Quick answers
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is a service that stores your website files on a server connected to the internet, so visitors can open your site at any time.
What is the difference between a domain and hosting?
A domain is your site address, like example.com. Hosting is the server space where the site lives. You need both, and they can be bought from different companies.
What is reseller hosting?
Reseller hosting lets you rent a pool of server resources and sell it to your own customers as hosting plans under your brand. The provider runs the servers.
Shared hosting or VPS: which should I choose?
Start with shared hosting for a blog, portfolio or small business site. Move to a VPS when you need guaranteed resources, custom software or you see slowdowns at busy hours.
