I made a survey on the best web hosting companies across the world. After a long duration search on the net, I finally, got a list of web hosting companies. I checked the features and could decide the hosting company for my own.
What is a Domain Name?
Let’s understand the meaning of a domain name. A domain name is a website address what people type in the Internet Browser. People visit a website putting the website address in the URL bar. www.amazon.com, www.bluehost.com are examples of domain names. We can access this site by typing the address.
Actually, people use a domain name for identifying a network domain, and it represents an Internet Protocol (IP), basically a server computer of a hosting company.
What is Web Hosting?
It is one type of Internet service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the WWW. It allows them to upload, store and manage information in different formats.
A web host, or web hosting service provider, is a company which provides the technologies and services needed for the website or webpage to be viewed by the public on the Internet. Websites are hosted or stored, on special computers called web-servers. When Internet users like you want to view my website, you need to type my website address like, https://webofonlineresources.com into the browser. Then we will be connected to the web-server to view the webpages or blog posts through the browser.
If you are thinking to have a website or a blog of your own then, you should search for best web hosting companies to host your site or blog. You need to think of the name of our website or blog and get registred under any web hosting companies. Let’s see the top web hosting companies and compile our own list.
List of Web Hosting Companies
I have gone through Brad Smith’s (Editorial staff of HostingFacts.com) blogpost where he has presented a detailed study of more than 30 web hosting services. He made the survey of old and new hosting services including average uptime and load time during a period for 24 months (till February 2020).
I observed the list presented by Mr. Smith and checked other hosting services also. Finally I have got my own list as shown below:
- Bluehost
- DreamHost
- HostGator
- GoDaddy
- A2Hosting
- Hostinger
- GreenGeeks
- WP Engine
- SiteGround
- Namecheap
I have found Bluehost as my Webhosting company to register my domain which could fulfill my requirements.
I have landed on Bluehost to get registered my domain. Here’s is the homepage.
Bluehost has three different plans and when I clicked “Get Started”, I found Basic., Plus and Choice Plus. “Choice Plus” plan with same price of “Plus” plan provides more services. So, I decided to go with Choice Plus plan.
After deciding the plan, I searched for my domain and created one for me in Bluehost. I decided to choose three-year plan as it’s monthly charges found lower than one year and two year plans.
