The IONOS Web Hosting Guide: advice for website ad­min­is­tra­tion

Hosting an internet presence (web hosting) is getting easier and easier thanks to the variety of tools and in­creas­ing­ly user-friendly content man­age­ment systems. But it’s still good to fa­mil­iar­ize yourself with the finer points of online service ad­min­is­tra­tion: and this is where our Web Hosting Guide comes in. In our Digital Guide to hosting, you’ll find in-depth in­for­ma­tion and rec­om­men­da­tions on programs, tools, plugins as well as general hosting tips. These useful articles are designed for all levels, from beginners to pro­fes­sion­al users: with relevant content and com­pre­hen­sive detail, the IONOS Web Hosting Guide offers expert knowledge to a broad read­er­ship.

CMS, blogs, and technical matters

The ‘Hosting’ category is one of six sections of the IONOS Digital Guide. This is then split into three further sub­cat­e­gories: ‘CMS’, ‘Blogs’, and ‘Technical matters’. The first of these is devoted to content man­age­ment systems, looking at the con­sid­er­able number of options available for website creation and ad­min­is­tra­tion. The ‘Blogs’ sub­cat­e­go­ry offers advice and guidance on the es­tab­lish­ment and operation of a suc­cess­ful weblog. Here, we also introduce the many ex­ten­sions and tweaks available for the most widely used blogging and CMS ap­pli­ca­tion of all – WordPress. Our final section focuses on in­for­ma­tion and tips on ‘Technical matters’. This sub­cat­e­go­ry explores the different sorts of web hosting, the various programs which lighten your web hosting workload, new hosting op­por­tu­ni­ties, and every­thing else you need to know about the ad­min­is­tra­tion of internet resources.

From beginner to expert: hosting tips for every ability

Our Web Hosting Guide isn’t just for checking basic re­quire­ments and tech­niques of site ad­min­is­tra­tion – trained pro­fes­sion­als can also expand upon their existing knowledge by reading our articles. Articles like ‘What is shared hosting?’ or our ‘Blog with success’ series are suitable for readers who are new to web hosting, whereas specific posts like ‘Indexing man­age­ment with robots.txt’ or ‘The top ten .htaccess tricks’ require prior knowledge and ex­pe­ri­ence. This variety makes our Web Hosting Guide at­trac­tive and ac­ces­si­ble for anyone in­ter­est­ed in website ad­min­is­tra­tion. Whether you’re a small to medium-sized en­ter­prise, a blogger, a developer, or simply a tech­nol­o­gy en­thu­si­ast: IONOS has got you covered.
