How do I use the Onepager and hosting services simultaneously?
In case you choose the Onepager service and hosting service for a single domain name, you will often need to decide which one to use in priority to build a web page, but it is still possible to use them both simultaneously for certain purposes. Before explaining how it works, let’s find out what Onepager is, what hosting service is and what the main difference between them is.
What is Onepager?
Onepager is a web tool that lets create and easily manage a simple one-page business website without any additional web development knowledge. This is a very convenient solution for non-complex websites and can serve as a source of information that does not contain any heavy content and additional references.
What is a hosting service?
Hosting service is a powerful solution for those who plan to start a business and manage their own complex websites with media content included. It is a web space dedicated to website-related files that includes powerful additional services for the future business like email service, DNS management tools, SEO marketing tools, different security solutions, etc. Some technical knowledge is usually required to build a functional website from scratch, but in order to simplify this process, we provide Softaculous script installer. It allows to build a website by choosing one of the the most popular and powerful scripts such as WordPress, Joomla and many others and installing them in a few clicks. It is possible to check the full list of scripts available here.
What is the difference between them?
The main difference between both services is the functionality they provide. Onepager is mainly used to create simple landing or information pages while hosting service allows to create a fully functional complex website and is mainly used for substantial projects that require powerful management tools and additional services like email service, for instance. So considering the differences, you may use the Onepager service to quickly create a landing or an “under construction” page for your website rather than building a more complicated site in a hosting environment.
Also, you can create multiple websites under one hosting account. So, in case you have a few domain names, and you plan on building some of your sites with the Onepager service while others will use some external content like scripts, templates, modules, etc., our web hosting solution will be the best option to manage them all.
And of course, you can create different subdomains within your hosting account, and while your main site may be created by Onepager, a hosting account will allow you to create additional pages for your website.
