Web Hosting as Dynamic as Your Business

Web hosting is using a certain hosting server to host a site and allow people all on the internet to access it. Different hosting packages are available, like dedicated server hosting, shared hosting, and VPS hosting. These hosting packages are designed to allow different types of websites to function, as the more people on your site, the more resources you need to host it.

At Hostinger, you can easily scale your hosting package as needed. This allows you to start with simple shared hosting plans before upgrading to more sophisticated and resource-rich options when your website needs it.

Most common types of hosting include:

Shared hosting: Shared web hosting puts different websites on the same server. Each website on the server gets a certain amount of resources and storage. This is a great option for casual websites and bloggers as it’s also the most cost-effective option.

VPS hosting: A virtual private server or VPS is in the tier above shared hosting plans. VPS hosting uses stronger hardware. This allows users to get more resources while still sharing a server with other websites. This is a bit more expensive than shared hosting, but it gives your site more versatility.

Cloud hosting: Cloud hosting can ensure 100% uptime for users. This is because a web host use interlinked services that take over from each other if one fails with cloud hosting. So, your website will constantly stay up and running, giving users the best experience possible.

Dedicated hosting: You have a single server completely dedicated to your website with a dedicated hosting service. This means you don’t have to share any resources with other users. Dedicated hosting is great for professional developers and web admins with popular sites.

At Hostinger, we prioritise providing users with a mix of cloud and shared web hosting plans. This ensures 100% uptime while also keeping the costs of the web hosting plan as low as possible.

Websites are a collection of files and databases that your website visitors get to see whenever they go to your site. Web hosts like Hostinger allocate a set amount of space for your website's files on a shared server to make them available on the internet.

Hostinger’s managed hosting plans come with login details you can use to access the admin panel of your account. This is called the hPanel where you can manage every aspect of your website. These include your domains, databases, files, and other things.

If you want to get your website on the internet and available for everyone in need, you need a web hosting plan.

You can put a website up without a web hosting provider. However, if you’re a beginner who’s new to the craft, this isn’t the most recommended option. If you’re willing to learn how to set up a computer to work as a hosting server, you can host a website. But unless you want to lose money and have your hairs turn grey, you’re better off with a web host like Hostinger doing the work for you.

One of the Hostinger web hosting plans highlights is the support team. We take pride in our customer success team as they are always ready to go the extra mile to please customers. They are there to make sure you find success in setting up your website, so don’t hesitate to give them a call if you run into problems. The second we hear from you, we will give our all to fix the problem and put you on the right path.

And we don’t just talk the talk. We have a customer success team with some of the industry's highest ratings, and our track record speaks to that. Whenever you have a problem, the team gets on it right away, and we won't stop until it’s solved.

A domain is the address of your website. Whenever you type a domain into your URL (e.g., www. Hostinger.com), the browser queries the name and determines where the website is hosted. Once it finds the host, the browser loads the contents of your website.

All websites on the internet consist of a domain and web host. You can view the hosting as the physical building of your website while the domain name is simply the address that allows people to find it.

With a VPS, you get a mix of shared hosting and a dedicated server. You don’t exactly get the best of both worlds, but it’s pretty close. With VPS, you can keep the website's costs down while also getting a bit more power than typical shared hosting. You can compare VPS hosting to living in a condo, while shared hosting is like living in an apartment complex. You still share the space, but you get a couple of extra benefits.

If you opt for a shared hosting plan, you share a server's resources with other websites. You still get a certain allocation of the resources, but you won’t be able to get the full power of web hosting plans. With a VPS, you share the hardware resources, but the software functions like dedicated servers to give you more speed and power.

If you’re a web admin, VPS is the ideal option for you as it gives you full administrative and customisation power without racking up the costs.

Yes – and we actively encourage it. If you’re using a popular content management system such as WordPress, we have tools available that make it easy and fast to switch between web host platforms. Even if you’re not using a typical CMS or simply need a little help along the way, our support team is at hand to guide you through the process, free of charge.

You can buy hosting without purchasing a domain. You can always purchase domains from another registrar and host them with Hostinger. But if you keep your domain name and hosting under the same provider, you get easier troubleshooting. If you wish to do this, Hostinger makes the process easier. All you have to do is contact our support crew and they’ll know what to do.

Yes, our web server hosting plans come with an hPanel.

Our hPanel is there to carry out essential hosting tasks, monitor your resources, and use tools to create email addresses and install management systems like WordPress. This is different from the website’s admin panel. Instead, this is like an admin panel for your entire server.

You can easily upgrade your hosting account if needed at Hostinger. We ensure that you won’t have any downtime when you do this. So, while upgrading from shared hosting to a VPS or dedicated plan, you can rest assured that your website will be up and running the whole time. This means you don’t have to worry about losing any revenue or customers because of a poor browsing experience.

You usually need WordPress hosting to put up a site created and managed through WordPress. WordPress is only a website builder and not a content management system. It also isn’t a platform for hosting your website files like Hostinger.

If you have a proper hosting plan, you can optimise your website and manage your content using the proper platforms.

You can use Hostinger’s nameservers to connect your domain name to the hosting as fast as possible. To do this, you need to replace your domain’s nameservers data. If you want an easier process, it’s best to do this through the Hostinger admin panel. Check this domain pointing guide about how to do it.

Yes, our hosting has a tool that you can use to install over a hundred apps on your website with one click. This auto-installer saves you time and makes it much easier to try different scripts for your site until you find the right one.

No, Hostinger is designed for beginners to use. Even if you’ve never hosted a website before, our secure web hosting plans allow you to handle simple tasks like setting up emails and installing content management systems with ease.

And even if the interface is simple, we still make it professional enough for experienced developers. We believe that you can make something that’s both powerful and user-friendly, which is why Hostinger’s services are so efficient.

If you have a hard time, there are many online walkthroughs to guide you through some of the more common tasks. On top of that, you can always talk to our customer support team if you need more help.
