Frequently Asked Questions
A web domain is your website’s unique address on the internet—like www.yourbusiness.com. It’s how people find and access your site, similar to a street address for a physical location.
Web hosting, on the other hand, is the service that stores your website’s files, images, and data, making it accessible online. Think of it as the land where your website is built. Without hosting, your website wouldn’t have a place to exist on the internet.
To have a functional website, you need both—a domain so people can find you and hosting to keep your site live and running smoothly.
Both Linux and Windows servers can host websites, but the best choice depends on your website’s needs and the technologies you plan to use.
Linux servers are the most popular choice because they are faster, more secure, and cost-effective. They support widely used web technologies like PHP, MySQL, and Apache, making them ideal for WordPress, Joomla, and other CMS platforms. Most hosting providers use Linux because of its stability and performance.
Windows servers are best if your website requires ASP.NET, Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL), or other Microsoft-based applications. They are less common for general web hosting but necessary for businesses using Microsoft technologies.
For most websites, Linux hosting is the better option due to its reliability, security, and broad compatibility with web development tools. However, if your project relies on Microsoft frameworks, a Windows server may be the right fit.
The timeline for building a website depends on its complexity, features, and customization. A simple website (like a brochure site or landing page) can take 1-3 weeks, while a more complex website with custom design, e-commerce, or advanced functionality may take 6-12 weeks or more.
The process typically involves planning, design, development, content creation, testing, and launch. The more revisions and features required, the longer it may take.

Organic SEO is essential because it helps your business rank higher on search engines without relying on paid ads. Unlike paid campaigns that stop generating traffic once the budget runs out, organic SEO provides long-term visibility and credibility.
With effective SEO strategies—like keyword optimization, quality content, and link building—your website can attract consistent, high-intent traffic from people actively searching for your products or services. This leads to higher conversions, brand trust, and cost-effective growth over time.
No matter the industry, better search rankings mean more opportunities to reach your audience. Investing in organic SEO ensures your business stays competitive, visible, and positioned for long-term success.
