What is bandwidth
and why is it important?

It is crucial, that when you are searching for a hosting provider, you do more than look at the price. You also need to know that your host has the in-house expertise to provide exceptional hosting and customer support. At Hostinkos, this is something we take very seriously indeed.

For us, providing a great service means making sure that our team is fully trained in all aspects of hosting and that they continue to keep pace with developments as technology progresses.

One example that illustrates our dedication to excellence, is our expertise in cPanel and WHM. If you run a Linux based website, chances are that you will use cPanel, a control panel and suite of tools needed to manage your site and server through a web browser. If you operate a VPS or dedicated server, you may also use Web Host Manager (WHM), a program that permits administrative access to the cPanel backend. WHM enables a user to manage multiple resource-intensive websites, resell web hosting services and create multiple cPanel accounts.

If you are a potential user of such software, it is important that any web host you opt for knows how to give you informed presales advice, deal with any technical problems you may face, and, crucially, know themselves how to manage a server and website using cPanel and WHM.

At Hostinkos, this is exactly what we do. As a certified provider of cPanel and WHM, we ensure that our team is fully trained in all aspects of managing this software. The way we have chosen to do this is by enrolling in the cPanel University.

The cPanel and WHM qualifications we take

To look after our customers, Hostinkos staff take two technical exams. Here is a little bit more about each of them. The cPanel University's technical exams were designed to establish professional standards in cPanel and WHM troubleshooting and support. They ensure that those who have passed have the required technical ability to work with the programs.

IT specialists are examined on everything from general Linux knowledge to in-depth cPanel and WHM troubleshooting tools and techniques. The two technical certificates we take are the cPanel & WHM Administrator Certification (CWA) and the cPanel & WHM Systems Administrator I Certification (CWSA-I).

- cPanel & WHM Administrator Certification (CWA)

The cPanel & WHM Administrator Certification tests our employees on their knowledge of server administration, including email troubleshooting, web stack setup, custom DNS configurations and administration of SQL engines through WHM.

- cPanel & WHM Systems Administrator I Certification (CWSA-I)

The cPanel and WHM Systems Administrator I Exam requires our employees to have an in-depth knowledge of how to manage a cPanel and WHM server from the command line. This proves their expertise in utilising cPanel provided scripts, troubleshooting common issues and safely managing an entire server.

What does this mean for our customers?

For a start, it means that if you use cPanel or WHM you know you will get the best sales advice and technical help in the business. However, there is more to it than this. Our work with cPanel and WHM is just one of many areas in which we train our staff. We are dedicated to ensuring that Hostinkos's hosting and customer support is second to none and, for this reason, our mission is to remain experts in all the areas that matter. So, when you ask us to host your website, you know that it is in safe hands.
