Website Management after buying a Hosting

Question

4.50/5 (2 votes)

I have a question in my mind which is as follows:

After getting my website hosted, would I be able to manage my website?

"manage" here means, would I get to edit content on my website?
Would I be able to delete non relevant content on my website and MS SQL Server(hosted)?

Or should I make a different login user account in my website for me to do all this stuff and also add the whole code required for this authentication??

:confused:

Hosting means you will get a domain and a space on server for your website to be accessible via the World Wide Web. The code is still yours and you can change it the way you want.

Usually the web hosts will provide you with tool using which you can log-in and manage your web site content.

Hope this clears the doubt.

Thank you so much for your reply!!
Also thanks for the link!
So, I dont have to add an authentication code and also dont have to add new web pages for me to edit/delete my website's content?
And also, can I Insert/Update/Delete data in my database hosted by them (in case a user becomes invalid)?

"dont have to add new web pages for me to edit/delete my website's content? "
No.
"I dont have to add an authentication code"
For hosting purpose, no.

"And also, can I Insert/Update/Delete data in my database hosted by them (in case a user becomes invalid)?"
Most of the hosts include MySQL access in their package. They have tools (like cPanel) through which you can manage MySQL tasks. I am not very sure about how MS SQL management though.
But I guess there must be similar ways for it as well.

And thanks for accepting the answer. You may also vote it up if it helped.

I just confirmed a friend, he said most of them have their own UI for managing SQL tasks (insert/update/delete) as well. They are well designed and easy to use.

The question is : This depends on your hosting provider. Most providerd now adays sell full packages like having your website managed by Joomla. If so, you're able to manage your website quite easy. However, if your hosting provider doen't have such a system like Joomla, you'll still be able to manage your website, only in a different way. Your hosting provider will allow you to send files to your website using FTP or something similar. You'll have to manage your website 'offline' and 'sync' changes you've made using FTP.

Hope this explains a little, Good luck!

It all depends on hosting plans.

Here is the most typical situation of some minimal settings: shared hosting. For managing you site, you use just two things: FTP account provided for your content and some "control panel" — a Web interface to do all the administration; leading products are Plesk and cPanel. You can expect multiple small services bundled together, such as Web mail, Web statistics and more. Server-side technologies vary. Most popular and inexpensive setting is LAMP. You usually can add or configure software components you can use on your site.

The Control Panel usually contains some file manager. Many companies provide different kinds of "site building" tools — all of them are for complete lamers…
