Web hosting
Although web hosting is very common in today’s digital society, it still happens that people do not know what it actually is or why it is even needed. Put simply, web hosting lets you take a website with your own domain into use and create email addresses under your own name. If you want to build a website for your company, register a domain, set up email addresses and so on, the most sensible way is to solve it through a web hosting service. It is also common for hosting providers to offer tools for building the website yourself, with the hosting naturally included.
Web hosting is especially useful when you lack the professional skills or training yourself. The specialists who work with these web solutions can tell you best and most precisely which hosting you actually need. Hosting your website this way helps you become more visible to others online.
Several aspects of web hosting matter:
- Security: it is important to choose a provider whose servers are reliable and protected against hackers. That way you can be confident that unpleasant outages, or outsiders accessing your website’s data, are avoided. When you entrust your website to a provider, make sure they can offer top-quality security.
- Speed: today’s web user is impatient and wants to get everywhere right now, so your website must open fast. It is quite clear that if opening takes more than a couple of seconds, the visitor rather leaves than waits for the page to finally load.
- Customer service: a client who buys web hosting must be happy with the service in other respects as well. If the client has a problem, they must be able to turn to customer support immediately and get solutions.
What are you paying for?
One of the most common question marks around web hosting is the price. Very many business owners and private individuals do not actually know what they are paying for. Many hosting providers let the client choose between different packages. For example, one of the most popular hosting providers in Estonia is veebimajutus.ee, which offers a range of packages from the most affordable to the most premium.
One thing you pay for is the domain. Why is it useful to have an email address ending with your own domain? One of the main reasons is that it leaves a more professional impression of the company. In that case, one option is to choose a package that lets your company, or you as a private person, use addresses with your own domain name, in the style of firstname@companyname.eu or firstname@familyname.ee. When ordering email hosting from veebimajutus.ee, you can for example set an automatic holiday notice on your email, and you do not have to worry about virus and spam protection: it is already taken care of.
On the other hand, you pay for the hosting itself. Hosting packages generally include the possibility of domain-based email addresses anyway. So for business owners and private individuals who need both website hosting and a domain, these packages are the best. You can host company email addresses, a website, an online shop or even a blog.
