Hosting and Security
What is Web Hosting?
Also called: hosting
Web hosting is the service that stores your website's files and delivers them to visitors. The quality of your host affects speed, security and uptime.
Web hosting is renting space on servers that are connected to the internet around the clock, so people can visit your site at any time. When someone types your address, the host sends the pages, images and data to their browser.
Hosts differ a lot. Basic shared plans put your site on a server with many others, which can be slow and less secure. Dedicated, cloud and managed options offer more speed, isolation and support. The right choice depends on your traffic and how critical the site is.
Your host influences speed, security, backups and how quickly problems get fixed. Cheap hosting often costs more in lost business. Make sure you own your account and know where your site lives. We provide hosting with monitoring, backups and security built in.
Example
When a customer opens your site on their phone, your host's server sends the page and images to them in a fraction of a second.
