Today’s article will be hosting service-related. For those of you who are new to this topic, we will give you a short introduction to what even a hosting service is.
A #hosting service allows you to showcase your #website on the internet, so to have a website you need a place to host it. Click To TweetAn even simpler explanation of how web hosting works would be something along these lines. When you are first building a website, it is stored on the computer of the web designer. The next step involves uploading the website to a server, which is connected to the internet. Only then is your website visible to everyone. So web hosting is basically “renting” space on a server that belongs to a certain company.
Different Types of Hosting
There are many types of web hosting including shared hosting, cloud hosting, VPS (Virtual Private Servers) hosting, and dedicated server hosting. So let’s quickly go through them!
Shared hosting is the most popular type of hosting. Not only that, but it also the most basic and most affordable type (more customers share the overall cost). Simply said, shared hosting means that one server hosts more than one site. It is not often used by websites that have a lot of traffic, but by websites that are maybe just starting out. High-traffic websites rather use dedicated hosting or VPS hosting.
Cloud hosting differs from shared hosting due to the fact that it operates on multiple servers. Your site can be moved from one server to another, so if for example, one of the servers fails, your site can bounce to another server. It is mostly used by eCommerce and high-traffic sites. And when compared to shared hosting, cloud hosting is much more dynamic and often performs better.
VPS or Virtual Private Server is a server that is running on another server. Simply said, it is one physical machine that works like several separate servers. VPS is something between a shared and dedicated service, meaning that the hardware is used by other sites but you also have your own dedicated space, and your site is the only domain in it.
Dedicated hosting means renting an entire server from a provider, only for yourself. This is perfect for websites that have a lot of traffic. It is more on the pricier side, since you are paying for the whole server yourself, and not sharing the expenses with more people.
Every day there are more and more hosting services to choose from and many of them are overpriced. And although we can not tell you which hosting service to use, what we can tell you is that we know of an amazing one that we would like to present to you today. It is called HostArmada.
HostArmada overview
HostArmada is a relatively new hosting service launched in 2019. They offer customers domain services, shared hosting, cloud hosting, WordPress and WooCommerce hosting, and also dedicated server hosting.
They have servers all over the world in places like the US, Singapore, Australia, Canada, India, and Germany. And no matter if you are just starting your website or if your website is a high-traffic one, HostArmada guarantee good service at a reasonable price.
Speed
One of the reasons HostArmada stand out when compared to their competition is the fact that they offer high-speed hosting. Having a fast-loading website does not only mean waiting less time for a website to load but also better SEO ranking, more traffic, and eventually more conversions, which is the whole point of having a website, right?
Security
Another thing that they are really proud of is their security. HostArmada offer a sophisticated security system that prevents anything bad from affecting your website. They also offer a malware scanner that prevents malware from even reaching your website.
If any malware does slip through the scanner, HostArmada will restore your website from the most recent daily backup. A certain number of daily backups is provided in each of the hosting plans.
They also provide their users with fast patching, which entails patching up any kind of vulnerability once it gets reported, and user account isolation as well which means preventing users of shared hosting plans from interacting with each other.
Their security is divided into two components shown in the image below.
The first one being the Web Server Security Fleet, which represents tools responsible for identifying and stopping any kind of potential threats. And the second one being the Environment Security Fleet which deals with any kind of already-existing security threats inside of the servers.
With all that in mind, it is safe to say that you should not have to worry about your website being secure with HostArmada.
