General Questions
What is cloud hosting?
Cloud hosting is a type of web hosting that uses multiple servers to host websites, applications, and other online services. The resources of these servers are shared to provide a more reliable, scalable, and cost-effective hosting solution.
What are the benefits of cloud hosting?
Cloud hosting offers several benefits, including:
- Scalability: You can easily add or remove resources as your website or application grows or shrinks in size.
- Reliability: The use of multiple servers means that if one server fails, your website or application can automatically switch to another server without any downtime.
- Security: Cloud hosting providers often have advanced security measures in place to protect your data from hackers and other threats.
- Cost-effectiveness: You only pay for the resources you use, which can be more cost-effective than traditional hosting plans.

Other Questions
How are you able to offer unlimited web hosting?
We are able to do so on the basis of fair usage – the truth is, storage is expensive, and there are certain scenarios where it just isn’t feasible to allow an ‘infinite’ amount of storage for a single account.
The truth is that most websites really don’t use all that much space! It’s this reason that ‘unlimited web hosting’ actually works – do hosting providers make money from clients on a Ksh 3000 plan with 100GB of data? Probably not! However, the ‘law of averages’ tends to balance things back out, whereby the majority of those with unlimited hosting actually just use it for the ‘convenience’ of not having to scale their plan as they grow.
What security measures do you have in place to protect my data?
We take security seriously and use a variety of measures to protect your data, including encryption, firewalls, and multi-factor authentication. We also regularly monitor our systems for any security threats.
How do you handle data backups and disaster recovery?
We regularly backup our data to ensure that your information is safe in the event of a disaster or other emergency. We also have disaster recovery plans in place to minimize any downtime or data loss.
