Quick answer: Overview of webspace, domain connection, mail, FTP and SSL at NexoraHost – starting point when you're not sure where to begin.
Here you'll find a comprehensive overview of webspace. From basics and features to tips for choosing the right package.
What is webspace?
Webspace is storage space on a web server that you rent to make your website, images, files or emails accessible on the internet. Unlike a VPS or root server, you don't have your own operating system here – you use a preconfigured environment that you share with others.
How webspace works
Your data is stored on a server that is connected to the internet around the clock. Visitors call up your domain, and the server delivers the stored files. Management is done via a web interface, FTP or an installer – no technical knowledge required.
What is included in a webspace package?
- Storage: SSD or NVMe storage for your files
- Domain support: Connect your own domains from any provider
- Email: Your own email addresses with your domain
- Databases: MySQL or MariaDB for WordPress and other CMS
- SSL certificate: Free encryption via Let's Encrypt
- 1-click installer: Easy installation of WordPress, Joomla and more
- FTP access: Direct access to your files
- Backups: Automatic and manual backups

Resource allocation at NexoraHost
With webspace and VPS, we use moderate resource overselling. This means available performance is distributed across multiple customers, while we ensure the servers are not overloaded. In normal operation you won't notice this – performance remains stable and reliable. Only with root servers do you get dedicated resources without any overselling.
