What is web hosting and which plan do I need?

Web hosting is a server where your website files, database and emails live so visitors can open your site 24/7.

Which type is right for you

• Shared / cPanel hosting — best for blogs, business sites and small shops. Cheapest and easiest.
• Cloud hosting — more speed and resources, still with an easy panel.
• VPS (KVM) — your own virtual server with root access. Good for apps, bots, many sites.
• Dedicated server — a full machine only for you. Big projects and game networks.
• RDP — a Windows desktop you open from anywhere.

Quick tip

Start small. You can always upgrade later without losing data.
