Web hosting
The service of keeping and running a website's files, database and application on servers permanently connected to the internet.
- 01
Why it matters
Hosting directly affects a site's speed, availability and security. Shared hosting is cheap but resources are shared with others; virtual servers and cloud offer more control and scalability. Backup, updates and support scope are as important as price.

Example
A shop that slows down on campaign days moves from shared hosting to cloud hosting whose resources grow automatically under load, and stays fast on busy days.

Common mistake
Choosing hosting on price alone and leaving backups to the provider. If the provider has a problem, the data may be unreachable; an independent backup should be kept too.
