Are you confused about choosing the right hosting provider for your website? Don’t worry this guide might help you in making a decision as you are going to see the list of top Web hosting services and how you can pick one for your website.
With the ease of use and big developer community, WordPress has been the most favorite Content Management System compared to others even for web developers. It powers more than 30% of the entire websites online. So kickstart your website on WordPress getting a domain name and shared hosting are the aspects where many people get stuck.
In this guide, we are gonna discuss Web Hosting services only. Choosing a Quality hosting service for your website development helps in providing a good website user experience and indirectly helps in rankings from the SEO perspective as well. But with too many hosting providers out there, you might be confused about selecting a good one for your website.
So let me share with you some of the most important factors that you need to check before buying hosting.
Important Factors To Check:
1. Flexibility to add an SSL certificate:
Having a Secured Sockets Layer(SSL) certificate installed on your website is an important factor as Google considers it a ranking signal. So make sure to have it installed as it can impact the position of your webpages in the search engine results pages.
Good web hosting service providers would allow you to easily add a Free SSL certificate to your websites that would be discussed later in this article. Remember it is not mandatory to buy an SSL certificate from the hosting providers, setting up a free SSL would be more than enough.
2. 24 x 7 Customer Support:
From the development stage to the fully functional stage of a website, your website might not work normally at any point in time. Different types of problems might occur like technical errors, malware issues, etc and you need to have good customer support to help you out in those difficult times. So the availability of 24 x 7 customer support is an important thing to check and get your problem resolved or fixed soon.
3. Server Location:
The loading speed of a website depends on the location of your web server. Suppose if your website is for people from United States then you need to buy the hosting from the provider whose servers are present in that location so that it would load fast compared to the speed when the servers are present in other countries.
Now you got to know about the factors that you need to check, let me share with you the list of top website hosting services in 2023.
