Regardless whether you\u2019re a multinational company or a local business, you\u2019ll need web hosting of some kind to publish your business website online and make it accessible on the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"1\"><b>What\u2019s Web Hosting?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In essence, the term \u201cweb host\u201d refers to a company that rents out its servers\u2014which are essentially computers that store your website and provide Internet connectivity so global users can access the files on your website every time they visit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More often than not, a web host does more than merely storing your website. They also offer a range of value-added services and features, some of which are the following:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b> Domain Registration<\/b> &#8211; A domain is the exclusive name of your website and often, you can buy a domain name (www.yourwebsite.com) from a web hosting provider.<\/li>\n<li><b> Website Building Tools <\/b>&#8211; They also often provide the tools you\u2019ll need to create a website (e.g. drag-and-drop web editing tools).<\/li>\n<li><b> Email Accounts<\/b> &#8211; Besides the domain name, the web host can also provide domain email accounts (e.g. yourname@yourwebsite.com)<\/li>\n<li><b> Basic Technical and CMS Support (e.g. WordPress) <\/b>&#8211; A content managing system (CMS) like WordPress is a convenient way to manage a website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2\"><b>Why Do You Need A Web Host?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>These features make web hosting the foundation for any successful website\u2014and while it\u2019s physically possible to host your site on your own server, doing so would tantamount to great costs and headaches.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hosting a website yourself requires investing on a server, which alone is already expensive\u2014not to mention the fact that it requires a constantly-running power supply, power backups, a static IP address, and regular hardware maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Because you\u2019re reading this blog, it\u2019s safe to assume that you lack the superior technical know-how needed to set up and maintain server hence, we strongly advise you to invest in a hosting service instead.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3\"><b>Most Recommended Hosts By Category\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Now that the reasons why you need a web host are established, we proceed to determine which host is ideal for you. Here, it\u2019s crucial to note that there are at least three main web hosting categories to choose from: shared, dedicated, and VPS hosting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the succeeding post, we\u2019ll breakdown these main hosting categories, along with some of the most recommended hosts in each.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b> Shared Hosting<\/b>: As the name suggests, shared hosting means housing your website on a server shared by other sites. It\u2019s the most affordable option to date making it practical for small business owners and personal sites. It typically offers a free domain name, and unlimited storage, bandwidth, and email accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4\"><b>Top Shared Hosting Providers:\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4 id=\"a2hosting\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.a2hosting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>1.
