FAQ

How do I choose the right web host?

There are some downsides to having too many hosting choices as it can make choosing a web host an overwhelming decision. There are ideal hosting plans available for every website and website owner, so choosing the the right host depends on what your needs are. What kind of support do you want: available 24-hours or personal support plans? Do you prefer to be hands-off and worry free, or will you be taking on some of the responsibilities? The first step to finding the right provider is to figure out what you expect from your web host, and evaluate what types of services your website needs.

What is the difference between Hosting Plans and Care Plans?

If you didn’t already know, all websites need a hosting plan. Universal Code offers Hosting Plans, but also offers add-on services as part of Care Plans. These plans can be purchased on their own – we offer unmanaged hosting and our Care Plan websites can be hosted elsewhere – but we also have four plans that combine different types of hosting and management.

Our Space-Walk Unmanaged Hosting Plans provides limited support with routine maintenance and back-end tasks, which have been configured to happen automatically. Our Care Plans provides a higher level of support and oversees the tasks that have the potential to disrupt your website. Our Auto-Pilot Fully Managed Plans offer advanced services for the back and front-end of your website.

What is the difference between shared and VPS hosting?

Both types of hosting involve sharing server space, but VPS hosting divides the server so that every website is independent of the other sites, avoiding the pitfalls that happen with traditional shared hosting.
