As some might not be available with the very provider you come across, figuring out the type early on might help you narrow down your choices. <strong>Here are the choices you\u2019ll have<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">Shared Hosting<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]With shared hosting, your website is just one of the many websites hosted on a single server. <strong>Because you share a certain amount of resources such as space and bandwidth with your neighbors, you get the privilege of having your website hosted for dirt cheap, usually<\/strong>. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>The cracks begin to show when either you or your neighbors start requiring more resources<\/strong>. Because you\u2019re all drawing on a limited pool, someone\u2019s going to end up with less than they need. <strong>And let\u2019s not mention the issues that might arise if one of the websites on the server catches a nasty bug<\/strong>. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Still, because of its affordability, shared hosting is a popular option. <strong>If you have a small business website or a personal blog, shared hosting might be completely adequate<\/strong>. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">VPS Hosting<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]VPS \u2013 Virtual Private Server \u2013 hosting is a more advanced option that\u2019s perfect for mid-tier websites. <strong>With it, your website doesn\u2019t get a physical server of its own, but it gets a virtual server that has the potential to scale like nothing else<\/strong>. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>VPS hosting is great for websites that plan to see a significant increase in resources<\/strong>. It\u2019s the option for the ambitious website owner who means business, but also knows a thing or two about tech. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>The downside is that this option isn\u2019t as affordable as using shared hosting<\/strong>. But it is much, much better in every other way that counts for a more demanding website.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">Dedicated Hosting<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]You get the whole thing with dedicated hosting \u2013 <strong>a full server with all its resources, all of your own, ready for you to use it for any need you see fit<\/strong>. That\u2019s right, no more sharing for you with dedicated hosting. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>It\u2019s not all gravy with dedicated hosting<\/strong>, as it has a flaw that puts it out of the reach of many bloggers and small-to-medium website owners. <strong>Dedicated hosting is awfully expensive<\/strong>. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Because of its features, it works out perfectly for the biggest websites that need the most stable presence even with high traffic, and don\u2019t mind paying for it. <strong>If that doesn\u2019t describe your website, well, maybe dedicated hosting isn\u2019t for you<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;68px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\"><a id=\"types-of-hosting\"><\/a>What Is Managed WordPress Hosting?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This is the best option for the website owner who doesn\u2019t know a whole lot about the technical WordPress stuff and just wants to get along and create a nice website. <strong>With managed WordPress hosting, you just do you and let the hosting provider take care of everything related to the hosting<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Here\u2019s an example. With managed hosting, you\u2019ll typically get some sort of help with WordPress installation, probably through a one-click installer. <strong>If you\u2019re transferring a WordPress website, you might have access to proprietary plugins that take care of it<\/strong>. Your host will take care of your website\u2019s security and come up with solutions that will optimize your website\u2019s performance. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]They might also take care of backing up your website, as well as updating WordPress. <strong>You could also ask them for on-demand backups and to provide you with a staging area to play around<\/strong>. Finally, a managed solution is likely to give you access to expert support staff, people who know the ins and outs of WordPress. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>This type of hosting comes at a price, however<\/strong>. So if it fits your budget and you don\u2019t want to have many dealings with the everyday running of the website, managed hosting is just the thing for you.

Other factors you should look for are the following.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">Website Uptime<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A great thing about having a website is that you have something that\u2019s always working. <strong>Or, at the very least, is working most of the time \u2013 no website is up all the time<\/strong>. That\u2019s why we have <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wordpress-uptime-monitoring\/\">server uptime monitoring<\/a>, to tell us how much time our website has spent down.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Web hosts will guarantee a certain amount of uptime. <strong>The industry standard is 99.9% of the time, and you shouldn\u2019t accept anything less<\/strong>. You should also be careful with accepting something significantly more \u2013 adding a nine to the fraction is possible but claiming 100% uptime is a red flag.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">Performance<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Because performance will be affected by the type of hosting you choose, <strong>it might seem like it\u2019s difficult to differentiate between good and bad performance for the same level of service<\/strong>. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Some hosting providers\u2019 servers will behave differently even under a light load. Make sure that you choose a hosting provider that\u2019s not notorious for offering too little, especially for the cheaper types of hosting. <strong>You shouldn\u2019t expect a shared-hosting website to be lightning-fast, but you shouldn\u2019t lose visitors for its slowness, either<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">Support<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Whatever you\u2019re doing, <strong>make sure that the people whose job is to help you when something goes awry know what they\u2019re doing<\/strong> and have the patience they\u2019ll need when dealing with you.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Because you\u2019ll be using WordPress, you want the support staff of your WordPress host to be well versed in, well, WordPress. <strong>A hosting provider that tries to attract WordPress users \u2013 has ads or landing pages that mention WordPress, for example, should know their way around WordPress<\/strong>. If they just so manage to have content about WordPress in the help section, even better.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">Offering and Scalability<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]As your website grows and attracts visitors, it will need more resources to keep running well. <strong>And even if you don\u2019t see this coming for a while, you should still prepare for it \u2013 otherwise, you\u2019d have to think about switching hosts<\/strong>. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>Make sure you choose a host that offers plans that give you some headroom to make changes<\/strong>. You should be able to upgrade your plan as your needs increase, or downgrade as they decrease. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">Security<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]You probably know that the internet is very far from being a safe and secure place. Your website can easily become a target of an attack, and if it does, <strong>you\u2019ll wish your host has done something to improve your website\u2019s security<\/strong>. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Some of the things hosts can offer in terms of safety and security include <strong>firewalls, support for encrypted connections, two-factor authentication, IP blocking, and different kinds of active and passive security systems. DDoS protection, malware protection<\/strong>, and so on. Your host should offer as many of these features as possible. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">Pricing<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Different hosts will have different packages at different price points. You should shop around and look for the host that offers what you need at a price you can afford. <strong>Keep in mind, however, that you usually get what you paid for, which means that the more expensive options might come with significant benefits<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]One thing you might want to avoid is free hosting. <strong>Even though some providers that offer free hosting can be a good choice for you, anything you get for free either comes with conditions or with a significant cap on resources<\/strong>. So if you want to dabble in making a website, it\u2019s okay to use free hosting. If you want to have a website that you\u2019ll want to keep, maybe look for a better option.

And it\u2019s important that you do because that\u2019s how you\u2019ll get wind of the provider\u2019s reputation.
