A Domain Name Serves as the address of your online business. When the domain name is set to your server space, the website gets visible on the internet. As soon as anyone puts the domain name in the address bar, there will be an option for redirecting them to the website with the same domain name.
A Web Hosting is the space on the server where you can put your website files in order for everyone across the world to be able to see your website. When you want to build a house, you need a land where the house will be built. That land where you build you house on is the web host.
Your website is basically a collection of files and (in most cases) database that are served up to your visitors as they browse around it. Mydot.NG will allocate space for you to store your website and database.

Yes! Hosting comes in different types, shapes, sizes and features, with different setups suitable for different types of a webmaster. In general, hosting can be broken up into the following categories:
Shared Hosting: This is usually the cheapest form of hosting because it’s the most economical when it comes to the use of hardware. Shared hosting means that multiple websites are all hosted on the same server, with each user being allocated a certain amount of storage space and a certain amount of resources. This is often the best option for hobbyists and bloggers.
VPS Hosting: A virtual private server (VPS) setup is like a shared hosting setup on steroids. It generally uses more powerful hardware and takes its name from the fact that while multiple websites are being stored on the same physical hardware, each uses virtualization software to allow them to operate independently as though they were dedicated mini-servers.
Dedicated Hosting: Dedicated hosting is a good choice for the pros, and like its name suggests, it involves the use of a server that's dedicated to a single website. In other words, unlike shared and VPS hosting, the user doesn't have to share storage space and resources with other people and they have a physical piece of hardware all to themselves.
Cloud Hosting: Cloud hosting allows webmasters to tap into a large bank of servers that are all interlinked and designed to take over from each other if needed. In other words, if you need more resources, the cloud will provide more resources to rise to the demand. Cloud hosting is usually the best option if you want to aim for 100% uptime and don’t care how much you need to pay for it.
Mydot.NG provides all the above listed hosting types. This setup allows us to provide fast hosting with nearly 100% uptime at an unbeatable price.
Not at all! Mydot.NG makes it as easy as possible for even newbies to pick up the basics as they go along. Many of the everyday tasks, such as setting up an email address or installing a content management system (CMS), can be done with just a few clicks and with no technical knowledge whatsoever.
However, as much as it is easy to pick up the basics and get going, our hosting packages are also suitable for experienced developers. After all, there’s no reason why something can’t be both user-friendly and powerful at the same time.
Our techcustomer care team is at stand-by to help in any area where you need help.
If you're struggling, there's no shortage of online guides to walk you through the most common tasks that you might want to carry out, and we also have a customer support team who'll be more than happy to help if you get stuck. But for the majority of our customers, no help is needed – and if you just want to jump in and get started, it's quicker and easier than signing up for a new social network.
Good question! A virtual private server (VPS) is a little bit like a cross between shared hosting and a dedicated server. It's not quite the best of both worlds, but it is a good compromise and it can help you to keep costs down. Some people compare shared hosting to living in an apartment complex and VPS hosting to living in a condo.
With shared hosting, you're sharing a server and that server's resources with a bunch of other websites. With a VPS, you're still sharing some resources because that's determined by the hardware, but the software itself is set up in such a way that one machine acts like multiple different servers, providing a different virtual server for every user.
For webmasters, using a VPS means that they get the administrative power of a dedicated hosting setup, including the ability to customize their server to suit them.
Instantly! We're proud of the fact that setup is instant. That means our new customers can get started straight away without delay. Just create your account and walk through the order process. Once your order is successful, your hosting account is ready too. Just log in and to start managing your new hosting account immediately.
That depends on the type of website or project you want to host?
As a general rule, shared hosting is the best place to start, and Mydot.NG's hosting is suitable for almost any kind of website. Our hosting helps you to keep the costs down during the early days of your website while allowing you to pay only for the resources that you need. If your website starts to take off, you can easily upgrade to higher tier plan and pick up some extra resources.
Ultimately, every website is different. If you're not sure, why not get in touch with our team so we can chat it through with you and make a personalized suggestion based on your needs?
You might already be familiar with the term 'bandwidth' from your broadband provider. At its most simple level, bandwidth is a term that refers to how much data can pass along an internet connection.
When a user accesses your website, they send a request to the server and the server responds by literally serving up your website. Think of it as like turning on a tap. The more that people visit your website, the more water is flowing along the pipe, until you reach a point at which the pipe is full of water and it's running at full capacity.
The same idea applies to your website. If too many people are trying to access it at the same time, the pipe is filled up and the site starts to slow down and even to stop working altogether. Your hosting bandwidth is what determines the width of that pipe.
At Mydot.NG we offer Unlimited Bandwidth
MySQL is an open source database management system that uses structured query language (SQL) to access, add to and manage the content of a database. The fact that it's an open source tool means that it’s a popular choice for software developers, which is why it forms the backbone of many of the most popular operating systems.
Most modern content management system (such as WordPress) use it to store data. Every change that you make in the CMS is recorded in the MySQL database, and then every time a visitor arrives on the site, the content of that database is served up to them.
There are plenty of different ways to build a website, and it's our goal to make it as easy as possible for you to do so.
If you just want to get started, the best option is usually to use our auto installer to install a content management system (CMS) which you can customize to suit your needs, whether you're setting up a blog or whether you're creating a website for your business. With a CMS, you can create new pages and customize the look and feel of your site without any technical know-how or programming ability.
