Web hosting is a service that makes your website available on the internet. The hosting service provides a secure online space to store your website’s files: the code, images, text, and other content. Simply put, you need a hosting plan to make your site up and accessible for everyone.

The most popular website hosting services for both personal and business use include:

• Shared hosting. Multiple websites are hosted on a single server, and each user gets a certain amount of storage space and resources. It is the most affordable hosting solution, making it an excellent choice for beginners and bloggers.
• WordPress hosting. It works similarly to shared hosting. The difference is, Managed WordPress hosting companies offer plenty of tools and features to optimize your WordPress website for speed and performance, and facilitate site maintenance.
• VPS hosting. This type of web hosting service divides a physical server into several virtual machines, powering each user with dedicated resources and full root access. Virtual private server (VPS) hosting plans are more geared toward tech-savvy users who need more power and control.
• Cloud hosting. In this setup, websites run on multiple virtual servers, reducing possible downtime and hardware failure. Cloud hosting plans are ideal if you need stable website uptime and performance, for example, if you are a freelancer web developer with many clients.
