Hosting is the place where all your data is stored.

Before choosing the plans you should consider following things

There are mainly 4 types of hosting:
Shared hosting: Many websites running in a single server or storage space. It is the cheapest hosting service as many websites running in a single server
VPS: It is a virtual private server. You can run your website on a virtual machine. It is faster and secure than shared hosting.
Dedicated Server: You buy dedicated servers for running your website.The ultimate control at your hand. It is faster than shared and VPS hosting one more is there that is cloud hosting
Cloud hosting: Your website will be hosted on cloud servers like amazon web service.It is super fast but as newbie it will difficult for you to manage a cloud server.
Don’t fall to cheaper unlimited hosting providers
Many websites provide hosting at a cheap rate but it will finally end in a great loss for you. Their offers seem to be eye-catchy but their services won’t.
