Every website you visit consists of various scripts and images. When you type a website address into your browser, your computer sends a request to a hosting server. The hosting server processes the request and sends back the result of the scripts’ work — usually in the form of HTML code, which your browser uses to display the layout, text, and images of the site. The server’s resources that are allocated to store these files and handle incoming requests are called hosting.
Hosting services are offered through different pricing plans. The choice of a plan depends on how many requests the server needs to handle and how many files (images, scripts, etc.) the website must store. It’s best to start with the smallest plan — it typically provides enough resources for most websites. You can always upgrade to a higher plan at any time in the hosting control panel.
Once you’ve selected a plan — let’s take the basic plan called “Fast” — the hardest part is choosing a domain name for your website. This is usually the first step when registering hosting. If you are not ready to choose a domain right away, you can skip it and select the option “I will specify the domain name later” during the order process.
