As a start-up, we know that the beginning can be hard.
Therefore we try to help you with the following section. We will provide you with a step-by-step guide to better understand your own needs and what this means in terms of hosting services.
You’ll be surprised how easy it could be.
Let’s start with an overview of our step-by-step process:
We know that your web application is unique so try your best to group yourself with INTENT
In this first step, it has been shown in SEO research that conversation success of a web presence is related to “search query intent” (or intent). Your intent can play a major role in selecting the right technology for your success. The questions throughout this process have been designed as a guide, helping you define your objectives, technologies, and platforms.
Therefore, we encourage you to ask yourself the question:
How would a client search for my web presence?
Try not to fall into the trap of asking the questions: “What do I want to achieve?” or even more importantly “What keyword search will help me rank?”
With this in mind, please try to group yourself into the following four categories below:
Think of web technology which supports your intent
As stated before: Your technology should follow the purpose. Once the intent is established it would be time to compare it to the most suitable web technologies. We know that there are many web technologies available so if the technology you are using is not listed try to find the closest match.
Below you will find our most commonly supported web technologies. Please keep in mind that we do have some limitations and you can find this list at the bottom.
Identify your matching web platform for your web presence
You are almost there, please check if the required web platforms are supported with the following lists:
Description:
A CMS (or Content Management System) manages the creation and adaptation of your web applications digital content. By design, a CMS system can support the separation of content and presentation. It can support multiple users in a collaborative environment and includes Web-based publishing, format management, content history, and version control.
Description:
eCommerce systems are typically the engine behind the scenes of an online store, making it possible to easily manage inventory/ stock, add or remove products, calculate VAT/TAX, and everything else required to manage a website and fulfill orders for customers. eCommerce systems simplify intricate processes in a friendly user interface that enables people with non-technical backgrounds to oversee an entire online sales operation. In a way, they are similar to a CMS as they manage your products as a CMS manages your content.
Description:
An application framework is a software library that provides a fundamental structure to support the development of a web application for a specific system environment. An application framework helps a developer manage major tasks and cumbersome maintenance.
Description:
A front-end framework provides a standard way to build and deploy web applications consistently and accurately. These frameworks are usually universal and reusable and apply mostly to the overall "User-Experience". Front-end frameworks can provide particular or general functionality as part of a larger web application system (This is very common) and can facilitate the development of web applications fairly quickly.
Description:
Static Generators (or Web Page Generators) are framework/software that will generate upon request a static website. Static Generators generate the HTML code locally on your computer which can then in-turn be transferred to your virtual server.
Description:
“Flat File CMS” is similar to a CMS in that it is a management system for content. It stores the content as individual text files rather than in a database and organizes the content in additional files and/or folders in a pre-defined directory (normally the root directory of your web application). Flat-file CMS’s are functional from install and do not require additional performance tweaks or plugins to function. They are also working with no database.
