Whois & Analysis for bravehost.com

WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL.

WordPress is installed on a web server that is either part of an Internet hosting service or a network host in its own right.

The first case may be a service like WordPress.com, for example, and the second case could be a computer running the software package WordPress.org.

A local computer may be used for single-user testing and learning purposes.

Features include a plugin architecture and a template system.

WordPress was used by more than 27.5% of the top 10 million websites.

WordPress is reportedly the most popular website management or blogging system in use on the Web, supporting more than 60 million websites.

A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web.

Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server owned or leased for use by clients, as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center.

Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for other servers located in their data center, called colocation, also known as Housing in Latin America or France.

HTTPS (also called HTTP over TLS, HTTP over SSL, and HTTP Secure) is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet.

HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security, or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer.

The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and protection of the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data.

In cryptography, a public key certificate, also known as a digital certificate or identity certificate, is an electronic document used to prove the ownership of a public key.

The certificate includes information about the key, information about the identity of its owner (called the subject), and the digital signature of an entity that has verified the certificate's contents (called the issuer).

If the signature is valid, and the software examining the certificate trusts the issuer, then it can use that key to communicate securely with the certificate's subject.

In email encryption, code signing, and e-signature systems, a certificate's subject is typically a person or organization.

However, in Transport Layer Security (TLS) a certificate's subject is typically a computer or other device, though TLS certificates may identify organizations or individuals in addition to their core role in identifying devices.

TLS, sometimes called by its older name Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), is notable for being a part of HTTPS, a protocol for securely browsing the web.

A domain name is an identification string that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority or control within the Internet.

Domain names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System (DNS).

Any name registered in the DNS is a domain name.
