Your vision, our design

Web hosting is a service that makes your website available on the internet. When you get a hosting plan, you rent an online space from a web host like hostinger.com to store all of your website files. This will allow people to access your site using a web browser.

There are many types of hosting services available, such as shared hosting, WordPress hosting, and cloud hosting. The more popular a website is, the more resources it will need to function effectively.

The simplest way to start is to choose a shared plan and gradually upgrade to cloud hosting plans or even VPS when you need more power. The most common types of hosting include:

Shared hosting. Multiple websites are hosted on the shared server, and each user is allocated a certain amount of storage space and resources. Often, this is the most affordable option available, so it is an excellent option for beginners, hobbyists and bloggers.

VPS hosting. A virtual private server (VPS) setup generally uses more powerful hardware, making it possible for the web host to create a virtual partition for each user. It’s an excellent option for users with more advanced technical knowledge.

Cloud hosting. In this setup, websites run on multiple virtual servers – not just one physical server – reducing possible downtime and hardware failure. If you need access to more server power, this type of hosting service can be right for you.

Dedicated hosting. When you have a dedicated hosting plan, the server is dedicated to your website only – you don’t share storage space or resources with others. A dedicated server is usually recommended for professional web admins and developers.

Here at Hostinger, we aim to provide fast hosting with nearly 100% uptime at a truly unbeatable price.

Your website is a collection of files and (in most cases) databases shown to your visitors as they browse your site. Hostinger, like most web hosting providers, allocates storage space for your website’s files and databases on a server.

When you sign up for Hostinger's hosting services, you'll receive login details to access your hosting account's admin panel – the hPanel. In hPanel, you can manage everything related to your website, from hosting to domains, databases, files, etc.

You need a hosting plan to get your website up and running.

While publishing a website without external hosting is possible, it's not the best option for beginners because you need to know how to set up your computer to work as a web server. You'll save time and money by opting for Hostinger's website hosting services.

Web hosting and domain are essential elements for building a functional website. A domain name is essentially a website’s address, such as hostinger.com; hosting is a service that stores site files and makes them available on the internet.

Without domains, people would have to memorize IP addresses to visit websites. Then, without website hosting plans, you would have to set up your computer to act as a server.

A virtual private server (VPS) is a cross between a dedicated and a shared server. It’s not quite the best of both worlds, but it is a good compromise, especially if you want to keep your web hosting costs down while having more power.

Using shared plans, you share a server and its resources with other websites. With a VPS, you still share some resources, but it provides a virtual partition for each user, acting like multiple dedicated servers.

For web admins, using a VPS means they get administrative power, including the ability to customize the operating system to suit their needs.
