Web Hosting Tips & Resources From NameHero
Recently we’ve been getting some questions in our help desk about how our nightly backups work. While I have a good bit of material on our blog about how to actually use the backups, I feel like I need to explain the backup process in more detail. What Type Of Backups Come With Your Account? […]
Most of our customers here at NameHero choose to use WordPress. However, we still get a fair amount of requests asking our sales team about the type of website builders we offer. For those unfamiliar a website builder is an application that allows you to drag and drop elements as well as the ability to […]
If you’ve ever moved your website to a new web host, you know how challenging this can be. Running Internet-based businesses for the last two decades, this has always been one of my least favorite things to do. At NameHero we try to make this as easy as possible as our team has experience moving […]

All of our cloud web hosting packages here at Name Hero include cPanel. For those unfamiliar, it’s basically a browser-based control panel that allows to you completely manage your web hosting account with us. From creating email address to uploading files and setting up additional domains, it’s a very powerful piece of software. In my […]
When you first sign-up for web hosting or switch providers, there is a period of time called DNS propagation where your name servers have to update across the globe to display your website on your new hosting account. Depending on where you’re located geographically, this process can take anywhere from an hour up to 48 […]
At NameHero we limit the number of Inodes per cPanel account (on Basic and Reseller hosting) to 100,000 (soft limit) and 250,000 (hard limit). What the heck is an inode and why is it limited?
