Hosting is the place where the website, its files and database are stored.
The main purpose of hosting is to store site data and provide tools for the operation of its internal logic (launching scripts, interacting with the database, etc.). A certain amount of disk space is allocated on the hosting server, where you can place site scripts, its content, templates, plugins and other data. The hosting server receives requests from site visitors and returns the necessary information to them.
If there are several sites on a hosting at once, each of them will have its own virtual host with its own settings and a separate directory for files, as well as SSL certificate, configured redirects, etc.
Secondly, I'll create a hosting account on our server for you and our techs will install your software! 😀
If you wish to host on another server, please share server access with us:
cPanel (preferably) / Plesk;
FTP/SFTP/SSH + database information (name, user's name, user's password).
We recommend using cPanel for hosting management for several important reasons.
First, cPanel is one of the most common and reliable hosting control panels, offering extensive capabilities for managing your hosting and website. It provides an intuitive interface that significantly simplifies the installation and configuration of your website.
Second, using cPanel greatly reduces the installation time and simplifies the process of deploying your site. It allows for easy creation of databases, configuration of DNS records, uploading files, and much more. This saves time and effort that could be spent on more important tasks related to launching your web project.
Thus, using cPanel is a preferred option that simplifies the installation process and ensures a smoother start with your online dating service.

Cloud hosting
Cloud hosting refers to a type of web hosting where your website is run on a network of interconnected virtual servers. Unlike traditional hosting, where a website is hosted on a single server, cloud hosting draws resources from multiple servers, providing greater flexibility and scalability. This means that if one server is experiencing high traffic or issues, the load can be distributed to other servers in the network, ensuring consistent performance and uptime for your website. additionally, with cloud hosting, you can easily scale your resources up or down based on your website's demand, making it a cost-effective and efficient solution for businesses and individuals with varying traffic levels.
Dedicated server
A dedicated server gives you full control and exclusive access to your website, providing superior performance, security and flexibility. It is ideal for large projects with a large number of visitors that require special settings and high throughput. Unlike shared hosting, it gives you complete control, improving your site's performance. With 24/7 support, easy updates, and threat protection, a dedicated server provides a solid foundation for your project to grow.
Shared hosting
Shared hosting makes it easier and faster to set up your website online, ensuring its visibility and accessibility. The combination of hosting with domain and content makes a website accessible on the Internet.
We guarantee the safety of your website from malicious activity and DDoS attacks. By purchasing hosting, you get space on our server with a unique DNS for accessing your site around the world. Makes it easier to launch and maintain your website on the Internet by providing space for its storage and access to the network. This type of hosting is suitable for small and medium-sized projects, offering affordable and scalable solutions. You get convenient tools to manage your site, including one-click installation and protection against malicious attacks and DDoS threats.

How to move my site from one server to another?
1. Copy the site files onto your local PC or archive them to later extract them in the new server.
2. Make a database dump using phpMyAdmin or another database management tool.
3. Transfer the files onto the new server (binary transfer mode recommended).
4. Give the same access permissions to the files and directories as on your old server (the list of files and directories is available during installation).
5. Create a new database on your new hosting (mind the encoding: UTF-8).
6. Import your database dump into the new database.
7. In the configuration file (config.php), change paths to files and insert new database access details.
8. Set up cron jobs.
Please make sure that your new server meets the system requirements. We cannot be held responsible for server setup errors, insufficient system resources, etc. Our team can help you transfer the site from one server to another for a small fee. Please contact us in the live chat for more info.
How do I keep from losing my site?
We understand that sometimes the original software code may be affected due to accidental mistakes made when you or your developer apply customizations to the product code, or due to some other third-party-initiated changes in the product. This may result in software errors or other malfunctions which are not covered by our free technical support and require a per-hour payment to fix.
For such cases, we now offer an additional product warranty that specifically covers these incidents.

This additional warranty is valid for one single incident and lasts for one month.
It costs $89 and is non-refundable. Unused incidents cannot be carried over to the next month.
