  1. Web Hosting Basics: Everything You Need To Get Started

  2. In today's world, everything is done online. Having an online presence allows you to reach others in ways that were previously impossible, making the benefits of having one obvious. However, starting a website can be a confusing and daunting task.

  3. The basics of web hosting include understanding what web hosting and domains are; learn how data storage, bandwidth, and uptime affect your website and what type of hosting is appropriate for your business.

  4. Whether you build your own site or hire someone else to build it, a web host is needed to publish a website online. We have provided a wealth of data on web site hosting that can help you in your decision-making process.

  5. Why websites need hosting • Web hosting is "physical" space given to you to store your website and the connection necessary for others to access and use your website. This space is located on a server (sometimes multiple servers) that provides storage and access to your site over the Internet. Servers are usually actual physical machines, but can be created virtually. • Web hosting is purchased from a web hosting provider (sometimes called a web hosting provider). You can effectively think of a web host as the owner of your website, where you rent space for your site on a monthly or yearly basis.

  6. Your website contains text, files, images, videos, and more, and a web server can hold and manage all of that information. There are several options offered by most web hosting companies, and each one has its own set of pros and cons that should be carefully considered before choosing one for your website. • Dissecting a Web Hosting Plan: Storage, Bandwidth, and Uptime • Each apartment you rent has different amenities, living spaces, dimensions, etc.; web hosting is no different. The more you spend on website hosting, the more you get out of it overall. These are the basic metrics you should pay attention to when considering hosting plans.

  7. Data storage (also known as disk space) • Data storage, or disk space, is pretty straightforward: it's the amount of space you have to store files, images, videos, pages, etc. The space provided to you is usually in gigabytes (GB) or terabytes (TB). Many hosting plans include unlimited or unmetered data storage. In this case, the space limitations are moved from your website or account and placed in the universal resources of the server where your website is located. • It is also worth noting that data storage can be located on a hard disk drive (HHD) or a solid state drive (SSD). An oversimplification of the two types of drives is that SSD is better than HDD because it allows faster access to your site data.

  8. Bandwidth (also known as data transfer) • Bandwidth, or data transfer, is the amount of data that can be passed from your website to your visitors in a given month (sometimes daily). Remember the "old days" when you constantly had to worry about using too much data on a cell phone plan? This is almost the same problem: more people visiting your site means more data passes between the two. Bandwidth overages may result in additional fees or suspension of your site. • Many hosts offer plans that include unmetered or unlimited bandwidth. Like storage, bandwidth limitations pass from your website to the universal resources of the server that hosts your website. • One last note: Bandwidth is less often used to indicate the amount of data that can be transferred per second rather than a monthly sum. This is usually only mentioned in higher-tier hosting, like dedicated hosting (more on that in a bit).

  9. Uptime • Like storage space, uptime is an easy-to-understand metric: it's the amount of time your website is accessible to the rest of the world. Technology isn't perfect, and even the best and most secure servers will experience some downtime. • Most web hosts will provide a 99.9% uptime guarantee, which means your site will be down for only 43 minutes per month.

  10. Domains/websites and email addresses • We already covered what a domain is (and you probably know what an email address is), but hosting plans often have a limit on the number of websites and email addresses you can put in one account. Smaller plans may be limited to just a handful of sites and emails or less. • Plans with unlimited storage and bandwidth generally allow you to add unlimited websites and email addresses to one account; the same goes for higher tier plans like VPS and dedicated hosting. Keep in mind that there are still limitations - you'll run into storage and bandwidth issues at some point with too many sites.
