Namespace
A unique identifier structure within hosting platforms that organizes domains, files, or resources, preventing conflicts and ensuring system-level consistency.
A namespace keeps digital environments organised and conflict-free. It assigns unique identifiers to domains, files, or system resources so that everything stays separate and easy to manage. In hosting, namespaces prevent overlaps between accounts, applications, or users on the same server. They're especially important in cloud systems, where hundreds of virtual machines or containers operate simultaneously. By creating clear boundaries, namespaces help maintain order and security. You never see them directly, but they're the reason your hosting environment runs smoothly without files or processes getting mixed up.
