Lightning-fast Web Hosting

Web hosting, also known as Shared Web Hosting, is a service offered by companies (a web host) that sell or rent space on a server where you can store the files to make your website accessible on the internet. These companies usually require you to have a domain and they can help you buy one.

You might also hear the term cPanel Hosting being used instead of Web Hosting. cPanel is a web hosting control panel that most hosting providers offer to customers. It allows clients to manage their shared server, domain and website all from a simple user-friendly dashboard. MonsterHost web hosting plans come with cPanel.

If you’ve purchased a web hosting plan, we’ll store your site on our servers and assign it a unique DNS. The DNS is the address with which people all over the world can find your website. Without this unique address people will not be able to view your website.

When you buy a web hosting package, you buy space on our servers. It’s like space on a computer’s hard drive, and our server allows your website to access your files from anywhere.

Based on the plan you have for your website, we offer Windows and Linux hosting. For example, if you want to create a shopping cart or add a blog, see Should I choose a Windows or Linux hosting account? to see what works best for you.

Or contact the MonstertHost support team for hosting. We are happy to assist you.

cPanel is a web hosting control panel that provides web hosting customers with an easy dashboard to manage their hosting server, domain, email accounts, etc. cPanel proves a one-click web app installer which you can use to create websites through a wide variety of content management systems (CMS), like WordPress, Drupal, Magento and Joomla.

Transferring your website to MonsterHost is fast and simple. A part of our work is to help you migrate your site to our robust hosting platform. It’s a simple complication-free process that we can do in less than 24 hours. We offer free cPanel to cPanel migrations.

Got questions? You can always contact our support team. We can help you determine the best way to transfer your website to a MonsterHost.

If you own a website with an HTML editor, such as Microsoft Expression Studio, you can transfer the files through FTP (File Transfer Protocol). We have an integrated FTP File Manager in cPanel. This is located in your hosting client area.

If you’re transferring files larger than 20MB, we recommend using the FileZilla tool. It is compatible with Mac®, Windows®, and Linux® operating systems. You can also use other external FTP clients.
