Web Hosts | A In-depth Guide
What is a Web Host?
A web host is an internet hosting service that makes a website accessible to the World Wide Web. Web hosts run off of servers that provide space and bandwidth. Usually the more you pay the better you benefit from it. When looking for web hosts you must always have the key necessities in mind: Bandwidth limit, disk storage, the speed, and software your web host provides.Web Hosts | A In-depth Guide
What is a Web Host?
Bandwidth
Bandwidth is an important feature on web hosts. Generally the more bandwidth you need/want for your website the web host cost will go up.
Disk Storage
Disk storage is pretty self explanatory. Disk storage is how much your site is in total size. Anything you upload to your website is in total size [GB, MB, KB]. Generally when purchasing a web host the disk storage is not that big of a deal as it usually is at a reasonable amount. Although it may not be a big deal, there are certain situations where it is important. If you are trying to manage a "video website" or "image website" the disk storage could grow to become an issue. Usually this is nothing major in a image website but video websites can become expensive fast.
Speed
Speed is an important feature. A slow site can and will become a burden. So before purchasing a web host I recommend looking up reviews on the web host.
For the best web host reviews I will recommend:
