Hosting decides how fast, safe and scalable your site is. Here is a plain-English guide to the three main options.
Your hosting is the foundation of your website. Pick too small and the site is slow; pick too big and you overpay. Here is how the main options compare.
Shared hosting
Many websites share one server. It is the cheapest way to start and fine for small brochure sites. The downside is that a busy neighbour can slow you down, and you have limited control.
VPS (virtual private server)
You get a dedicated slice of a server with guaranteed resources and full control. It suits growing business sites, web apps and online shops, but someone needs to manage and secure it.
Cloud hosting
Platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, Azure or DigitalOcean let you add or remove capacity on demand and spread your app across several machines. It is ideal for traffic spikes and products that must stay online.
How to decide
- Under a few thousand visits a month: good shared or managed WordPress hosting.
- A growing site or a custom web app: a VPS or managed cloud server.
- Business-critical or fast-growing SaaS: cloud with backups, monitoring and a scaling plan.
Do not skip
- Automatic daily backups you have actually tested
- An SSL certificate and a firewall
- Uptime monitoring so you hear about problems first
- A server location close to your visitors
The bottom line
Start with what you need today and choose a provider that lets you upgrade easily. We can recommend, set up and manage hosting so you never have to think about it.
