How to choose the best Hosting for your website



There are millions of domains present on the world-wide-web but do you know that every domain hosted on some server is not the same? Some websites are hosted on very good servers and they work really fast while other websites cannot bear the load of heavy traffic and they just stop working.



So, how you’ll know which services are best and which are worst. There are many factors that you should keep in mind to get the best hosting available. Your website speed is not only dependent on your hosting, but it also depends upon your page speed optimization and the traffic coming to your website. You may find some hosting cheap or maybe expensive but the best way is to get discount codes from somewhere and apply those codes to get the best and cheap hosting.

Let’s have a look at the things you need to keep in mind before you buy any hosting.

Decide your type of hosting

Hosting isn’t of just one type. There are basically three types of hosting provided by the hosting companies. These are:

  • Shared Hosting
  • VPS Hosting
  • Dedicated-Server Hosting

Shared Hosting

As it is obvious from the name, shared hosting is a hosting where a number of websites are hosted on the same server that’s why it is called “shared”. This hosting is enough for beginner bloggers or some small businesses which do not have much traffic on their websites.

VPS Hosting

VPS hosting is used when your websites start to get more and more traffic and your shared hosting cannot control that big amount of traffic. Likewise shared hosting, there will be other websites being hosted on your same server but in VPS hosting you get larger space for your website.

Dedicated Hosting

Dedicated hosting is the father of all hostings. In a dedicated server hosting, your whole website is hosted on a different server and all space present on that server is yours, no other website is present on that server which makes this the most powerful hosting used for very enormous traffic load.

Understanding your requirements

As we know small websites do not need high-end servers but they surely need to be fast. There are some terms used within the hosting that you should keep in mind while buying your hosting.

The first thing is Storage, most hosting providers offer “Unlimited Storage” which is technically not unlimited but it has enough space that you can utilize as much as you can but it will never run out for you. So you do not have to worry about that.

The second thing is your Bandwidth (News - Alert) space which is very important for uploading data to-and-fro from the website to the user. Most hosting providers provide “Unlimited Bandwidth” but it will not run out. Just check the description of your hosting plan to make sure that your bandwidth is unlimited.

Another thing is SSD space which is really important for your website speed and it plays a vital role in making your website fast. SSD space is a fast memory that just makes your page load faster and totally optimizes your website.
