Easy Guide to Web Hosting

Hello!

Web hosting is like the land for your website home. Choose good land to have a strong home.

What Is Web Hosting?

A service that puts your website on the internet. Companies have special computers (called servers) to do this.

Kinds of Web Hosting

1. Shared Hosting

Like living in a big building with many people. Cheaper but slower.

• Good: Saves money, simple to use.
• Not Good: Can be slow.

2. VPS Hosting

Like living in a small building with few people. Faster but costs more.

• Good: More speed, more control.
• Not Good: More expensive, need some computer skills.

3. Dedicated Hosting

Like living alone in a big house. Very fast, but very expensive.

• Good: All the speed and control you want.
• Not Good: High cost, need technical know-how.

4. Cloud Hosting

Many computers work together. You pay for what you use, but it can be confusing.

• Good: Very strong, pay for only what you use.
• Not Good: Hard to know the cost.

What to Look For

• Speed: Makes people happy when they visit your site.
• Uptime: Your site should always be open, like a shop.
• Help: 24-hour help is best.
• Can Grow: Choose a hosting that gets bigger with your website.

Money and Value

Don't just look at the price. Think about what you get for it.

Website Name

You need a special name for your site (like www.yourname.com). Sometimes it's free with your hosting.

Safe Lock for Website (SSL)

• Makes your website safe. Good for keeping data secure.
• Google likes safe sites.
• Can be free with some hosting plans.

Types of SSL:

• Simple (DV): Proves you own the site.
• Better (OV): Checks if you are a real business.
• Best (EV): Very careful checks.
