Before you learn which web hosting to choose for your needs, we should define how websites become available on the Internet.<\/p>

\u00a0Websites are hosted and stored on the Internet on special computers called servers. Servers are physical computers that work non-stop and provide users with 24\/7 access to all the websites they house.<\/p>

These servers are owned by companies called hosting providers. Each hosting provider has many such servers in its arsenal.<\/p>

The hosting provider is responsible for maintaining the continuous operation of each server, protecting them from malicious attacks, and guarantees the proper and fast transfer of content (text, images, files) from the server to users’ browsers.<\/p>

Web hosting is an online service provided by a hosting provider that allows you to host a website on their server, essentially connecting it to the Internet. You rent space on the server where you can store all the files of your site and the data necessary for its proper running. In addition to space, the hosting provider also provides you with the technology and services you need for users to see your website on the Internet.<\/p>

The user interacts with the hosting provider’s server like this:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Users connect to the Internet via their PC or mobile phone. When a client wants to access a web page, a copy of the page is downloaded from the hosting provider’s server to their PC or mobile phone and displayed in their device’s browser.<\/p>

This means that if you want users to see your website and its content, perform the target action, write reviews and comments, invite their friends to check the site out, you need to put it on the Internet.<\/p>

So how do you host a website?<\/strong><\/h5>

To host your site on the Internet, you require a web hosting service. First, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the types of hostings out there.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1. Shared virtual hosting<\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Shared hosting is a great and affordable solution for most small websites that don’t yet get a lot of traffic. This type of web hosting is also a good choice for young projects.<\/p>

You use hosting services in conjunction with other individuals and companies, the number of which can be in the thousands. Websites are hosted on a single server that is connected to the Internet. Server resources, such as computing power, memory, disk space and others, are evenly distributed between clients, and the cost of server maintenance is also divided between them.<\/p>

To better understand shared hosting, imagine a college dormitory with multiple floors and rooms on each one. Let’s say that the campus is a server. Using shared hosting is like owning a room on one of the dormitory’s floors, with the remaining rooms being occupied by other students.<\/p>

When to choose shared hosting? They are perfect for small projects. But keep in mind that once your website or that of your hosting neighbor scales, the server’s productivity may drop as a result. As your project develops and you start attracting more traffic, this option will no longer suffice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
