What hosting is and how it works

Hosting is space on a server where your site's files and databases live, so the site is available online 24/7.

How it works at Orax:

• You order a plan — an isolated account with a control panel is created automatically on our server.
• You upload the site's files (via file manager, FTP or Git) and create a database.
• You point a domain — and the site opens for visitors.

What's included: domains and subdomains, MySQL databases, mail, FTP, SSL, cron jobs, a PHP version selector, a web terminal and a file manager with an editor.

Which plan to choose: look at disk space and the number of sites and databases. One simple site fits a small plan; for heavy projects take a VPS where resources are dedicated to you.

Not sure? Start with a small plan — you can switch to a larger one any time without moving the site.
