What features should I look for when purchasing a Hosting plan/package?

When looking for a service to host your WordPress website, choose a service that allows you to install WordPress with a single click.

It should take a couple of minutes to set up and run a website in minutes.

A Shared Hosting plan will work right for you for a new WordPress website.

Can I host my website on a VPS?

You can also host your website on a Virtual Private Server (VPS), both a WordPress or a Custom-made website.

A VPS gives you a complete operating system that you can deploy your WordPress website or a custom-coded website.

However, it involves several steps that can be tricky to set up.

If you have a web application and want to set up your website on a VPS, I can also help you with such a service.

Should I choose a free or paid web hosting option?

• Free option

You may consider using a free option of hosting your website or blog with a popular hosting service. A free option is a setup where you use a free domain name that has the company’s name on it.

For example, the final link for your website will be mywebsite.xyz.com.

You can use such a service, but you are limited on your website customization. The hosting service dictates the terms. Additionally, it will be hard to migrate from a free to a paid option.

• Paid option

You should choose a cheap hosting service that you will spend a few dollars for the first year, then work on your blog or website within that time frame.

If you work hard on your marketing, it is easy to afford your hosting fees for one year.

If you need a strategy for marketing your website using long-serving and organic processes, talk to me – I will help you achieve that.

You can easily upgrade after you get your wheels running and get some cash from your website.

How do you choose the right web hosting service?

Choosing a web hosting service depends on these things:

1. The technology used to build your website
2. Features offered in each plan/package advertised by the hosting service

Selecting a hosting package depending on the type of the website

1. Web application

Choose a web hosting that supports the technology used to build your web application.

You will find that some web hosting services or plans do not include the web technology that you have used to develop your web app. For example, some services or plans do not include support for Python apps. Therefore, you cannot host Django web applications using that plan or service.

Also, it depends on how large your website is

Choose a plan/package with the right bandwidth, CPU, and memory (RAM) for your web application. A large website that serves many users requires high bandwidth and memory.

Alternatively, choose VPS if you have a huge web application with too many endpoints and require high processing.

Another thing: check the traffic threshold of the package

Choose a plan that can support many users if you are likely to receive significant traffic.

Alternatively, you can purchase a VPS if the traffic increases with time.

2. WordPress website

Before purchasing a plan/package, check that you can easily set up a WordPress.

Besides, check that the hosting service provides support if you encounter any issues with your website.

Although you should set up a backup strategy for your website, check that your hosting service automatically backs up your website regularly.
