Understanding Hosting Made Simple
Hosting can sound technical, but it’s really just your website’s home — where all your files, images and pages live so people can find you online. It’s super important to get right, but beyond that, you just need it to work reliably and without hassle.
1. What Exactly is Hosting?
Think of hosting as digital real estate. It’s where your website lives, loads and how your customers access it every day from their web browsers.
2. The 3 Types of Hosting You’ll Hear About
- Shared Hosting – The budget option. Your site sits on the same server as hundreds of others, so if one gets busy or hacked, yours can slow down or be at risk.
- VPS (Virtual Private Server) – A step up. You still share a server, but you get your own dedicated slice of it. Better speed, better security, and usually enough for most SMEs.
- Cloud Hosting (What We Use) – The modern solution. Instead of being tied to one physical server, your site runs on powerful Google Cloud technology. It’s fast, secure, and scales as your business grows.
👉 That’s why we use Elementor Pro Hosting on Google Cloud, it gives clients a secure, high-speed foundation backed by the same technology powering some of the world’s biggest websites.
3. The Non-Negotiables of Great Hosting
- Uptime Guarantee – Aim for 99.9% or better so your site is always live. (Elementor Hosting runs on Google Cloud and delivers a 99.9% uptime guarantee.)
- Speed / Performance – Servers with solid-state drives (SSD), global CDN and bandwidth that keep your site fast everywhere.
- Security – SSL included as standard, plus daily backups and firewalls to protect your business and customer data.
👉 That’s exactly why we use Elementor Pro Hosting — it covers all three pillars and lets you focus on running your business, not managing servers.
