When we search for information on the Internet, we use clear site names like google.com or realhost.pro. But we are the ones who communicate with names, while computers use dry and not very memorable IP addresses like 185.72.159.45 to understand each other.

So that we don't have to keep these thousands of numbers in our heads, mankind invented DNS — a kind of directory or phone book of the internet. We type in the familiar name of the site, and DNS instantly (sometimes intermittently, but more on that later) finds the IP address behind which the desired resource is hiding.

We would not be lying if we say that data is one of the most valuable resources today. Loss of information due to hardware failure, virus attack, or human error can cause serious problems for businesses and individuals alike

A reliable backup – is not just an extra precaution, but a necessity

Today, website security is not a luxury, but a necessity. Even if you just have a cozy recipe blog or a small business website, cyber threats can do a lot of damage. A hack can lead to data breaches, virus infections, or even a complete loss of trust with your audience.

That's why we, as experts in hosting and web security, have prepared 10 simple but crucial rules for you that will really help to make your website more secure.

The Internet is designed to allow data to flow quickly and reliably between billions of devices worldwide. Within countries, this is done by terrestrial fiber-optic cables that stretch along roads, and through towns and villages. But how does your video call from Kyiv to Los Angeles go almost without delay? The answer is a fiber-optic communications system that connects continents at speeds that would make even a cheetah uncomfortable.

And no, it's not about satellites, as half of internet users think. Nearly 99% of international traffic runs through undersea fiber-optic lines, the digital arteries stretching across the oceans.

• There are more than 500 such cables/
• Their total length — 1.4 million kilometers.
• This is enough to wrap the Earth around the equator as many as 32 times!"

Let's divert a little from serious topics and learn a few funny stories about IP address usage. Perhaps you may have heard some of them before. But in any case, a good mood is guaranteed for those who finish reading!!

Informed and experienced hosting users, of course, know about FTP. But beginners will find it useful to know what FTP is and why it is needed
