s resources — with dedicated hosting, all the server’s CPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth are entirely yours.

Key points about dedicated hosting:

• Exclusive Resources: No sharing with other customers.

• High Performance: Consistent speed and capacity, ideal for high-traffic sites or resource-heavy applications.

• Full Control: You can choose the operating system, software, security settings, and configurations.

• Better Security: Reduced risk of vulnerabilities from other users.

• Scalable Hardware: Can upgrade components (RAM, storage, etc.) to meet growing needs.

• Higher Cost: More expensive than shared or VPS hosting due to exclusive hardware use.

In short — it’s like having your own high-performance computer in a data center, dedicated to running your online services.

he main difference between dedicated hosting and shared hosting is that dedicated hosting gives you complete control over your server, while shared hosting shares your server with other websites.

This means that you have more resources available to you with dedicated hosting, and you can customize your server to meet your specific needs.

• Dedicated hosting = exclusive server, maximum performance, full control, higher cost.

• Web hosting (shared) = shared resources, less control, lower cost, suitable for smaller sites.

Take your online presence to the next level with hosting that’s all yours. With KEKHost’s dedicated servers, you get:

• Power That’s All Yours – 100% of the CPU, RAM, and storage dedicated to your business — no sharing, no slowdowns.

• Lightning-Fast Performance – Handle heavy traffic and demanding applications with ease.

• Your Server, Your Rules – Full control over software, settings, and security to match your exact needs.

• Rock-Solid Security – Keep your data safe with advanced protection and no “noisy neighbors.”

• Unmatched Reliability – Enterprise-grade hardware backed by our uptime commitment.

• Room to Grow – Easily scale resources as your business expands.

• Expert Support – Priority assistance from specialists who know your setup inside and out.

KEKHost Dedicated Hosting — where performance, control, and reliability meet.

Choosing the best dedicated server comes down to matching the server’s capabilities with your technical requirements, performance needs, and budget.

Here’s a step-by-step approach:

1. Define Your Purpose

Ask yourself:

• Is it for hosting a single high-traffic site, multiple websites, or an application?

• Are you running resource-intensive software like databases, video streaming, or gaming servers?

• Do you have compliance/security requirements (HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR)?

2. Determine Performance Requirements

Consider:

• CPU – Choose more cores/threads for multitasking (e.g., E-2286G for high single-thread speed, Xeon/EPYC for multi-thread).

• RAM – 16GB minimum for most modern workloads; 32GB+ for heavier applications.

• Storage – SSD/NVMe for speed, HDD for larger capacity. You can combine them for balance.

• Bandwidth – Estimate monthly data transfer. Higher traffic sites need higher limits or unmetered bandwidth.

3. Pick the Right Operating System

• Linux (CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian) – Stable, secure, widely supported for web hosting.

• Windows Server – Best if you need ASP.NET, MSSQL, or Windows-specific applications.

4. Decide on Management Level

• Managed – Hosting provider handles OS updates, security patches, monitoring, backups.

• Unmanaged – You control everything; cheaper but requires expertise.

• Semi-managed – Shared responsibilities.

5. Security & Backup Needs

• Does the host include a firewall, DDoS protection, intrusion detection?

• Are automated backups included? Where are they stored (same server or offsite)?

6. Scalability

Choose a solution where you can:

• Upgrade CPU/RAM/Storage without migrating.

• Add extra drives or switch to higher bandwidth plans as your needs grow.

7. Support Quality

• 24/7 availability.

• Clear SLA (Service Level Agreement) with response times.

• Knowledgeable support for your OS and stack.

8. Location

• Choose a data center close to your primary audience for better latency.

• Consider multiple data center options if targeting global users.

9. BudgET VS. Value

• Don’t just go for the cheapest — balance cost with performance, reliability, and support.

• Look for transparent pricing (no hidden fees).

A 30-day money-back guarantee in web hosting is a refund policy that allows you to try our Shared hosting service risk-free for up to 30 days. This offer does not  apply to our dedicated server hosting plans.

If you’re not satisfied — for any reason — you can cancel your hosting plan within 30 days of purchase and get your money back.

How it works:

1. You sign up for a hosting plan.

2. You test the hosting service — speed, reliability, customer support, ease of use, etc.

3. If it doesn’t meet your needs, you request a refund before the 30-day window ends.

Important things to know:

• Applies to hosting fees only – Domain name registrations, SSL certificates, or add-on services are non-refundable.

• Starts from purchase date – The 30-day period begins the day you pay, not when you first use it.

• One-time use – You usually can’t sign up, cancel, and keep doing it repeatedly.

• Refund method – Refunds are often sent back to your original payment method.

💡 Example:
If you buy a shared hosting plan for $100/year and cancel on day 25, our company will refund you $100 (minus any non-refundable services such as $13 for a .COM domain name you might have registered).

Note: Many Internet service providers (ISPs) require you to be directly connected to their network to use their outgoing e-mail servers. If you're using a mobile PC and connect to the Internet using a different ISP (such as when using a wireless connection in a hotel), you might be able to receive, but not send, e-mail. Some ISPs will allow you to send e-mail when connected to a different provider if you use authentication when sending. Follow the previous steps to use authentication when sending e-mail. If your ISP doesn't allow this, you'll need to find out the name of the outgoing mail server for the ISP you're currently using, and then change the settings in Windows Mail to use it.

A True Domain name, or Virtual Domain is an Internet Address that will uniquely identify your website. You might have visited websites such as http://www.verizon.com, http://www.microsoft.com, mtnnigeria.com, kpm.com.ng or http://www.siftthru.com. These are all examples of Virtual Domain names.

Having a Virtual Domain will allow you to have an e-mail address such as jim@yourdomain.com for example.

To see if your Virtual Domain is available, and is not used by anybody else, please, visit InterNIC's WHOIS database, and type in the domain name of your choice. If there will be no match, you are can register that domain name, else you have to choose another one.

Yes, we can handle and register new domains for you at a discount. Also, If you are interested in transferring a domain name from another registrar, all we need is the domain name's Auth (Authorization) Code, contact them for the information. 

Send us your information via our Client Support Portal- https://www.kekhosting.com/osticket/ or via email. Alternatively, visit our member Network at http://www.kekdomains.com for information about the process.

This process is within 24 hours. You will receive your welcome and set-up information by email once payment confirmation is received. Remember, it can take longer for your domain name to point to your new account especially if your Domain Name is not registered by us. However, as soon as you receive your Hosting Account Welcome Memo, you are ready to access your new account with assigned IP Address number provided by us.

It depends on the type of services. KEK Technology Inc. (KEKhost) will bill and send a renewal notice, 2 weeks prior for shared hosting and dedicated server/cloud or a month prior for Domain Names.

Please note that our Welcome Email (sent after your hosting account is created) includes the details of our name servers. You will need this information to configure your DNS records with your registrar (the company that registered your domain).

We will process your order once the payment has been confirmed. The process for either the domain registration or web hosting account commences immediately  (usually within minutes) by the Respective Unit (Domain Name/Hosting/Cloud). The Welcome E-mail for the new hosting/domain/Dedicated Server should arrive within 30 minutes to 24 hours time frame.

We have a great web site creation tool included with most plans. It allows you to build a basic web site in our control panel. Many stores offer software which allows you to build web sites as well. Visit our WS Templates/Free Sitebuilders Page for additional information. Alternatively visit our Parent Company at http://www.kektech.net, they have several design packages for every budget.

Step 1: Sign up with us by going to our signon page at http://www.kekhosting.com/service_agreement.html

Step 2: Get your Authorization (Auto) Code from your current domain name registrar and then send it to us for processing.

Step 3: Once received, our Domain Name Registration Service Team will now process it through our Auto DNS Robot. A message will be sent to the email on record for your domain name on Whois database for validation. The system will also send a message to your registrar regarding the transfer.

Step 4: Once it has been validated by you, your registrar will then release the domain name to us to be transferred.

Note: Domain name transfer process takes between 4 to 7 days.

Step 5: Payment will be needed to proceed on the creation of your domain name on our web server. Once payment has been received and confirmed by our office, our hosting team will commence processing of your login information to access our hosting server.

Step 6: Within hours you will receive an email from us with your login information coupled with the instructions.

Step 7: Upload your web files for publishing to our server using the assigned IP Address and test your site on our server with your IP number. You use the IP Address just like a domain name. For example, if we give you an IP number of 64.29.16.244, you can put that number in a browser as http://64.29.16.244 to see what your pages will look like on our server. You can also use the IP address to upload your files with FTP, or log into your control panel using the address included in your welcome e-mail to access our web based file manager.

Presently the cost of, for example, a .COM is US$13.00 yearly (discounted with a yearly hosting package), and our prices are subject to change without prior notice. You can register a domain for as little as 1 year. If you would like to check the availability of a domain, click here and type in the name, if it shows up without a match, it is available!

The price for a domain varies by registrar, some charge up to $25 per year for a .COM domain name. There is no additional cost to register a domain name (except normal monthly web hosting fees of course). Remember once we have successfully registered and secured the name, there is no refund should you change your mind.

If we register a domain name for you, it is indeed yours and you can migrate it to another registrar/hosting provider if you wish.

Yes, you can access your site using both https://www.domain.com, and https://domain.com.

A web hosting reseller is someone or a business that purchases web hosting services (typically wholesale) from a larger hosting provider and then resells those services to their own customers, often under their own brand.

Here's how it works:

1. Buy hosting resources:
   The reseller buys a large hosting package (e.g., disk space, bandwidth, email accounts) from a major hosting provider.

2. Divide and resell:
   The reseller then divides that package into smaller hosting plans and sells them to individual clients — usually at a markup.

3. Branding & customer management:
   The reseller can usually brand the hosting as their own, manage billing, customer support, and sometimes offer additional services like website design, SEO, or domain registration.

Example:

Let’s say you buy a reseller hosting plan from a company like Bluehost, HostGator, or SiteGround. They give you access to tools like WHM (Web Host Manager) so you can create and manage multiple cPanel accounts for each of your customers.

You might then create three hosting packages:

• Basic Plan: 1 GB space, 10 GB bandwidth

• Pro Plan: 5 GB space, 50 GB bandwidth

• Business Plan: 10 GB space, 100 GB bandwidth

You can set your own prices and charge your customers monthly or annually.

Benefits of Being a Hosting Reseller:

• Low startup cost compared to running your own servers

• Passive income potential

• Can be bundled with other services (like web design or IT support)

• Scalable — as your client base grows, you can upgrade your reseller plan

Who is it for?

• Web designers/developers who want to offer hosting to clients

• Entrepreneurs looking for a low-barrier way to enter the web hosting business

• Agencies wanting to provide a full-service digital package

Yes, under the Dedicated server and Reseller plans only. We do not allow reselling under the regular hosting packages.

Every web hosting package comes with unlimited MySQL databases per domain, and it is managed from your Plesk control panel.

These are considered as “Third level” domains, and are part of the regular (primary) domain name on the web server.

There are no additional charges for this. The only restriction, is the second-level domain (i.e. domain.com) must already be pointed to our servers for the third level domain (i.e. mybiz.domain.com) to function. 

Our policy is to contact you and ask if you would like to upgrade to the next higher plan. If we cannot reach you, or you do not want to upgrade, there are cost associated with the overage per 1GB/Month depending on the package involved. 

A bandwidth overage in web hosting occurs when a website uses more data transfer than its hosting plan allows within a given billing cycle (usually monthly).

📡 What is Bandwidth in Web Hosting?

Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred between your website and its users — this includes:

• Loading pages

• Downloading files

• Uploading content

• Streaming videos or media

• API requests, etc.

If your hosting plan includes 100 GB of bandwidth per month, and your site traffic + file transfers exceed that, you've gone over your limit — that’s a bandwidth overage.

⚠️ What Happens When You Go Over?

That depends on the hosting provider:

1. Overage Fees
   You're charged extra for the extra GB used (e.g., $0.10 per GB over your limit).

2. Service Suspension or Throttling
   Your site could be:

   • Suspended until the next billing cycle

   • Throttled (slowed down) to reduce load

3. Forced Upgrade
   You might be required to move to a higher-tier plan with more bandwidth.

📈 What Causes Bandwidth Overages?

• A spike in website traffic (e.g., from a viral post or marketing campaign)

• Large downloads or media files hosted on your site

• Bots or DDoS attacks

• Poorly optimized code or bloated pages

💡 How to Avoid Bandwidth Overage:

• Choose a plan with enough headroom for your expected traffic

• Use content delivery networks (CDNs) to offload bandwidth

• Compress images and files

• Enable caching

• Monitor bandwidth usage regularly (your host usually offers tools)

Cloud computing is the modern way to power your digital operations. Instead of relying on physical hardware or on-premise servers, cloud computing delivers IT resources—like servers, storage, databases, and applications—securely over the internet.

At KEKhost, we bring you the flexibility and performance of the cloud, so you can scale smarter, move faster, and reduce costs—all without the complexity of managing infrastructure.

Why Cloud Computing with KEKhost?

• On-Demand Scalability
  Instantly expand or reduce your resources based on real-time needs.

• Cost-Efficient
  Pay only for what you use—no hardware, no maintenance, no waste.

• Secure & Reliable
  Enterprise-grade security, automated backups, and high availability built in.

• Global Accessibility
  Access your data and applications from anywhere in the world.

• Focus on Growth
  Leave the infrastructure to us, and focus on growing your business.

Whether you're launching an app, migrating workloads, or modernizing your IT strategy, KEKhost Cloud Computing gives you the tools to succeed in a digital-first world.

While both cloud hosting and shared hosting provide web hosting services, they differ significantly in performance, scalability, security, and resource management. Here's how:

1. Infrastructure & Resource Allocation

• Shared Hosting
  Multiple websites share the same physical server and its resources (CPU, RAM, storage). If one site experiences a traffic spike, it can slow down others on the same server.

• Cloud Hosting
  Your website runs on a network of interconnected virtual servers. Resources are allocated as needed, ensuring more consistent performance and reliability.

2. Performance & Uptime

• Shared Hosting
  Performance can vary depending on other users. It’s suitable for small websites with low to moderate traffic.

• Cloud Hosting
  Offers higher performance, faster load times, and better uptime—ideal for growing businesses or high-traffic websites.

3. Scalability

• Shared Hosting
  Limited scalability. Upgrading usually requires switching to a higher hosting tier or migrating to another solution.

• Cloud Hosting
  Instantly scalable. You can increase CPU, RAM, or storage as your website grows—no downtime or migration needed.

4. Security

• Shared Hosting
  Basic security, but you share server space with others—if one site is compromised, others could be at risk.

• Cloud Hosting
  Enhanced security with isolated environments, stronger firewall options, and more control over security settings.

5. Reliability & Redundancy

• Shared Hosting
  If the physical server goes down, your site goes offline.

• Cloud Hosting
  Built-in redundancy means if one server fails, your site is automatically routed to another—minimizing downtime.

Which One Should You Choose?

• Shared Hosting is ideal for:

  • Personal websites

  • Blogs or small business sites with low traffic

  • Limited budgets

• Cloud Hosting is ideal for:

  • Business websites or eCommerce stores

  • Applications that require speed and uptime

  • Projects expecting to grow and scale over time

KEKhost Cloud Hosting: The Smarter Choice

With KEKhost Cloud Hosting, you get the power, flexibility, and reliability your growing website or application needs—without the limitations of traditional shared hosting.

Here’s a clear and compelling breakdown of the benefits of Cloud Computing compared to physical (on-premise) servers, ideal for a website, brochure, or client pitch:

Cloud vs. Physical Servers: Why Choose the Cloud?

Moving to the cloud offers major advantages over traditional, physical servers. Here’s how cloud computing—like KEKhost’s cloud solutions—outperforms on-premise infrastructure:

1. Scalability

• Cloud: Instantly scale resources up or down based on demand.

• Physical Servers: Scaling requires buying, installing, and configuring new hardware—time-consuming and costly.

2. Cost-Efficiency

• Cloud: Pay-as-you-go pricing; no upfront capital expense or hardware maintenance.

• Physical Servers: High upfront costs, ongoing power, cooling, and maintenance expenses.

3. Speed & Flexibility

• Cloud: Deploy new services or infrastructure in minutes.

• Physical Servers: Setup can take days or weeks, depending on hardware availability and IT resources.

4. Reliability & Uptime

• Cloud: Built-in redundancy, automated backups, and disaster recovery options.

• Physical Servers: More vulnerable to hardware failures, power outages, or local disasters.

5. Accessibility

• Cloud: Access your systems and data from anywhere with an internet connection.

• Physical Servers: Typically limited to on-site access unless remote configurations are manually set up.

6. Security & Compliance

• Cloud: Advanced encryption, regular updates, and compliance-ready infrastructure (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).

• Physical Servers: Security is your full responsibility, including updates, firewall configuration, and compliance monitoring.

7. IT Resource Optimization

• Cloud: Frees your team from server maintenance so they can focus on innovation and growth.

• Physical Servers: Requires ongoing IT time and effort to manage, patch, and troubleshoot.

Bottom Line:

Cloud computing gives you the agility, performance, and cost savings needed to stay competitive in today’s fast-moving digital world. With KEKhost Cloud, you get all the benefits—without the headaches of physical infrastructure.
