Also known as shared hosting, this form of web hosting should suffice for most everyone. Virtual hosting simply refers to the fact that your site is on one server, and that this server hosts multiple sites. You are virtually shared - your site will not be the only one on this specific server. Very few sites would actually need the power of a dedicated server, so this option provides to be an efficient and economical solution. Cloud Hosting is a resent addition to the Internet hosting landscape. In its simplest form it implies endless supply of resources. The major Implication is that additional services and servers or storage are seamlessly added as needed without any interruptions to service. There is no need for additional hardware or outside vendors. Simply request the desired service in your cPanel and that service is added automatically. WereDigital has always provided additional services seamlessly to our clients with out interruption through cPanel and called it virtual hosting.

Your account itself can be ready instantly once payment is confirmed usually with in as little as 5 minutes. Do remember though if you also registered a new domain name that may take 24 to 48 hours for the DNS migration to be complete. The account and access is immediate and you can upload your files ready for DNS migration to be complete. Should you be doing a domain name transfer we suggest changing the name servers to ours before the transfer is started. The physical transfer of the domain can take 2 to 7 business days to complete between registers and you would be unable to change the name servers during the transfer process. Domain name transfers may be further delayed if the previous ISP, webmaster or former employee is listed as the admin contact. The admin contact needs to authorize the transfer. Our DNS or Name servers are: dns1.weredigital.com and dns2.weredigital.com

Domain parking lets you buy a domain and then have a 'coming soon' page on it. This is not needed - if a domain is not parked it will simply be inaccessible to anyone. Most domain registrars provide this by default.

IP (Internet Protocol). An IP address is the four-part or six-part number assigned to any Internet-connected computer, and is typically assigned to 1 or more domain names.Our Identity and Basic accounts used shared IP addresses, and the business plan provides you with a private IP if justified.

Disk space is the physical hard drive space you are contracting to use. Every single letter on your web site has to be stored somewhere on your web host's server. Each letter is one byte, and a megabyte(MB) is roughly one million bytes. HTML pages are usually very small, but the extra images, scripts, and data bases can take up large amounts of disk space. All of WereDigital's Hosting packages have amble storage capacity that is intended for web content only. Check our unlimited policy for actual intent and definitions. Bandwidth/transfer is the amount of data the server will allow your site to send in a month. Transfer is usually measured in gigabytes(GB) or billions of bytes. Once you go over your monthly limit, a host may either shut your site down for the remainder of the month or it can charge you 'overage'.Users at WereDigital  have large disk space and bandwidth limits. In such rare occasions that the limits are exceeded, your site is never turned off, but you may incur overage charges which are  [module-179].50/GB.

Uptime is exactly what it sounds like- it is the amount of time your site is online throughout the entire month. The best uptime would be 100%, but because things can break, many hosts offer 99.9% uptime guarantees. This means that if your site is not accessible for more than 43 minutes in a single month, they will reimburse you, depending on their terms of service. WereDigital offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee - see the SLA ("Service Level Agreement").
