accessible on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When someone visits your website, their browser sends a request to the hosting server. The server responds by loading the website files, database content, images, and other resources needed to display the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In mybox, hosting is structured as Modular Web Hosting. This means the main hosting environment can be adjusted with Add-ons and Boost Packs, depending on what your project needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Domain\"><\/span>Domain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A domain is the address people type into a browser to reach your website, such as <code>example.com<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The domain does not store your website files. It points visitors to the hosting environment where those files are located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hosting_%E2%89%A0_Domain\"><\/span>Hosting \u2260 Domain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hosting and domain names are separate services that work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A domain is the address of your website. Hosting is the infrastructure that stores and serves the website content. For a website to work, the domain must point to the correct hosting environment through DNS settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DNS\"><\/span>DNS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DNS stands for Domain Name System. It connects a domain name to the correct server or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, DNS records can tell the internet where your website is hosted, where your email should be delivered, or which service should handle a subdomain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DNS does not move website files or email messages. It only controls where requests are sent. For more information about DNS check the article <a href=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/baza-de-cunostinte\/ce-este-o-zona-dns\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/knowledgebase\/what-is-a-dns-zone\/\">&#8220;What is a DNS zone?&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nameservers\"><\/span>Nameservers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nameservers are the systems that manage DNS records for a domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you set nameservers for a domain, you are choosing where that domain\u2019s DNS zone is controlled. If your domain uses mybox nameservers, DNS records are managed from the mybox environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DNS_vs_Nameservers\"><\/span>DNS vs. Nameservers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DNS is the system that connects domains to services. Nameservers are the servers that store and publish the DNS records for a domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changing a DNS record updates one instruction inside the DNS zone. Changing nameservers moves DNS management to a different provider or platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DNS_propagation\"><\/span>DNS propagation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DNS propagation is the time it takes for DNS changes to be recognized across the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some networks may detect the new settings quickly, while others may continue using older cached information for a while. This is expected behavior after changing nameservers or DNS records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Propagation often takes a few hours, but in some cases it can take longer depending on caching, registrar settings, and network conditions. A more in depth article about DNS propagation can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/baza-de-cunostinte\/de-ce-dureaza-atat-de-mult-propagarea-domeniului-mecanica-actualizarilor-dns\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/knowledgebase\/why-does-domain-propagation-take-so-long-the-mechanics-of-dns-updates\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Server\"><\/span>Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A server is a computer system that provides services over the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In hosting, servers process website requests, store files, run databases, handle email services, or support other parts of the hosting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A single website may depend on several infrastructure layers, such as web services, database services, and email services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Website_files\"><\/span>Website files<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Website files are the files that make up your website. These can include HTML, PHP, CSS, JavaScript, images, themes, plugins, and uploaded media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a website to load correctly, these files must exist in the correct folder on the hosting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Database\"><\/span>Database<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A database stores structured information used by a website or application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, WordPress uses a database to store posts, pages, users, settings, and plugin data. The website files control how the site works and looks, while the database stores much of the content and configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Email_hosting\"><\/span>Email hosting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email hosting allows you to create and use email addresses on your own domain, such as <code>contact@example.com<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email hosting depends on mail services, DNS records, mailbox storage, and authentication records. If one of these parts is not configured correctly, email delivery or login may be affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mailbox\"><\/span>Mailbox<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A mailbox is the storage space for an email account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It contains received messages, sent messages, folders, and other email data. Mailbox storage is separate from website files, even though both may belong to the same hosting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SMTP\"><\/span>SMTP<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. It is used to send email messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you send an email from an email client, website form, or application, SMTP is usually the service that handles the outgoing message. The article <a href=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/baza-de-cunostinte\/ce-este-smtp\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/knowledgebase\/what-is-smtp\/\">&#8220;What is SMTP?&#8221;<\/a> explains how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IMAP\"><\/span>IMAP<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. It is used to read and synchronize email messages across devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With IMAP, messages remain stored on the mail server, and your devices display the same mailbox content. This is useful when using the same email account on a phone, laptop, and webmail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Webmail\"><\/span>Webmail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Webmail is a browser-based interface for accessing your email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of using an email app, you log in through a web page and manage your mailbox from there. Webmail is useful when you need quick access to email from a device where your email account is not configured. In mybox you can access webmail at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mail.mybox.com\">mail.mybox.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SSL_certificate\"><\/span>SSL certificate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An SSL certificate allows a website to load securely over HTTPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When SSL is active, the connection between the visitor\u2019s browser and the website is encrypted. Browsers usually show this with a padlock icon in the address bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SSL does not create the website itself. It secures the connection to the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HTTPS\"><\/span>HTTPS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP, the protocol used by browsers to load websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A website can use HTTPS when a valid SSL certificate is installed and active. This helps protect data exchanged between the visitor and the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FTP\"><\/span>FTP<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is used to upload, download, and manage website files on a hosting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FTP is commonly used by developers or site owners who need direct access to website folders and files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Control_panel\"><\/span>Control panel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A control panel is the interface used to manage hosting services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside a hosting control panel, users can usually manage websites, domains, DNS records, email accounts, databases, files, backups, SSL certificates, and other hosting settings. The control panel for mybox can be accessed at <a href=\"https:\/\/panel.mybox.com\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.panel.mybox.com\">panel.mybox.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Storage\"><\/span>Storage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Storage is the amount of disk space available for hosting data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can include website files, databases, email messages, logs, backups, and other account data. If storage reaches its limit, uploads, email delivery, or website updates may be affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bandwidth\"><\/span>Bandwidth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bandwidth refers to the amount of data transferred between your hosting environment and visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When someone loads your website, data is transferred from the server to the visitor\u2019s browser. Images, videos, downloads, and high traffic can increase bandwidth usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CPU\"><\/span>CPU<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CPU is the processing power used by your hosting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Websites use CPU when they process requests, run scripts, generate pages, execute plugins, or handle background tasks. More complex or busy websites usually require more processing power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RAM\"><\/span>RAM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RAM is temporary memory used while services and applications are running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A website may need RAM to process requests, run scripts, handle database activity, or support traffic. If a website needs more memory than available, it may become slower or return errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Backup\"><\/span>Backup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A backup is a saved copy of website, database, email, or hosting data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Backups are useful when data needs to be restored after accidental deletion, failed updates, configuration issues, or other unexpected changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A backup should not replace regular maintenance, but it provides a recovery point when something goes wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add-ons\"><\/span>Add-ons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add-ons are optional services or features that extend a hosting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In mybox, Add-ons allow users to adjust specific parts of their hosting setup without replacing the entire plan. You can find more information about the add-ons currently offered by mybox <a href=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/baza-de-cunostinte\/ce-sunt-add-on-urile-si-cum-functioneaza-acestea\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/knowledgebase\/what-are-add-ons-and-how-do-they-work\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boost_Packs\"><\/span>Boost Packs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boost Packs are resource upgrades that increase a specific part of the hosting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are used when one resource needs more capacity, such as processing power, memory, storage, or another defined limit. This supports the Modular Web Hosting model by allowing targeted adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Base_plan\"><\/span>Base plan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A base plan is the main hosting package that provides the foundation for your hosting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In mybox, One Box, Flex Box, and Prime Box are base plans. Add-ons and Boost Packs can be used alongside them when a project needs extra capabilities or resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add-on_vs_Base_plan\"><\/span>Add-on vs. Base plan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A base plan provides the main hosting environment. An Add-on extends that environment with an additional feature or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This distinction matters because not every change requires switching to another base plan. In Modular Web Hosting, some needs can be handled by adjusting only the part of the environment that has changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_meaning_for_users\"><\/span>Practical meaning for users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most hosting issues become easier to understand when the terms are separated clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a website is not loading, the cause may be related to hosting, DNS, SSL, website files, or the database. If email is not working, the cause may be related to mailbox settings, DNS records, SMTP, IMAP, or storage. Each term points to a different part of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When making changes, it is normal for some updates to take effect immediately while others take time. DNS changes may require propagation. SSL certificates may need time to issue. Website changes may depend on cache, file updates, or database changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding these terms helps you identify which part of the hosting environment needs attention before making changes or contacting support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span>Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hosting, domains, DNS, email, SSL, storage, and server resources are separate parts of the same website environment. They work together, but each one has a specific role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clear terminology makes it easier to manage your website, understand normal behavior, and know when action is needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[25],"manual_kb_tag":[],"class_list":["post-11883","manual_kb","type-manual_kb","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","manualknowledgebasecat-hosting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/11883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/11883\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11884,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/11883\/revisions\/11884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=11883"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=11883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
