So you’re thinking about starting a website<\/a>. Great!<\/p>\n

Before you can create one, you need to set up “hosting.” The easiest way to explain the concept of a host is to think about it as storage space for your website’s files. Those files need to exist somewhere.\u00a0<\/strong>Hosting is the virtual file space you pay to rent!<\/p>\n

There are many different kinds and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.<\/p>\n

Choosing a Host<\/h2>\n

As you prepare to select the best web hosting service\u00a0<\/strong>to use for your new blog, you will soon realize that there are tons of service providers out there to choose from.<\/p>\n

In the beginning, it can be somewhat confusing to try to decide which host to pick. You don’t want to blindly choose one company, only to find yourself regretting it later…<\/p>\n

Each web host offers its own set of features, performance standards, ease of use, pricing, and hardware infrastructure. Many of these companies also offer unique discounts or savings too.<\/p>\n

I have been blogging on this website since 2013. While I started this specific blog in 2013, I’ve also built a handful of other blogs and websites dating as far back as 2006.<\/p>\n

In that span of time, I’ve done it all. I’ve built sites from scratch using plain HTML, I’ve used WordPress.org, I’ve used WordPress.com, I’ve been on Tumblr, Wix, Piczo, Freewebs, Blogger, LiveJournal, you name it.<\/p>\n

In the realm of self-hosted websites, I have personally used a number of different hosts over the years. This website alone has been on five<\/strong> different hosting plans over the years. I’ve built websites in different places. I’ve migrated websites. Having gone through quite a bit over the years, I would like to help teach you the best approach upfront to save you the trouble I went through.<\/p>\n
