WHAT IS WEB HOSTING?

Web hosting is a service that allows organizations and individuals to Host a website or web page on the Internet. A web host, or web hosting service provider, is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for the website or webpage to be viewed on the Internet. Websites are hosted, or stored, on special computers called servers.

When Internet users want to view your website, all they need to do is type your website address into their browser. Their computer will then connect to the server and your webpages will be delivered to you through the browser.

Most web hosting companies require that you own your domain name in order to host with them. If you do not have a domain name, the web hosting companies will help you purchase one.

Web hosting is a service that makes your website available on the internet. You rent space on a physical server to store all the website’s data and files. Indsoft helps you scale your hosting plans when you need it. So, you can start with a simple shared hosting plan and gradually upgrade to a cloud hosting or even a VPS hosting plan. The more popular a website is, the more resources it will need to function effectively.

The Most Common Types Of Hosting Include:

- Shared Hosting
- VPS Hosting (Virtual Private Servers)
- Dedicated Hosting
- Cloud Hosting
- WordPress Hosting

1. Shared Hosting :- Multiple websites are hosted on the same server, and each user is allocated a certain amount of storage space and resources. Often, this is the most affordable option available, so it is a great hosting option for hobbyists and bloggers.

2. VPS Hosting :- A virtual private server (VPS) setup generally uses more powerful hardware, making it possible for the web host to create a virtual partition for each user. It’s an excellent option for users with more advanced technical knowledge.

3. Dedicated Hosting :- When you have a dedicated hosting plan, the server is dedicated to your website only – you don’t share storage space or resources with others. A dedicated hosting setup is usually recommended for professional web admins and developers.

4. Cloud Hosting :- In this setup, websites run on multiple virtual or cloud servers – not just one physical server – reducing possible downtime and hardware failure. If you need access to more server power, this type of hosting can be right for you.

5. WordPress Hosting :- WordPress hosting is a shared hosting service that has been optimized for WordPress sites. At the basic level, it operates like any other hosting type - it provides website owners server space and resources to store and publish their website files.

The best web hosting for WordPress includes WordPress-specific features to increase the website's performance and additional tools such as a 1-click installer to help you build the website faster.
