Shared hosting is a type of web hosting service where multiple websites are hosted on a single physical server. This means that the server's resources, such as CPU, RAM, and storage, are shared among all the websites hosted on it.
This makes shared hosting an affordable and user-friendly option, especially for beginners and small to medium-sized websites.

When you purchase a shared hosting plan, you rent space on a server to store your website's data, including images, videos, text, and code.
When a visitor types your website's URL into their browser, a request is sent to the server hosting your data. The server then transmits the requested content, allowing the visitor to view your web pages

Bandwidth is the amount of data transferred when someone visits your website. Anytime someone visits your website or you perform an activity on your website, you are literally consuming the bandwidth allocated for your hosting package.
Vikalink offers unlimited bandwidth. This means visitors can visit your website countless number of times and you can perform unlimited number of activities on your website without any restriction.

Disk space is the storage capacity on the server for your website's files. A larger disk space allocation means you can store more files (videos, audios, pdfs, etc) on your hosting package for your website.

A domain name is the address of your website (e.g., mywebsite87.com).

A domain extension, also known as a top-level domain (TLD), is the final part of a domain name, following the last dot (e.g., .com, .org, .net). It helps categorize websites and provides information about their purpose or geographic location.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Definition: A domain extension is the part of a website address that comes after the last dot. For example, in "example.com", ".com" is the domain extension.

Purpose: Domain extensions help to categorize websites. Some, like .com, .org, and .net, are generic, while others, like .uk or .de, indicate a specific country.

Types: There are many different domain extensions, including generic TLDs (gTLDs), country code TLDs (ccTLDs), and sponsored TLDs (sTLDs). Examples: Common gTLDs include .com, .org, .net, .info, .biz. ccTLDs include .uk, .de, .us, .ca.

Importance: Domain extensions play a role in how users perceive a website and can even influence search engine rankings.

Management: Domain extensions are managed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).

Domain propagation, also known as DNS propagation, is the process where changes to a domain's DNS records are updated across the internet's global network of DNS servers.
When you modify your domain's DNS settings (like nameservers or IP addresses), these changes need to be communicated to all the servers that handle DNS lookups for your domain. This process of updating the information on these servers is called propagation.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

DNS Records and Caching: DNS records, which map your domain name to its corresponding IP address, are stored by DNS servers. These servers often cache the information to speed up future lookups.

Changes Trigger Propagation: When you make changes to your domain's DNS records, you're essentially updating the information on your domain's authoritative nameservers.

Global Distribution: These changes then need to propagate to all the other DNS servers worldwide that might be caching your domain's information.

Time to Propagate: This propagation process isn't instantaneous. It can take some time, typically up to 24-72 hours, for all servers to update their caches with the latest information.

Impact on Users: During propagation, some users might see the old DNS information (e.g., an old website address) while others might see the updated information, depending on which server they're querying.

Checking Propagation: You can use online tools like whatsmydns.net or dnschecker.org to check the progress of DNS propagation and see how your domain is resolving from different locations.
