Web Hosting FAQs
Everything you need to know about SSD shared hosting, control panels, domains, and server capabilities.
What is Web Hosting?
Web Hosting provides the infrastructure to publish your website. Our Web Hosting service includes space on a secure web server to store your website, high-speed bandwidth to deliver it to visitors worldwide, configuration capability to associate your domain name with your website content, and 24/7 technical monitoring.
Can I have more than one domain name pointed to my web hosting account?
Yes! Depending on your chosen plan, you can host multiple distinct websites or park domain aliases that forward directly to your primary website.
How soon will my web hosting account be ready for use?
If you associate an existing domain name with your Web Hosting account, your website can go live immediately after your transaction has been processed. If you associate your account with a newly registered domain, it may take up to 24–48 hours for global DNS records to propagate.
Will I have unlimited access to update my website?
Yes, you have 24/7 unlimited access to update your website files, databases, and assets through the Plesk control panel, SFTP/FTP, or your CMS admin dashboard.
Will I have my own FTP access?
Yes. For Linux hosting, you can log in via SFTP/FTP using the primary username and password configured for your account or subscription in the Plesk control panel.
Can I have individual FTP logins for each domain?
Yes, you can create separate, isolated FTP user accounts for each domain name or directory associated with your hosting account directly in the Plesk control panel.
What type of control panel does Web Hosting use?
Global MCS utilizes the industry-standard Plesk Control Panel, providing an intuitive, secure graphical interface for managing files, MySQL databases, DNS records, SSL certificates, email accounts, and 1-click app installations.
What are your web hosting content policies?
All content hosted on Global MCS servers must comply with applicable state and federal laws and our Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service. Spam, malware, phishing, copyright infringement, and abusive scripts are strictly prohibited.
