This is a question I get asked a lot when dealing with many business owners
, or clients that want to get up and running right away on the internet. Many people think that all you need to do to get your website online is buy a domain such as yourname.com and your ready to get started, however this isn't the case. You will need a domain but you will also need website hosting.
There are many types of hosting available but for someone looking to have a personal website, or even a site for a small website then shared hosting is the perfect solution. Shared hosting in simple terms is something that stores all your files on the internet and displays them when someone visits your site. A good hosting provider will be reliable and display your website every time a visitor finds your site; a bad hosting provider is one that hardly ever works and usually their very slow too.
If you're looking for shared hosting then I recommend you finding a reliable, affordable and fast web host, after all there's no point in having a website if it doesn't work or its too slow because simply your visitors will leave before they see what your website has to offer and this in turn will mean you will lose money and credibility in the online world.
So if you're looking to become a force to be reckoned with online, you will surely want to get a shared hosting plan that is as reliable as your own company.
