Updated guide for choosing a web host in 2025: check uptime SLAs, 24/7 support, storage/bandwidth, IMAP/webmail, deployment tools, runtime/database support, SSL, backups and CDN options.
Shared hosting lets many websites share one server and its resources. It's inexpensive and managed by the host, making it ideal for small sites - but it has limits on performance, control, and email reputation.
Streaming sends compressed audio or video in small segments so users can play content as it arrives. Modern streaming relies on HTML5 players, adaptive bitrate protocols (HLS/MPEG-DASH/WebRTC), and CDNs or cloud services to scale and handle varying network conditions.
Modern entry-level hosting bundles domain options, SSL, website builders, and growth paths. Compare pricing, support quality, and upgrade options before choosing.
Web hosting is the backbone of modern websites and online stores. Today's hosting delivers domains, HTTPS, scalable compute, CDNs, and integrations with payment services like PayPal and Stripe - making it easier and cheaper to run a fully online business without a physical storefront.
