Web hosting services FAQ

Web hosting services provide the technology and infrastructure needed to make websites accessible on the internet. They store your website’s files on servers and deliver them to users when they visit your domain. Depending on the hosting type, they may also offer tools for site management, email hosting, security, backups, and scalability.

The term hosting refers broadly to the service of storing and managing data or resources on a server that clients can access remotely. This can include application hosting, database hosting, and file hosting. 

Web hosting, on the other hand, is a specific type of hosting focused on making websites accessible via the internet. It involves storing website files (like HTML, CSS, images, and scripts) on a server and serving them to users when they enter a domain name in their browser.

So while all web hosting is hosting, not all hosting is web hosting. Liquid Web offers both.

A web host is a company that provides the server space and services needed to store and run websites online. We maintain the physical servers, manage uptime, and offer additional features like technical support, security, and domain registration. Essentially, a web host makes sure your website is available and accessible to users around the clock.

Web hosting costs vary widely depending on the type and features, ranging from as little as $5 per month for shared or VPS hosting to $100 or more for large virtual servers, dedicated servers, or managed services.

Specialized hosting—like Magento, enterprise, or HIPAA compliant hosting plans—may cost more due to enhanced performance, security, and compliance requirements. Many providers also offer discounts for long-term commitments or bundled services.

Start by identifying your needs—like traffic volume, performance requirements, and budget—then compare providers that specialize in those areas. Look for hosts with reliable uptime, fast server speeds, security protocols, and 24/7 customer support. Then check if they offer features like easy setup, security tools, and scalability.

Shared hosting is a type of web hosting where multiple websites share the same server and its resources, such as CPU, memory, and bandwidth. It’s an affordable option ideal for small websites or blogs with low to moderate traffic. While it’s cost-effective, performance and customization are limited compared to VPS or dedicated hosting.

Cloud-based web hosting uses a network of interconnected virtual servers to host websites, allowing for flexible resource allocation, scalability, and high availability. It’s a common solution for growing sites because it can handle traffic spikes more efficiently than shared hosting. However, costs can become unpredictable as usage increases, especially if traffic or resource demands fluctuate frequently.

Web hosting works by storing your website’s files—like HTML, images, and scripts—on a server that’s connected to the internet. When someone types your domain name into their browser, the server delivers those files to their device so they can view your site. Hosting providers manage the server hardware, software, and connectivity to keep your site online and accessible 24/7.

The easiest way to start a web hosting business is with reseller hosting. You purchase a reseller plan from a hosting provider that lets you create and manage multiple client accounts under your own brand.

You can set your own pricing, package features, and handle customer billing while the parent host maintains the server infrastructure and backend support. With the right tools—like a control panel and billing system—you can easily launch and scale your own hosting service.

A CDN (content delivery network) is a system of distributed servers that deliver website content to users based on their geographic location, improving load times and reducing latency. In web hosting, CDNs help speed up site performance, reduce server strain, and enhance reliability by caching and serving static content like images, scripts, and videos. They’re especially useful for websites with a global audience or high traffic volumes.
