Short answer: Hosting is the service of storing a website’s files, images, database and often company email on servers that are always online, and serving them to visitors. The domain is the address; hosting is the house the site lives in.
- Shared hosting: many sites share one server’s resources.
- VPS: a virtual private slice with dedicated resources and more control.
- Cloud hosting: runs across multiple servers and scales with demand.
- Dedicated server: an entire physical server for one customer.
- Managed hosting: the provider handles updates, security, backups and monitoring.
Hosting affects speed, availability, security, KVKK-related data handling and recovery after incidents. Typical packages include disk, CPU and RAM, bandwidth, databases, email, SSL, backups and support. Avoid choosing on price alone and keep accounts registered in your company’s name. Racoun, through Pedante, offers corporate hosting and VPS with SSL, backups and security updates under one contact.
