What does a basic hosting plan include? Space, email, and more

Introduction

A basic hosting plan is the perfect starting point to publish your website with full autonomy. It offers you the essential resources to host your online project, create custom email accounts, and manage everything from an intuitive panel.

It is the most chosen option by individuals, entrepreneurs, and SMEs because it combines performance, security, and simplicity at an affordable price.

If you are starting with a corporate website, a portfolio, or a small online store, basic hosting allows you to have full control without technical complications. And when your project grows, you can easily scale to a higher plan without losing anything along the way.

Common resources of a basic hosting plan

Before choosing a plan, it is advisable to know the elements that are part of any basic hosting service. All are important for the performance, security, and management of your website.

Disk space

The disk space is the storage capacity you will have for your web files, images, and databases.

Modern hosting uses SSD or NVMe disks, much faster than the old HDDs.

• HDD (Hard Disk Drive): mechanical storage, slower and cheaper.
• SSD/NVMe: solid-state technology, without moving parts, with a read and write speed up to 10 times higher.

At cdmon, all our infrastructure works with NVMe SSD disks, the most advanced technology on the market. This guarantees ultra-fast read and write speeds, improving performance and browsing experience.

A website hosted on NVMe disks loads faster, ranks better, and offers smoother navigation for your users.

Bandwidth and monthly transfer

The bandwidth determines the amount of data that can be transferred between your server and your website visitors in a month.

In a basic plan, the limit is usually sufficient for websites with low or medium traffic.

If the included transfer is exceeded, the provider may:

• Notify you to upgrade your plan.
• Temporarily reduce the speed.
• Or offer unlimited traffic according to the service policy.

At cdmon, the transfer is unlimited in all our hosting plans, so you don’t have to worry if your website grows or receives traffic spikes.

Thus, you can focus on what matters: making your project evolve, without limitations or hidden costs.

Custom email accounts

Having email with your own domain gives a professional image and generates trust. Therefore, a good hosting should include custom email accounts with your domain (for example, hello@yourdomain.com).

A basic hosting usually includes several email accounts, with the option to expand according to your needs.

At cdmon, we help you make the leap to corporate email, a simple way to project a solid, professional, and consistent image with your brand.

All our plans include accounts with antispam, antivirus, and multi-device synchronization, so you can work safely and comfortably from anywhere.

Databases

The databases store the dynamic information of your website: texts, users, products, forms…

A basic plan includes one or more MySQL or MariaDB databases, easy to create and manage from the cdmon panel. You don’t need technical knowledge: you can do it yourself in a few clicks, phpMyAdmin guarantees secure and lossless management.

Free SSL certificate

Security is no longer optional. An SSL certificate encrypts the connection between your website and your visitors, protecting communications, improving your reputation, and reinforcing your customers’ trust. Moreover, having HTTPS is key for SEO positioning, as browsers mark websites without a certificate as «not secure».

At cdmon, all our plans include Let’s Encrypt wildcard and multidomain certificates, totally free and with automatic renewal, so you don’t have to worry about their maintenance.
Thus, both your main domain and your subdomains will always be protected and updated.

Control panel and ease of use

The hosting control panel is the heart of your project: from there you manage your domains, emails, files, and databases. It is the tool that gives you absolute control of your hosting.

At cdmon, we do not use cPanel: we have our own internally developed panel, designed to offer a more fluid, modern, and intuitive experience. From there you can manage domains, emails, files, databases, and SSL certificates in a few clicks, without relying on technical support. It also includes automatic installation of WordPress, Joomla, or Prestashop, FTP access, and DNS management.

Extra features that make a difference

In addition to the essential resources, there are features that elevate the hosting experience to another level. At cdmon, we bet on tools that give you autonomy and peace of mind.

Automatic backups

A good basic hosting should offer daily automatic backups.
This allows you to restore your website in minutes if something goes wrong (update errors, attacks, or accidental deletion).

At cdmon, we perform daily automatic backups on all hosting plans, which you can restore yourself from the panel. This way, you guarantee a quick restoration, even if something fails on your website.

Integrated security

Security is not an extra, it is a necessity.
A quality basic hosting includes:

• Perimeter firewall to block suspicious access.
• Antivirus and antimalware that scan uploaded files.
• DDoS protection, preventing downtime due to saturation attacks.

At cdmon, all servers are monitored 24/7 and have secure and redundant infrastructure in our own data centers.

24/7 customer support in your language

Human attention is part of our DNA. At cdmon, our technical support team assists you quickly and humanely, 24/7 in Spanish, Catalan, English, and Italian.

No matter if it’s a technical question or an inquiry about your account: we accompany you step by step so you have full control of your project.

Scalability: how to easily upgrade to higher plans

One of the biggest benefits of basic hosting is its flexibility to grow with you. If your project changes, your hosting should be able to keep up with you.

If your website starts receiving more visits or you need more resources, you can upgrade to a higher plan with a single click, without losing data or time.

At cdmon, all plans are designed to grow with you: you can expand resources or change plans with total flexibility, without interruptions or complex migrations.

If your website starts receiving more traffic, or you need more power, you can easily move from a basic hosting to an advanced plan or to a VPS server.

Flexibility and control, without complications.
