Why Performance is important?

What is Hosting!?
Hosting a website means making a website
available to public worldwide. To make your
website available on the internet , you have to
store it on a computer called a web server.

WordPress Hosting Requirements
• PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
• MySQL version 5.0.15 or greater or any version of MariaDB

WordPress Hosting Options
Why do we have options?
• Bandwidth: it identifies the amount of data that the website
can transfer over a period of time. More bandwidth means
more visitors having a smooth browsing experience
• Uptime: means the percentage of time that the hosting
server stays up or running.
• Customer Service: When you encounter any technical issue
you would want someone to help, right?
• Disk space: the amount of storage space available for your
website files, text, images, videos, etc..
• Wordpress support?

WordPress Hosting Options
Free Hosting
• In most cases, these are managed by an individual who is
reselling a small part of his server space to cover up some
revenue. Often the catch is that you have to put their
banner ads on the site.
• The biggest downside of having a free host aside from the
ads is that they are unreliable. You never know when this
person will stop offering the free service.
• This Can be used for educational purposes.

WordPress Hosting Options
Shared Hosting
• Shared hosting is by far the most popular type of WordPress
hosting used by beginners.
• Shared hosting is where you share a large server with a lot of
sites.
• The major downside of it is that you still don’t have unlimited
resources.
• It is the best solution for small businesses, and starting
bloggers

WordPress Hosting Options
VPS
• It is a method of partitioning a physical server computer into
multiple servers with respects to the individual customer's
need.
• This gives you almost as much control as a dedicated server. It
also has the privacy of a separate physical computer and can
be configured to run specific server softwares.
• It is is best for medium-sized businesses, high traffic blogs, and
aspiring designers/developers.

Dedicated Servers
• It is a physical server that you can lease from the hosting
provider.
• This allows you to have full control over the server including
the choice of operating system, hardware etc.
• Once your site is receiving a significant amount of traffic, only
then you should consider upgrading to a dedicated server.
• It is used by extremely high traffic websites.
