Choosing a web hosting server plan for the client is said to be a tedious process. This is true as there are so many hosting servers with various benefits. A hosting server plan should be decided based on the functions it is destined to perform. There are several hosting servers from which the most applicable server can be selected. 

What Is Web Hosting?

A web hosting service lets clients host websites on the server. They also offer other features to create and maintain websites and make them available on the world wide web. Web hosts provide web hosting services. They are of two types: smaller hosting services and larger hosting services.  

• Smaller Hosting Services 

The most fundamental is web page and small-scale record hosting, wherein documents can be uploaded through File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or an internet interface. The files are normally added with minimum processing. Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) offer this to subscribers. People and groups can also acquire internet page hosting from alternative service providers.

• Larger Hosting Services 

Many large organizations need to be connected to the internet at all times. These companies will have a large number of emails and files being exchanged very often, so larger hosting services are suitable for such purposes. 

For starters here are a few web hosting server plans and the functions that they carry out. 

1. Linux Hosting With CPanel

CPanel hosting is supported on the Linux server. All blogs created on WordPress are supported by CPanel hosting. It consists of all the features that are needed to maintain and manage a website.
