Web Hosting Explained: Types & Benefits

Hello developers, welcome all of you to another new blog. You must know that to do any business one needs an office, just like if a person wants to open a shop or do business, for that he will first have to rent or buy a shop, only then he can open his shop, so I want to explain to you that if you want to make your website or portfolio live publicly or show it to people, which brings traffic to the website and there is benefit, then for that you have to take a hosting, so let's understand now in detail step by step what is hosting hey what are its benefits.

You must have visited all the websites online which are visible to you online. If you want to study something or need notes, then you search the name of any particular website and you find it. This happens because they have made their website live publicly, due to which users can visit their website. Hosting is a very big server in which data of crores of websites is stored. If you want to host your website, then you have bought hosting from any hosting company like hostinger, in which you have to pay some money. Then you buy it as you want. If you do this, you get a small part of the hosting server in which you can host websites according to the number of storages your hosting has. If you host a website once, users can visit your site.

Server hosting plays a very important role because all the data of the user's website is stored on the server itself. As you must have heard from people many times that if this website is down today or the server is down, then the server is very big in which there is data of many websites, due to which this problem occurs due to excessive load.

If you buy hosting then you must know how hosting works, we will understand this in some small steps.

• If any user wants to view a website, he first opens his browser and enters the name or link of the website in it.
• As soon as we search a website, a small process happens in the backend in which the browser connects to the server.
• As soon as the browser connects to the server, the server loads the file of that particular website in the browser and then that website becomes visible to you.

You know how hosting works but along with all this you should also know how many types of hosting there are. Hosting is mainly of five types. Let us understand step by step how this five type of hosting works.

• Shared Hosting: This hosting is the best and lowest cost for beginners. You can host a very good website in less money. If you are buying hosting for the first time, then you should buy this.
• VPS Hosting: This hosting is of medium range which gives you more control and also good speed. If you are starting a business website or your website is of medium level then you can use this hosting.
• Dedicated Hosting: This hosting is a bit costly but in this you are given a complete server in which you can host multiple websites without any limit.
• Cloud Hosting: This hosting is very good and nice, you can host any website as per your wish, your storage step can be easily done in it, hence its speed is also very fast.
• WordPress Hosting: You must be aware about this hosting, in this you can host your own website and also create a website by doing drag and drop which is a very good option and its speed is also very good, if you are starting a website then you can start with this

This point is most important because if you are thinking of buying hosting or want to host a website then it is very important for you to pay attention to some things before buying hosting, if you do not pay attention to these things then you may face problems in future.

• Storage Space: If you do not pay attention while buying hosting that how much storage will be there or what you are getting then there can be a problem. This is most important because if the storage is less and the file data is too big then there will be a problem in loading the website.
• Speed & Uptime: Check the website hosting company from which you are taking hosting, how fast the website is loading and what is the website data uptime.
• Customer Support: This point is very important for you because customer support is a must for any company.
• Security Features: This point is about the security of your website. If the data of your website gets leaked, then you may have to face a lot of problems.

Domain: Many people do not know the difference between hosting and domain. Friends, domain is a name which you have to buy, like goutamprajapat.com, from this type you have to get the domain name, domains are of various types, .com, .in, .co.in etc. If you buy the domain and think that you will make the website live, then it does not happen, the website is not hosted only with the domain, the hosting and the website have to be linked.

Hosting: Can we make a website live by buying hosting? Then the answer to this is no because you cannot make a website live with just hosting, you have to link both domain and hosting, only then you can make your website live.
