Bandwidth
How much data your website can send and receive in a given time (usually per month). Think of it as the amount of “traffic” your site can handle. Tremhost offers plans with different bandwidth limits for all types of sites.
cPanel
A popular, user-friendly dashboard provided by hosting companies (like Tremhost) that lets you manage your website, emails, files, and more—all in one place.
Domain Name
The web address people type to find your site (like www.yoursite.com). You buy this separately, but Tremhost can help you register and connect your domain.
DNS (Domain Name System)
The system that matches your domain name to the correct server where your website lives, so visitors end up at your site.
Disk Space
The amount of storage your website gets on the server. This is where your images, files, databases, and emails live. Tremhost offers different plans with varying amounts of disk space.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
A way to upload and download files between your computer and your web hosting server. Tremhost supports FTP for easy file management.
Hosting Plan
A package you choose based on your website’s needs—how much storage, bandwidth, and special features you want. Tremhost offers simple, transparent plans for every kind of project.
IP Address
A unique string of numbers that identifies your server on the internet. Usually, visitors use your domain name instead, but every website has an IP address behind the scenes.
Server
A powerful computer that stores your website and “serves” it to visitors. Tremhost’s servers are optimized for speed and reliability, especially for African creators.
Shared Hosting
A type of hosting where your website shares a server with other websites. It’s affordable and great for beginners. Tremhost’s basic plans are shared hosting.
VPS (Virtual Private Server)
A hosting option where your website gets a dedicated “slice” of a server’s resources, giving you more power and control. Tremhost offers VPS plans for growing sites.
Dedicated Server
You get an entire server just for your website—best for large businesses and high-traffic sites. Tremhost offers dedicated hosting if you need maximum performance.
SSL Certificate
A security feature that encrypts data between your website and visitors (makes your site show “https” and a padlock in browsers). Tremhost can help set up SSL for your site.
Uptime
How often your website is available to visitors. The best hosts (like Tremhost) guarantee 99.9% uptime or higher, meaning your site is almost always online.
Migration
The process of moving your website from one host to another. Tremhost offers free, hassle-free migration so you can switch with no downtime.
Subdomain
A “mini-site” under your main domain, like blog.yoursite.com. Handy for organizing different sections of your website.
CMS (Content Management System)
Software that helps you build and manage your website without needing to code. WordPress is the most popular CMS, and Tremhost supports it (and many others).
Backup
A saved copy of your website. Tremhost regularly backs up your data so you can restore your site if anything goes wrong.
Email Hosting
Get custom email addresses that match your domain (like yourname@yoursite.com). Tremhost includes email hosting with all plans.
Support
Help from real people when you have questions or problems. Tremhost is known for fast, human support—no bots, no tickets, just real experts ready to assist you.
