Why Do I Need Website Hosting Services?
Here’s the tie between websites and hosting services. Once a website is created, it needs to have an official home on the internet. The companies that provide these homes are called “website hosting services”.
The physical buildings that contain hosting services are called “data centers” and contain many computers called “servers”. They allow you to lease a small piece of these servers to store their websites and their information.
These data centers are entrusted to keep your website access working flawlessly for your visitors every second of every day. Therefore, they typically have safeguards in place to avoid website service interruptions. Some of these safeguards include:
- Backup power systems
- Redundant communication equipment
- Fire prevention and suppression systems
- Flood prevention and mitigation systems
- Rigorous security precautions

Do I Need an SSL Certificate?
As part of your hosting services you can choose to have an SSL Certificate. This small piece of code in your website ensures that your transferred information is safe and secure when either your visitor enters it from their computer or phone, or your website sends sensitive information to them.
The easiest way to see if a website you are using has an SSL Certificate is to type in the website’s name. There will be several characters that are added to the beginning of the website.
- If the website name starts with https:// then your information is secure.
- If the website name starts with http:// then be careful about providing confidential information on this site – someone may be able to steal it.
How Much Does Website Hosting Cost?
We start at $20/mo.
Most website owners like yourself are concerned about adding additional costs related to their website. Unfortunately, hosting services are a must for visitors to find and browse your awesome site. Deciding which service to use can be confusing, and shouldn’t be done simply by looking for the lowest monthly rate.
Before deciding on where to host your website, consider the following questions:
- Customer Service. If you have questions about your site and want to talk with someone, would you prefer to talk to someone local who answers their phone and knows your website, or someone sitting thousands of miles away that considers you just one of a bazillion website owners that want information?
- Storage. How large is your website now and what is planned in the future? Your website developer can tell you relevant statistics like number of pages, video/image sizes, blog estimates, extra code, etc. This info will help you plan for the amount of storage (i.e. 1 gig, 5 gigs).
- Bandwidth. How fast does your website’s response time need to be? Are there videos? Large images?
- FTP accounts. FTP is a type of computer (“server”) and also the way the server sends/receives information between other computers on the internet. You might want more than one account if you need additional website security or if you transfer a large amount of information to/from your website.
- MySQL Databases. Your website stores information in structures called “tables”. Tables that logically point to one another are stored together as “databases”. MySQL is a system that manages a database’s information. If you have a large amount of information to store on your website or are concerned about the speed of your site, you may need to have multiple databases.
- What is the cost to you and your business if your website has hosting issues that need immediate troubleshooting and fixing and you can’t get a hold of anyone?
