Best Web Hosting Services

Web hosting or web server, is actually a computer that is turned on 24/7 and is connected to the Internet. You can “store” websites on that server, so it will be accessible via the Internet. When someone visits your site, it actually visit that web server, where your site is stored on.

There are 3 basic package types:
Shared hosting:
You share a server and it's resources with other webmasters. You can't access their data, and they can't access yours. A shared package is suitable for beginners, who just starting their web hosting experience. This package will be also the cheapest one. But on the other hand, your site performance is reduced because others are using the same server as you.

VPS:
VPS stands for: Virtual Private Server. As the name implies, with this package you get “almost” a server of your own. You still share the server with others but in drastically fewer numbers. This package comes with a lot more server resources allocated to you, so your site will perform much better than the shared hosting. There is a better separation from the others, with greater security. This package is more expensive than the shared one, but still much cheaper than a dedicated server. This package suits more experience webmasters, who need more CPU/storage/speed/bandwidth to their website than the shared package limitations.

Dedicated server:
This is the biggest package available. You get your own server which only you can use. All server resources are allocated to you exclusively. Dedicated server gives you the best technical specifications you can get with a lot more freedom. But it comes with a price. This is the most expensive package available which suits experienced users with sites that require large amounts of traffic and CPU usage.

First of all uptime. You need to know, that when you go to sleep at night, your site will still run smoothly. There are always new hosting companies out there, that try to attract new costumers with super cheap packages. But when the storm comes and things go sideways, they lack the technical skill and experience to handle the situation. You don't want to be in that situation. Today's standards are 99.9% uptime, and anyone that offers lower uptime should be avoided.

Secondly support support support. You need a company where you can easily contact support and you get your problems answered promptly. It's unreasonable to send a support ticket and get an answer three days later. And you will always gonna need them, even if you think you don't. Hosting encapsulate a lot of tech stuff, that at some point you will not know how to handle(even if you are an experince developer). So you will need a speedy, and knowledgeable tech support that got you covered.
