Our services explained:
Hosting: a building plot for your website
Imagine that you are building a house. What you need first is a piece of land. The same applies to your website. When you build a website or when you have one built for you, you also need space to place it on the Internet. That space is also referred to as web hosting or just hosting. And that is exactly what Combell takes care of. We give your website a place to stand on and make sure it is available 24/7 via a super fast connection.
Domain name: an address for your website
Once you live in your new house, you need an address. For your website, it is a domain name, usually an Internet address such as Combell.be. In this example, Combell is a domain name (street) and .be is the extension (country). Each country has its own extension such as .be for Belgium or .nl for the Netherlands.
A domain name is not for sale. You rent it for a yearly fixed fee and, if you want, you can renew this registration. Registrations are processed through an authorised agent, a broker, so to speak. Combell is such an agent. Even better: we are the number 1 agent in the Benelux in international domain names. This means that, as a Benelux company, you can also register domain names in e.g. Mexico or Asia with us.
E-mail hosting: receiving and sending e-mails on your address
As soon as you have a domain name and web hosting, it is possible to receive and send e-mails via your domain name. This is made possible via an e-mail program such as Outlook or Eudora. Do not worry; you do not need any technical knowledge for this.
Servers: larger building plots
Exactly as they are different types of buildings, there are different types of web hosting. After all, some websites need more space than others. With shared hosting, you rent a small space on a central computer or server. In that case, you share the server's capacity (memory, hard disk, etc.) with others. You can compare this to living in an apartment.
Dedicated hosting, on the other hand, is perfect for large websites or applications. In that case, you can enjoy your own server, a villa, which you do not have to share with others.
Do you prefer a row house? A smaller space on a server, which is at the same time completely independent from the others? In that case, virtual hosting is the happy medium. A physical server is then subdivided in small separate servers by means of software.
