What is hosting?

Your site is a set of files that must live on a server permanently connected to the Internet. Hosting is renting that space. Without it, no site online. The quality of the host directly affects your site's speed, availability and security.

The main types of plans

  • Shared: several sites share a server. Affordable and enough for most brochure sites and small stores.
  • VPS / dedicated server: more resources and control, for high-traffic sites or specific needs.
  • Cloud: elastic resources that adapt to the load.

The criteria that matter

Beyond price, look at speed (fast servers, caching), availability (guaranteed uptime), security (HTTPS certificate included, backups) and support quality. Cheap but slow or unavailable hosting costs a lot in lost visitors.

HTTPS and backups: non-negotiable

A serious site runs on HTTPS (the padlock), which reassures visitors and is expected by Google. Regular backups protect you if something goes wrong. Check these are provided.

Stay the owner

Key point: the domain name and hosting must be in your name. You must be able to recover your site and move it if needed. At Skywebis, you always remain the owner of your site and your access — with no dependency.
