Web Hosting

Web hosting refers to a host server i.e. a computer that stays online 24 hours a day and you can upload your website to it. And so your website is always available. You cannot do this work-up from your personal computer.

Many companies provide web hosting services like:

• Hostgator
• GoDaddy

Types of web hosting

Shared Hosting:

The first type is shared hosting. In this type, many users are given a single computer and all users share that one computer. This is the cheapest type of hosting and is suitable for websites that do not have a lot of traffic.

VPS Hosting:

This type is more expensive than shared hosting. In this too, one server is shared among many users but the number of these users is less compared to shared hosting and it also has more facilities. This hosting is perfect for a medium-sized website.

Dedicated Server:

In this type of hosting, the entire server is given to a single user and that user can take full advantage of the server. These hostings are best if the website has a lot of traffic.

Cloud Hosting:

This is a hosting that stores your website data on a different server. This is the most advanced type of hosting. It has several unique features.

How to decide which hosting should we get?

When buying hosting, consider the following factors to choose the best hosting for you:

1. Your budget:
   First, check your budget to see how much money you can allocate for this task.
2. Your website size and traffic:
   You also need to consider the size of your website and how much data it will store on the server. And how many people visit this site every day you will have to take hosting accordingly.
3. What are your requirements:
   The hosting companies also offer many additional services, for example, email or data backup etc. You have to see which of these services you need.

A few more things to remember:

• When buying, be sure to check the reputation of the company and what people think about it. How good is its customer service?
• Also compare the prices of different companies before buying. Because usually the prices of the companies vary a lot. A company offering a good for $100 can be offered by another company for $30. Some companies will give you hosting for a very low price in the first year, but your bill may be very high in the next year.
• You have to pay less for taking three years or five years of hosting but it is important that you are satisfied with the reputation of the company.
