Understanding hosting

• Name: the project's name. Address: the TEISENDA address.
• Visibility: Publicly visible or Private, plus Offline if the project is offline.
• Sync status: whether the hosting node has the project's current state: Transferred, Being transferred or Not transferred.
• Created: the date the project was created.

Once the Space has a project, Usage on the list shows what it uses: Projects, Custom domains and Storage. Each value is shown against the plan allowance: The usage card shows how close the Space is to a limit.

TEISENDA reports that the page does not exist in these cases:

• You do not belong to the Space.
• The address contains something other than a project number where that number should be.
• No project with that number exists in this Space. It may belong to another Space or have been deleted.

Open the correct Space's project list and choose the project there.

The list has no create button. The project page has no upload area, version or domain actions, redirect-edit button, rename field or Danger zone section; visibility appears as text.

A project is a website in a Space. Create it with just a name; TEISENDA assigns a project number and TEISENDA address, and the project starts private. It is static: a set of files the hosting node serves as they are. A project belongs to exactly one Space and cannot be moved to another. See Create a project.

The TEISENDA address is the address TEISENDA gives every project: <Projektnummer>-<Space-ID>.teisendahosting.com. It has Automatic address in the project's address table. It is created with the project, does not change when renamed and works without a DNS record. It is the primary domain until you choose a custom one, and cannot be removed.

A version contains an uploaded archive's files. A draft (Open) still accepts files; you can publish a completed version (Ready). At most one version per project is published (Published). For retained versions and backups, see Versions.

A publication is a version's first publication; the app calls it Deployments. The plan limits a Space's total: 3 on Free, no limit on Max. Uploads do not count, nor does republishing a previously published version. See Publish.

A backup is a completed version you mark to retain. It does not count towards the versions the plan retains per project. A project can have 1 backup on Free or 3 on Max. See Keep a version as a backup.

New projects are private: Only Space members you grant access to can visit after signing in to TEISENDA. Anyone who knows a public website’s address can visit without signing in. You cannot grant private access to people outside the Space. See Visibility to change access.

A custom domain is your hostname that leads to a project in addition to its TEISENDA address. A hostname can belong to only one project across all Spaces. The primary domain is the one address where TEISENDA serves the project's website; every other address redirects to it. Unless you choose otherwise, it is the TEISENDA address. See Custom domain.

A redirect sends a visitor from one website path to another path or address. A project has an ordered rule list. For each request, the first matching rule wins, and rules take priority over files. See Redirects.

Offline is a project switch. While enabled, the hosting node responds with a neutral page at every project address. Versions, custom domains, redirects and settings remain. The project page and list mark such a project with Offline. See Take offline.

The hosting node is the server that stores and serves everything hosted at TEISENDA: each version's files, websites at TEISENDA and custom addresses, and custom domain certificates. Only the app writes to it: it saves each change first, then sends it to the node. The node knows neither customers nor plans; its limits are technical and the same for every plan: Limits.

HTTP requests switch to HTTPS and the primary domain. An offline project shows a neutral page; other project addresses redirect to the primary domain, keeping the path and query. Private websites require valid sign-in before applying your redirects and serving files. Pages are also accessible without .html. Missing files show the project-wide 404.html in the root folder (at most 1 MB), or the default error page.

The hosting node did not respond within 10 seconds. Click Transfer again again in a few minutes, or wait for the app to retry.

The hosting node rejected the app's sign-in. You cannot change this in the interface. Contact support.

The hosting node is undergoing maintenance and currently accepts no changes. Try again later. The app retries automatically.

The hosting node has no storage space left. Contact support.

On a project's first transfer: the hosting node assigns addresses in a zone different from what the app expects. The project's address would never be served. Contact support.

The hosting node previously had a project with this number and does not accept a number twice. The project cannot be transferred with this number. Contact support.

The project belongs to another Space on the hosting node. Contact support.

The hosting node rejected the state for another reason, or its response could not be read. Click Transfer again. If the message remains, contact support.

The person is the member's name. For someone who no longer belongs to the Space, it shows Former member; if no person acted, No one (automatic). The channel is User interface for the app interface, Connected app for an application using the Connector, or Automatic for actions the app performed automatically.

TEISENDA rejected the change: you have Read-only or no longer belong to the Space. The interface hides controls for a read-only role, so the message appears only if your role changed after the page loaded. Ask a member with Owner or Administrator for User or higher, then reload.

The project, version or domain no longer exists in the Space, for example because someone else deleted it. The message always names the project, even if a version or domain is missing. Reload or return to the project list.

The request stopped with an error for which the interface has no specific message, for example a lost app connection. Reload to see what was saved, then try again.
