Shared hosting with a difference
Unlike with other web hosts, your website isn’t tied to one single server but makes use of a whole platform, meaning that you get incredible reliability and speed at an unbelievably low price. Your website stays online and runs fast.
Not like standard shared hosting
Traditional shared hosting performance is subject to how much traffic you get and what other users are doing, but our platforms are load-balanced and automatically scale to meet resource demands at no extra cost to you. Top-performance hosting speaks for itself.

When you create a hosting package you’re given a temporary URL.
There are a few reasons why you may want to use the temporary URL.
Viewing a hosting package when you have used a domain reference
At eWeball- Affordable Hosting you can create a hosting package using a domain reference. This means that the hosting package won’t be connected to a live domain name via DNS, so to view the files you’ve uploaded to the site you can use the temporary URL. It will display the site as if it were live, except it will be on our temporary URL servers and the URL is something like temporarydomain.com.
Viewing a site that you’ve migrated, before you switch the DNS to eWeball- Affordable Hosting
When migrating a site to eWeball- Affordable Hosting, we recommend the following process:
- Migrate the site files, emails and databases to eWeball- Affordable Hosting
- Check the site works at eWeball- Affordable Hosting via the temporary URL
- Point the nameservers to eWeball- Affordable Hosting.
Step 2 is where the temporary URL comes in. After you’ve copied all the site data to eWeball- Affordable Hosting, you may want to check that it works. Selecting the temporary URL will show you what the site will look like before you’ve pointed the nameservers to eWeball- Affordable Hosting’s.
Showing your client their site before making it live on the actual domain name
You may want to show your client a site that you’ve developed for them, without it being accessible on the live domain name. You can give your clients the URL:
temporarydomain.com
Alternatively, you create a redirect from the domain name to the temporary URL.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the temporary URL the same as a Staging Environment?
No, the temporary URL is not the same as a staging environment as it will always reflect what will be on the live site, so it’s not possible to perform work and then “push” changes to the live domain name.
Does the temporary URL support SSL?
The temporary URL does not support SSL, so if you have a hard-coded redirect that forces http:// -> https:// this will need to be removed. Similarly, when you are switching between the live domain and temporary URL, you need to make sure you add http and not https.
Are there any alternatives to using the temporary URL?
Yes, you can modify your hosts files. Your machine’s local hosts file allows you to override DNS for a particular domain or subdomain name. This is a great way to test the site ahead of changing real DNS: you’re able to test the website at eWeball- Affordable Hosting while the rest of the internet continues to use DNS to point to the existing website.
Does my website perform the same on the temporary URL servers?
No, temporary URL servers are reduced capacity as they’re just for trialing a website on the platform before going live so they’re not intended to benchmark performance.
The act of placing one's website on a server and making it available to users from all over the world via the World Wide Web is known as web hosting.
Dedicated servers, virtual private servers, and shared hosting are just some of the options for web space. All sorts of websites will be able to run smoothly with the help of these hosting plans. The more visitors who check out your site, the more power it will consume.
Some of the most frequent kinds of hosting include:
Different websites are hosted on the same server under shared hosting. It's configured so that each domain on the server has a fixed allocation of memory and disc space. As the cheapest option, it's perfect for personal blogs and other low-traffic sites.
When it comes to web hosting, a virtual private server (VPS) is a step above shared hosting. To put it simply, virtual private server hosting employs superior hardware. More server resources are made available to users while the server is still shared with other sites. Compared to shared hosting, VPS is more expensive, but it offers greater flexibility for your website.
Cloud hosting provides users with a guaranteed 99.9% uptime. This occurs because the servers' services are interconnected and automatically switch over to another if one should become unavailable. This means that your site will be available at all times, providing users with the greatest experience possible.
A dedicated hosting service provides you with an entire server that just hosts your website. As a result, you won't have to worry about having to disclose anything with other people. For highly trafficked websites, dedicated hosting is the best option for professional developers and administrators.
Eweball makes it simple to upgrade or downgrade your hosting plan as your business grows. You can begin with a basic hosting plan and progress to a more feature-rich and robust one as your site grows in popularity and demands.
