The Just Web Hosting guide
Plain-language explainers for how modern web hosting actually works — content delivery networks, uptime, HTTPS, edge delivery, and how to choose a host. Each guide is original, jargon-free, and comes with an animated diagram that shows the idea rather than just describing it.
What is a CDN?
A content delivery network (CDN) is a group of servers spread around the world that each keep a copy of your website — so every visitor is served from the location nearest to them, and the page loads quickly everywhere.
Read the guideWhat do uptime & availability mean?
Uptime is the share of time your site is reachable; availability is whether a real visitor can load it right now. On a distributed network there is no single server to fail — if one location goes down, visitors are routed to the next nearest healthy one, automatically.
Read the guideHow to choose a web hosting service
The essentials worth checking in a web host: global delivery close to your visitors, automatic HTTPS, room to grow without re-platforming, and as little to manage as possible. The best hosting is the kind you never have to think about.
Read the guideWhat is automatic HTTPS?
Automatic HTTPS means your site gets a valid TLS certificate and an encrypted connection the moment it goes live — issued and renewed for you, with nothing to buy, install, or configure.
Read the guideWhat makes a website fast?
Distance is the biggest cause of a slow website. Serving pages from a location close to each visitor — and caching them at the edge so they are ready before they are asked for — is what makes a site feel instant, wherever it is opened.
Read the guideWhat is edge & global delivery?
Edge delivery means your site is served from many locations around the world at once, rather than one central data center. Every visitor is handed the nearest copy — that is the whole idea behind a global network.
