Hosting Providers -Top 10 Hosting Providers and Domain Name Provider for Beginners

The name Hosting is very common in web development and if one does not pay attention to the types of hosting or hosting platform one uses then your website can be a mess. Hosting is simply the space a particular website occupies on the internet and your files are saved online and the larger the hosting plan the larger space you have to upload contents.

A domain name or hosting provider has authorized websites where one can pay an amount of money monthly, quarterly, or yearly to register their domain name or to purchase a hosting plan of their choice. There are numerous types of hosting that hosting providers can provide for you so ensure that you know the hosting plan that would fit your website before purchasing it.

TYPES OF HOSTING PLAN

Shared Hosting: Shared Hosting is the most common form of hosting plans and it is very affordable especially for those who are just new to web design or want to build a one-page website.

In Shared Hosting, different websites are allocated a specific portion of one server and the website with more traffic would occupy more space compared to others. Finally shared hosting can make the loading website of a website to be slow especially when the traffic is high.

VPS Hosting: VPS means Virtual Private Server and in this kind of hosting, users are allocated a specific portion on the server so no one can outdo the other and this is an upgraded version of Shared hosting.

Dedicated Hosting: In dedicated hosting a physical server is allocated to a single customer and this form of hosting is good for those who have around 10k visitors daily and have a large amount of content.

Cloud Hosting: In cloud hosting, all your documents are stored online and this is a modern-day hosting plan. Cloud hosting is very secure especially against physical attacks on servers so if you can afford it I would advise that you consider this type of hosting plan.
