What is web hosting and which type do I need?

Web hosting is the service that stores your website's files and serves them to visitors. Shared hosting is the cheapest, where many sites share a server — fine for small or brochure sites. WordPress hosting is shared/cloud hosting tuned for WordPress. Cloud/business hosting offers more performance and reliability for busier sites and stores. When you outgrow these, a VPS or dedicated server gives dedicated resources. We help you pick the right tier for now, with a clear upgrade path.
