How to choose web hosting

The right host makes your site fast and stress-free. Here is how to choose.

A video walkthrough for this guide is coming soon.

1. Identify your site type. WordPress, an online store or a simple portfolio have different needs.
2. Estimate your traffic. Choose a plan that comfortably fits expected visitors.
3. Managed or unmanaged. Managed hosting handles updates and security for you.
4. Check speed, support and backups. These matter more than a cheap headline price.
5. Watch renewal pricing. Cheap intro rates often jump at renewal.
