Questions About Domains and Hosting in Uganda
What does web hosting do for a business website?+
Web hosting stores the files and databases behind a website and sends them to visitors when they open the domain. It gives the business a place to:
- Publish pages on a publicly reachable server
- Use the business domain for a consistent identity
- Receive enquiries beyond normal opening hours
- Apply SSL and maintain recoverable copies of site data
How can I register a .ug or .co.ug domain?+
Begin by checking whether the preferred Ugandan name is available:
- Enter the business name in the search field.
- Choose from
.ug,.co.ug,.com,.net, or another suitable extension (for exampleyourbrand.co.ug). - Add the available domain to the basket.
- Pay using an available checkout method.
- After successful registration, the domain becomes available in the account and can be connected to hosting and email.
Can I host both Ugandan and international domains?+
Yes. Hosting can be connected to local extensions such as .ug and .co.ug as well as widely used global domains. You can:
- Secure a new
.comor.netname. - Move an eligible domain into the Truehost account.
- Connect a registered domain to the selected hosting service.
Choose the extension that best matches the market the website serves.
Is SSL available with website hosting?+
Eligible hosting plans include SSL so browsers can connect to the website using
https://, helping protect information sent between the visitor and the site.
An encrypted connection also helps to:
- Encrypt information submitted through website forms
- Strengthen customer confidence
- Show the browser that the connection uses HTTPS
Can WordPress run on Truehost hosting?+
WordPress can be installed and managed on compatible Truehost hosting plans with:
- A guided software installation option
- LiteSpeed tools for caching and delivery
- Support when hosting settings need attention
Use it for blogs, company sites, catalogues and compatible online stores.
What happens if the website is with another provider?+
If the website is already hosted elsewhere, share the present setup so the migration scope can cover:
- Website files, databases and relevant email data
- A cutover sequence designed around the live service
- Checks for database and mailbox dependencies
Confirm the migration plan and testing steps before changing public DNS.
Which tools are available in the website builder?+
The website builder provides a visual route from a blank project to published pages. It includes:
- AI assistance for the first page draft
- Visual layout and page-content controls
- Structured foundations for search engines
- Forms for collecting customer enquiries
- Tools for common publishing tasks
- Reusable sections for forms, maps and bookings
Publishing time depends on the amount of content and customisation required.
How are a domain and hosting different?+
The domain is the address people type. Hosting is the server space that stores and delivers the website behind that address.
Should a Ugandan business choose .ug, .co.ug or .com?+
Use .ug for a short national identity, .co.ug for a clearly commercial Ugandan address, or .com when the audience is primarily international.
How technical is day-to-day hosting management?+
Basic tasks are available through a control panel. Support can help when DNS, application or server settings require more technical attention.
