• How to Find the Best Web Hosting Provider for
  Your Website
• If you want people to visit your website, it
  needs to be hosted online. A web hosting provider
  will do this for you. As it becomes their job to
  find your website online, choosing the right web
  hosting provider is very important.
• In this article, we will discuss
• What exactly does a web hosting provider offer
  you
• How to choose the perfect web hosting plan for
  your business website
• Features to look for in a web hosting provider.
• To get you started, let's take a brief look at
  what web hosting providers do. Knowing this will
  help you better understand the various features
  they offer (which we will re-integrate).

• What Does a Web Hosting Provider Do?
• The primary function of a web hosting provider is
  to make your website live online so that people
  can access it.
• For this purpose, a web hosting provider will
  provide you with three key features
• Subdomain A domain is your website address that
  people enter in their browser to go to your
  website. For example, https//turbocloudhosting.co
  m/ is a domain name people can use to access our
  website. Your hosting provider will let you
  choose a domain name for your website and notify
  you once it has been taken.
• Server A server is a machine that runs your
  website live online. It is also responsible for
  supporting future traffic to your website. Your
  hosting provider will 'host' your website on one
  of their servers, so people can access it online.

• Storage Your website will contain text, images,
  videos and other media files and code. Your
  hosting provider will provide you with a
  dedicated space, where you can store all your
  website codes and media files.
• This is the basic function of every web hosting
  provider. A domain (such as a street address), a
  server (a place where your website can live and
  people can come to visit it) and a storage area
  (a file room for your website).
• In addition to these three basic functionalities,
  web hosting providers offer additional features.
  In the next section, well look at what these
  different features are, so its easy for you to
  decide which hosting plan you need for your
  website.
• Choosing the right Web Hosting Program for Your
  Website
• Your web hosting provider will give you different
  options when you go to them for web hosting.
• Shared or dedicated servers? Managed or private
  hosting? Single or Wildcard SSL? Linux or
  Windows? These different technical terms may be
  confusing, making it difficult to determine which
  program is right for your website.
• But don't worry, because, in this section, we
  will show you how to make different important
  decisions when it comes to choosing a web
  hosting plan.
• Decision No. 1 What Kind of Hosting Do You Need?
• As mentioned above, your web hosting provider
  will provide you with a server where your website
  will be located. But you will need to choose
  which type of server you want your website to
  Dedicated server or private server (VPS)?
• Here is the difference between the two
• Shared hosting
• Instead of shared hosting, your website stays
  with other websites on the same server. Here,
  server resources such as RAM, disk space,
  processor are assigned to websites that reside on
  that server.
• Hosting your website on a shared server is a very
  affordable option. Its a good decision if your
  website has just started, and you dont have many
  visitors. Thats because you dont need a lot of
  disk space or bandwidth required for high traffic
  areas.
• If you want more security, our Linux hosting may
  be exactly what you need. Linux hosting is
  generally considered to be the most secure
  option, depending on the application.
• If your website gets a lot of traffic (or regular
  spikes), you should not choose this type of
  hosting. This is because, since your website is
  on a shared server, the maximum amount of traffic
  may not be supported due to limited resources.

3

• Virtual Private Server Hosting
• Instead of visible private hosting, your website
  stays on the same server as other websites, but
  in a separate location. You get dedicated power,
  RAM and disk space that other websites on that
  server can't use.
• This type of catch is more expensive. But you get
  more power, which means your website can handle
  more traffic and process more user requests. If
  you have a well-established business and expect
  a lot of traffic, get a VPS hosting for your
  website.
• If your website is primarily a source of
  information or will not get many visitors, this
  type of hosting is not recommended. This is
  because if you get low traffic, your resources
  will be wasted.
• With these points in mind, it is up to you to
  decide what kind of catch you need. If your
  website receives a few thousand visitors, you
  will probably do well with shared hosting. But if
  your website gets hundreds of thousands or
  millions of visitors, VPS hosting is the way to
  go.
• Decision Number 2 SSL Security or No Security?
• In this area, there is no controversy. Of course,
  you need SSL security for your website.
• An SSL certificate will encrypt your website and
  customer data, and ensure that no outside hacker
  can steal it. This is especially important when
  using a website, where customers are required to
  enter sensitive data, such as email, credit card
  numbers and their home addresses.
• Here is what an SSL certificate does
• Encrypts any data flowing between your website
  and visitors. This means that hackers will not
  be able to detect any changing information
  between your website and its visitors.
• It puts a green lock on visitors' browsers when
  they come to your website. This shows them that
  your website is secure and increases their
  confidence that you are a legitimate business.
• Additionally, your domain name will start with
  https \\ instead of the usual https \\.
• If you add an SSL certificate to your website,
  Google will rank you higher on their search
  engine. This makes SSL more profitable in terms
  of SEO as well.
• There are two types of SSL certificates SSL and
  Wildcard SSL.
• The difference between the two is that wildcard
  SSL allows you to protect multiple websites,
  while the regular one allows you to protect one
  website.
• So, if you have one website, get a standard SSL
  certificate. However, if you have (or plan to
  have) more than one website, obtain an SSL
  certificate for wild cards. This will allow you
  to secure all current and future websites under
  your ownership.
• Decision No. 3 What Resources Do You Need?
• The last thing you need to know when you get a
  plan is how much resources you need.
• This is a simple step that requires you to answer
  a few basic questions like these

4

• How much disk space do you need? This depends on
  how many media segments are on your website. If
  more photos, videos, and files are on your
  website, you need more disk space.
• How much bandwidth do you need? This depends on
  the traffic you receive. If your website
  receives a lot of visitors, or crashes
  frequently, you need to improve your bandwidth.
• Once you have answered these questions, it will
  be easier for you to choose which hosting plan
  you need for your website.
• What to Look for in an Expert Web Hosting
  Provider
• In the sections above, we discussed how to decide
  between the different programs offered by a web
  hosting provider. The web hosting provider should
  at least provide the basic features we discussed
  above, namely trusted hosting, SSL certificate,
  personal domain etc.
• But that is not all. You should also focus on
  what kind of services and support your web
  hosting provider will offer you after you sign
  up for their hosting plan.
• Here are a few things to look for
• Really Unlimited Programs Some hosting providers
  advertise free space, storage, or bandwidth, but
  still include it at some level. You should
  carefully read their terms and find out, that
  the unlimited programs they offer are really
  unlimited.
• Expert Support Staff After hosting your website,
  you may face some technical issues. Your hosting
  provider should provide you with the best support
  in this regard. Their specialists should be able
  to quickly fix any capture problems you may have.
• High Quality Training Your hosting provider
  should provide high quality services to learn how
  to manage your hosted site. This is important,
  because you should not rely on support staff for
  all your problems.
• Additional Services Does your hosting provider
  offer regular support for your data, fixing your
  bugs and updating your server-side software? Make
  sure they do it, as you will save a lot of time
  on website maintenance.
• Reliability Your web hosting provider should
  ensure that your website is live online at all
  times. It should not crash or drop
  unnecessarily. Your web hosting provider should
  also take security measures against hackers and
  keep your website safe on their servers. More
  importantly, they should help you with any
  problems you have by providing you with the best
  customer support.
• And it's about it. Choosing a web hosting
  provider is not that difficult. All you have to
  do is make sure you understand your needs - and
  that your hosting provider understands them too!
