Hosting packages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What hosting packages does a web host offer? Knowing this will help you choose a company since upgrading your plan is easier than migrating to a new host.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a rundown of the most common web hosting packages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shared hosting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Every web host should have a shared hosting solution for websites in their early stages. That\u2019s the solution I\u2019d recommend you start with while you\u2019re still not getting any traffic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a shared hosting plan, you essentially share server resources with a number of different sites. The downside is, your website\u2019s performance may be affected if another site hogs all the resources in the shared server.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the low price tag, shared hosting plans are a good entry point for freshly-made blogs. However, you may get subpar website performance once you start getting thousands of web traffic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VPS or Virtual Private Server hosting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like shared hosting, a VPS hosting plan will have you share server resources with other websites. The main difference is, VPS hosting dedicates an allocation of resources, like RAM and CPU power, to your site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This means your website is always guaranteed fair utilization of resources whenever you need it.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VPS hosting plans also allow for more control over your server\u2019s administration. If you want, you can be in charge of security patches, bug fixes, and server monitoring as well as maintenance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Managed WordPress hosting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To make things clear, a managed WordPress hosting can be run on either a shared or VPS system. Despite that, rest assured that your WordPress website is as secure and fast as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a managed WordPress plan, the host takes care of the technical side of things. This includes WordPress installation, updates, backups, and security.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another advantage of managed WordPress hosting is the specialized customer service. If you have questions about running your WordPress website, your host\u2019s customer support team should have all the answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some hosting companies also offer managed WordPress hosting on dedicated servers, but most bloggers won\u2019t find it cost-effective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dedicated hosting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, a dedicated hosting plan grants you exclusive rights to an entire server.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This should meet all the demands of big websites with tons of data, like eCommerce websites. You also get full control over your server\u2019s configuration, maintenance, and storage space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the expensiveness of dedicated hosting services, I wouldn\u2019t recommend it to new bloggers. Even established blogs with thousands of traffic may not be able to take full advantage of a dedicated host.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cloud hosting&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In simple terms, \u201ccloud hosting\u201d enables the on-demand utilization of resources from multiple servers. This ensures maximum uptime, performance, and the guarantee that you\u2019ll always have the hardware firepower to support your website\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all web hosting companies offer cloud hosting, though. If they do, expect it to cost significantly more than regular shared or VPS hosting plans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Price.png\" alt=\"Price\" class=\"wp-image-4046847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Price.png 1000w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Price-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Price-768x230.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every web hosting company should have different prices for different hosting packages. However, different companies could have different prices for the same type of hosting services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Don\u2019t worry \u2014 we\u2019ll put this factor into consideration when looking at the hosting companies on this list.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just remember that, in terms of pricing, lower doesn\u2019t always mean better. You should also factor in the value you\u2019ll get from every dollar you spend on your hosting plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Customer-Service.png\" alt=\"Customer Service\" class=\"wp-image-4046848\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Customer-Service.png 1000w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Customer-Service-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Customer-Service-768x230.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Customer service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing: once you purchase a hosting plan, its reliability and performance heavily depend on the hosting service provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>With a bad host, you can do nothing for a week and your server may still experience downtimes and slowdowns. But with a competent one, you can mess around your website and it can still run as smoothly as ever.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>That\u2019s why excellent customer service is a must-have for web hosting companies.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Great customer service should keep you in the know about what goes on behind the scenes. And whenever your website runs into issues, they should be able to assist and educate you at the same time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It\u2019s all about the level of communication they\u2019re willing to have with their customers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Uptime.png\" alt=\"Uptime\" class=\"wp-image-4046849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Uptime.png 1000w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Uptime-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Uptime-768x230.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Uptime&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUptime\u201d pertains to the time your website is accessible over a specific period.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During times your website is inaccessible, those are called \u201cdowntimes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want your blog to be successful, you want to minimize downtimes as much as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Not only do downtimes translate to lost profits, they\u2019re also bad for SEO, especially if they occur often.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a perfect world, you could go for a web hosting company that can guarantee a 100% uptime. Unfortunately, even the very best hosting companies can only achieve up to 99.99% uptime in any given year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/User-Friendliness.png\" alt=\"User Friendliness\" class=\"wp-image-4046850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/User-Friendliness.png 1000w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/User-Friendliness-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/User-Friendliness-768x230.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

Some also offer custom plugins that can help with certain tasks like performance optimization and site migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Found the right web hosting company for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you didn\u2019t choose SiteGround, I\u2019m sure you made the right decision.
