FREE RESOURCE / HOSTING
Understand website hosting
before you launch.
A practical beginner's guide to website files, hosting, domains and the free options available when you are starting a business website.
THE BASICS
Three pieces make the picture clearer.
Website files are the actual pages, images and assets. Hosting stores those files and makes them available online. A domain gives visitors a memorable web address.
Free hosting can work for portfolios, experiments and early-stage projects. As your business grows, you may need stronger performance, support, backups, analytics or more control.
Before choosing a provider, check storage limits, custom-domain support, SSL, uptime, renewal pricing and how easy it is to move your website later.
