HTTP is an application protocol used to transfer data on the Internet. It is based on "client-server" technology, which means that the initiator of data transfer is always the client, while the server only receives and processes the request, sending back the results.
After buying a domain name and renting VPS you need to complete the final configuration of the site - that is to bind the domain to hosting and place all the necessary files for the normal operation of the resource in the control panel.

Website builders are software systems with extensive tools that can be used to create websites for any task. "In the box" of such a service there is everything you need at once:
The loading speed of the site is one of the most important characteristics, which should be emphasized in the development and optimization. Nobody likes slow and clumsy sites, modern people are used to getting information at lightning speed, and if for some reason your site is loaded long, most visitors will simply leave for other resources.
It is believed that the loading speed of web pages should not exceed 3 seconds - a conventional psychological threshold of waiting, beyond which people begin to feel annoyed. Along with this increases the risk of losing the visitor, so loading optimization is extremely important. Below we will tell you what you can do to speed up the site.

The SMTP server uses the SMTP protocol to send e-mails. And only to send, because other protocols are used for receiving - POP3 and IMAP. The data transfer is done via TCP connection, and the specification of Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is optimal for sending mass and transactional mailings. For this reason, it is often used by spammers.
The Caucasus region is adding to our arsenal of locations - HostZealot is now offering VPS in Georgia.
HTTPS is an extension of the HTTP protocol familiar to us, used to transmit data more securely through encryption. This is done via TSL/SSL cryptographic algorithms. Simply put, switching to HTTPS reduces the risk of data interception. And even if it happens, the intruder will not be able to decrypt them without a special private key stored on the server. The “interceptor” would only get a mass of unreadable useless characters that would take years to decrypt without a key. Or a quantum computer, but so far this possibility looks more like science fiction.
Server logs are files that record and store system information about the operation of the device. They contain data about certain events that occur on the server:
