Web hosting

Web hosting enables your website to be available on the internet. A web hosting provider offers a web server to store your website files. In simple terms, a hosting plan is necessary to get your site up and running smoothly.

Choosing a reliable hosting provider with the type of hosting you need is important for your website’s uptime and getting the support you need. Here are the top-picked hosting plans for both personal and business use:

• Shared web hosting. A single server hosts multiple websites, where each user is given a certain amount of storage space and resources. Shared hosting plans are usually cheaper than others, making them ideal for beginners and bloggers.
• WordPress hosting. Managed WordPress hosting works in a similar way to shared hosting. However, managed WordPress hosting provides better speed, performance, and optimisation capabilities for your WordPress website.
• VPS hosting. With it, a web hosting service that splits a physical server into multiple virtual machines, giving users dedicated resources and complete root access. Virtual private server (VPS) hosting plans are designed for tech-savvy users seeking enhanced power and control.
• Cloud hosting. With websites running on multiple virtual servers, the risk of downtime and hardware failure is significantly reduced – perfect for stable website uptime and performance. This makes it an ideal choice for freelance web developers catering to a diverse range of clients.

In addition, when looking for the best hosting provider for your needs, make sure your chosen one offers a website builder or supports your preferred content management system (CMS). This will make website creation a breeze.

At Hostinger, we offer a website builder, a 1-click WordPress installer, a 99.9% uptime guarantee, and high-speed hosting at unbeatable prices. Get started with web hosting and scale up to cloud plans for more power. When you're ready for a customised solution and full root access, choose VPS plans.

If you’re still uncertain about picking the best website hosting plan for your business, check out our tutorial on how to choose a web hosting plan to make an informed decision.

Purchasing a web hosting plan is easy – go to the pricing plans, choose one that fits your business best, and click the Add to Cart button.

After that, you will be directed to the checkout page to choose the subscription period. Even though monthly payments are available for our web hosting services, we recommend opting for longer plans as they provide greater value for your money.

After that, either create a new Hostinger account or log in to your existing one. Choose a payment method and enter your personal details. Finally, click on the Submit Secure Payment button to complete the registration process.

You will receive login details to access your hosting account when the payment process is finished. With your hosting account, you can organise multiple websites, domains, email accounts, databases, files, and many more.

When you order any hosting plan at Hostinger, except for Single, you'll get a free domain for one year or more.

If you already have a domain from another registrar, just direct it to the Hostinger nameservers. Having your hosting account and domain in one web hosting company simplifies website management and issue resolution.

A web hosting service allows you to store websites and makes them accessible on the internet. Meanwhile, a domain name is like the address of a website, hostinger.pk, for example. Both are vital components for constructing a fully operational website.

Web hosting services are crucial. They spare you from the hassle of turning your computer into a website server, which demands extensive technical knowledge and hefty maintenance expenses. Plus, domains make it easy for people to remember your site without relying on complicated IP addresses.
