WHAT IS HOSTING AND WHAT IS IT FOR?
In order for your website to be seen online, you need a web hosting service. Web hosting services differ by how the servers are set up (i.e. the space allocated) and the type of access that people (aka hosting customers) have to them. Every website you’ve ever visited has a website hoster. The main types of website hosting are Shared, Dedicated, VPS and Reseller.
WHAT IS SHARED HOSTING?
Shared Hosting is a type of web hosting where a single physical server hosts multiple websites. Considered the cheapest hosting plan, many users utilize the resources on a single server, which keeps the costs low. Users each get a section of that server where they can host their website files. Shared servers can host hundreds of users. Each customer who uses the Shared Hosting server has access to such features as databases, monthly traffic reports, disk space, email accounts, FTP accounts, and other add-ons offered by the hosting provider. System resources are shared on-demand by users on the server, where each one gets a percentage of everything from RAM and CPU as well as the single MySQL, Apache, and mail servers.

WHAT IS WORDPRESS HOSTING?
Managed WordPress Hosting simply means that all technical aspects of running a WordPress website are taken care of (i.e. managed) by the web hosting provider. ZAMAN IT’s Managed WordPress Hosting, EasyWP, also features a user-friendly dashboard that allows you to update, manage, and back up all of your future installations. This means that you don’t have to figure out how to use a control panel (cPanel or Plesk) to manage your website. (As a friendly reminder, cPanel is a dashboard that is used to control your hosting environment.)
WHY SHOULD I USE EMAIL HOSTING FROM ZAMAN IT?
Although some web hosting providers offer free email, there’s often very few features and little-to-no support included. Private Email Hosting from ZAMAN IT, however, features a premium interface with way more flexibility and cloud power to manage all your communication—both personal and professional.
DOES ZAMAN IT PROVIDE AN UPTIME GUARANTEE FOR WEB HOSTING?
Whenever you purchase hosting from us, we offer you a monthly uptime guarantee. If for some reason we don’t deliver on this guarantee, which is determined by ZAMAN IT, you’ll be eligible for a prolonged service cycle—depending on your chosen web hosting plan.
WHAT ZAMAN IT WEB HOSTING PLANS ARE SUITABLE FOR MY WORDPRESS WEBSITE?
All of our web hosting services, besides Email Hosting, work with your website. If you’re a beginner and you’re looking for the simplest way to host, we recommend EasyWP, which takes care of all the technical aspects, or Shared Hosting, which is one of the cheapest hosting plans and also features the free Website Builder tool.
