For those who design web or hear about website design for the first time. Hosting willservices is an indispensable thing for the website. Website needs hosting as a storage place to work. However, for many newbies, this concept is quite vague. That's why BKNS would like to tell you what you need to know about Hosting.

Hosting Services

What are Hosting Services?

Hosting Service, also known as web hosting, is an online service that helps you publish an application or website to the internet. You sign up for a hosting service, just like renting a place on a server. It will contain all the necessary files and data for you to run the website.

A server is a physical computer that runs without interruption so that your website can be up and running at all times for everyone to access. Your Web Hosting provider is responsible for keeping the server up and running, resisting malicious attacks, and transferring content (text, images, files) from the server to the user's browser.

What types of Hosting Services are there?

Almost all Hosting Service providers have a variety of hosting packages. But this package will be suitable for many customers. However, there will be some of the most popular types of Hosting today:

Shared Hosting

VPS Hosting

Cloud Hosting

WordPress Hosting

Dedicated Server Hosting

The bigger your website, the more hosting you need. However, when starting out, you probably only need a small hosting package. Maybe shared hosting for you. However, when your website gradually goes live and starts to get more traffic. At this point you will need to upgrade your Hosting package to a higher level.

Web hosts often provide many types of packages for each type of hosting. For example, at BKNS, our shared hosting packages have 8 different hosting packages.

Parameters to pay attention to when choosing Hosting Service.

I also used to take quite a while to learn and choose Hosting services package suitable for your WordPress Website. According to personal experience, I will share some criteria and factors to consider for selection below:

Storage capacity: Each Hosting package has a different capacity, also known as the Hosting capacity. You need to choose a package with a capacity that suits your needs.

Consider the number of Domains that you are added to Hosting.

Bandwidth: Total Down and Up File traffic in 1 month of Hosting.

HDD/SSD: Compared to HDD, Hosting using SSD hard drive has a higher cost, and will help the Web site have a higher access speed.

Uptime: Is the time Hosting continuously works. The higher the Uptime, the greater the Site traffic.

Server location: If the visitors are mainly in Vietnam, you should use Web Hosting in the country. Because Hosting in the country will have a higher speed than Hosting located abroad.

Consider the reasonable price of Hosting services package. Avoiding too low a price will not guarantee enough use. However, you should also not choose a plan with too high a price that wastes resources.
