What it means in plain language
Hosting is a service that provides server resources needed to store and operate a website, applications, databases and e-mail.
Where it genuinely helps
Hosting provides resources for a site or application and affects speed, resilience, security and room for growth.
What to decide before acting
Choose the service model for traffic, technology, data and administration responsibility rather than price alone.
How to tell whether it works
Measure uptime, response time, resource limits, backups, updates and the provider’s real support response.
