## [Domain, hosting and SSL explained](/en/blog/domain-hosting-and-ssl-explained/)

A domain is the address, hosting serves the files and HTTPS protects data in transit. These are related services with different ownership and renewal arrangements.

## [Static website or content management system?](/en/blog/static-website-or-content-management-system/)

A static site suits stable content and a controlled publishing process. A CMS can suit frequent editing by staff when the panel, permissions and upkeep justify the extra work.

## [What it means to host a website on Cloudflare](/en/blog/what-it-means-to-host-a-website-on-cloudflare/)

Static assets and dynamic application requests have different limits and billing behavior. A brochure site can keep most public pages static while processing enquiries separately.

## [Is business email part of website hosting?](/en/blog/is-business-email-part-of-website-hosting/)

A mailbox receives and stores mail, while web hosting serves pages. Sharing a domain does not mean the services share a subscription or administrator.

## [Common choices that slow down websites](/en/blog/common-choices-that-slow-down-websites/)

Large images, excessive fonts, heavy scripts and eager third-party embeds add avoidable work. Start by finding the expensive resources on the page visitors actually use.

## [Reading LCP, INP and CLS as a business owner](/en/blog/reading-lcp-inp-and-cls-as-a-business-owner/)

LCP concerns main-content loading, INP interaction responsiveness and CLS unexpected layout movement. Interpret these measures with the device, connection and data source in view.

## [Preparing images for the web](/en/blog/preparing-images-for-the-web/)

Export images for the size at which they appear, keep a consistent crop and describe meaningful content with alternative text. Retain original files and license records.

## [Protecting contact forms against spam](/en/blog/protecting-contact-forms-against-spam/)

Use server-side validation, a verified anti-bot token and proportionate request limits together. The browser alone cannot decide whether a submission is trustworthy.

## [Files and accounts to collect at website handover](/en/blog/files-and-accounts-to-collect-at-website-handover/)

A useful handover includes source files, deployment instructions, content and clear account control. Verify access while the delivery team is still available.

## [Keeping a website current after launch](/en/blog/keeping-a-website-current-after-launch/)

Maintenance includes factual content, working enquiries, dependency review and recoverable backups. Assign each responsibility rather than assuming that hosting covers everything.
