Website Hosting Provider: What is it and How to Choose?

[shukla7789]

The ideal host for your project may not be the one you have in mind. Learn how to choose a website hosting provider here!
Quick answer: when you think about a web hosting provider, what is more important – price, support or the service itself?

Don’t be shy about admitting that the price of hosting is the most important factor for you. After all, if you’re just starting out, you’ll probably want to look for the lowest price.

Plus, you certainly won't have any idea what to look for or expect in terms of the service itself. Maybe more disk space and unlimited everything?

However, choosing the right hosting can be much more romania number dataset than it seems.

This is because it is not just about numbers (such as price and resource limits): there are also issues such as experience and quality of service, stability of services and, of course, security.

In fact, countless headaches with hosts made me take the saying “If you want something done right, do it yourself” literally and today I have my own hosting service , more focused on consulting for WordPress.

But there is no such thing as “XorYis the best web hosting”: each case is different. It depends on the project, the traffic, your profile, your budget… but maybe I can help you make a safer decision.

With the help of clients and partners in the field, I have created this post with everything you need to know about website hosting providers. Below you will find:

What is web hosting?
Imagine that your website is a software and the hosting is a computer.

Similarly, for software to work and be used it needs to be installed on a computer, right? This is exactly what happens with a website.

In other words, hosting is where your website is stored and has the necessary resources to function.

However, there is more: in addition to the website and the hosting provider, another resource is needed that makes the browser identify your website on that hosting.

Such a resource is the domain, which is the addresswww.of your website and which also serves to create your email accounts.

In short:

Website: an application that brings together content, tools and whatever else is needed according to the business model of the person maintaining the website. Be it an institutional website, blog, virtual store, landing page, hotsite, etc.
Hosting: a virtual computer that stores the website and provides resources for the website to function. In other words, so that a user can browse the website and use its tools;
Domain: is an address, likewww.fabiolobo.com.br, which links the website to the hosting, making it accessible in browsers. Thus, when a user types its address in the browser, the domain will access the hosting that will make the website load.
Although this is a very basic explanation, without technical terms, I prefer to write it in a way that everyone can understand.

In addition, there are other types of hosting. I'll talk about that later!

Types of hosting
To complicate matters further, did you know that there are different types of hosting?

That's right. See below and don't make a mistake when hiring a plan.

Website Hosting
As I explained above, this type of hosting is precisely the focus of this post.

But we can still divide it into two segments:

Managed Hosting
In short, a managed host is a provider that offers all the features installed (or pre-installed), plus support for what is included in the subscribed plan.

So, if you have no experience with servers or don't want to do this kind of work, this is the most suitable type of hosting.

This is because the provider offers everything ready so that you can even install WordPress, for example, with just a few clicks.
