    I make WordPress tutorial blogs for non techies and if you're new here consider clicking on the subscribe button and make sure to hit that notification bell okay so we're gonna jump into this blog it's gonna be more presentation style like this so let's just go ahead and get started first I want you to know what to expect in this blog number one this blog is gonna help you choose the right hosting for you whether you just want one website multiple website e-commerce website online learning course website you're a web developer and you're hosting websites for clients that's what this video is for to help you choose the best web hosting package for you and for your needs now it's also going to be very helpful to identify what other types of hosting are out there and what you should be looking for when deciding what host is for you so you can know when it's time to change web hosting providers because we all start someplace but then we might need to make changes as time goes on and so I'm gonna help you identify those now you might be surprised but this video is not gonna be me making recommendations saying go to this host and get service there or this host that's not what this videos for this video is for explaining the different types of hosting that are out there so that you know what type of service to pursue for your needs okay and but if you are interested in recommendations my website that I have all those at is order new hosting .com

We're going to talk about in this blog different top tier companies that provide services reviews for those companies I've got it all right there and I've got something that I've recently added there and up time monitor page so most of these hosts I have a website on I'm doing real-time monitoring to see the up time every minute and to test the load time and I'm making this I'm paying for this and I'm making this available to whoever visits order new hosting comm they'll be able to view this page or you could just go to my website WP crafter and click on hosting both take you to the same exact place now surprisingly I don't think you should put all the weight in your decision based upon that uptime monitor page it is nice I've got it right here this is what it looks like and you can see the name of the company you can see their uptime over the past seven days but you shouldn't put all of your decision in what you see there because this is really just showing you the uptime for the one server that has my one website on that one service so a lot of these companies have thousands of servers that they're managing all this is going to show you is the uptime of one and it could be something related to a wordpress update or something along those lines that cause a little bit of downtime it is actually very normal obviously we all want 100% uptime that's the goal and the hosts want to provide that I'm just saying that one person's experience might not mirror someone else's and there's other things to consider and look for when choosing a web host but I did want to make this uptime monitor available for you and for the people that visit my web site so we have a big problem when it comes to hosting and it usually boils down to expectations right so we all want the Ferrari right we want the nice fast beautiful car or maybe if you're not a Ferrari person like me you might like a convertible luxurious Bentley and that's kind of what we all want that's what we're expecting but we don't all have the budget for that we might just have the budget for a Toyota now there's nothing wrong with Toyota's I've been driving Toyota's of for years but the experience I get with the Toyota versus the experience in a Ferrari are obviously going to be different the price tag is different the handling is different the interiors different every aspect of these two experiences are going to be different and that is a lot of how hosting is we want the Ferrari but we might only have the budget for the Toyota and that's okay but you just want to go in with the right expectations and that's why you can see one hosting package costs five dollars per month and one hosting package cost $500 per month there's this difference but there is something that you get that's different depending on what you pay just like whether you're buying a Toyota or a Ferrari I personally wouldn't want a Ferrari I prefer a Bentley but who are we kidding I'm probably never going to drive a Bentley anyways so I broken down to the four criteria that you should use when deciding and evaluating various hosts and I like to call this and I coined this term I didn't get it from anywhere else is the flores's of hosting okay so the first s is speed sode pending on the plan that you choose and the companies you want to be looking for how fast is your website going to load so that's the first one's speed the next one is support are you gonna get support not just my websites down can you help me but support like I don't know what happened to my WordPress password I can't login can you maybe fix that for me or I'm trying to update this plug-in it's not working if you can solved  this for me wordPress specific support okay so the different supports you get and I think support is actually one of the most important experiences that you want to evaluate when choosing a webhost as the support experience that you're going to get the level of help you're going to get and do they have a wordpress expertise next is security are the connote number one include a free ssl certificate that's a must nowadays there are some hosts that still don't do this a lot of security goes a lot further than that another site of security is are they taking proactive measures to prevent and block brute-force attacks on your website scanning for vulner abilities on your website things like that that is what I'm talking about when I'm referring to security also side note with that not all website hostings & this is a bigest pain point  for people is if you have an outdated plug-in on your website your website gets a vulnerability gets hacked into and now you've got all this junk on your website is your website host gonna clear that out for you and most web hosts actually don't but there are certain ones that you do pay more for that are more than happy to clean your website out for you and next comes specialty and what this is thus the web host provide any specific features for wordPress user & some specialty would be a staging area and what that means is instead of just updating your website and then later finding out there's a problem that you can login click a button one button and it'll create this separate instance of your website where you can go and things update plugins and see if it causes any problems this kind of staging area so that's a perfect example of a specialty another specialty is some form of caching and that's a speed optimization do they have some of these WordPress specific specialties some of the hosts will update your website for you they'll do all of these different things so that's one of the things you want to evaluate when choosing a web host for you so ok now we're gonna get it is 8 different types of categories of hosting some of these are closely related but you can easily break them down into eight different categories this is something else that I came up with when looking at all of the different types of hosting to organize it this way and the way that makes the most sense so you're gonna have your first type of hosting which is basic shared hosting this is a hosting which is a lot of us. will start out with our first website on I sure know that I did with basic shared hosting there isn't much by way to special feature in the WordPress users. most of them do not have specific WordPress related support so you're not going to them and asking them to reset your WordPress password and it's just your basic shared hosting and this is the most affordable type of hosting we all start here but eventually we try to move on beyond here next is two different types of managed WordPress hosting okay so some of them have something called cPanel and it's a control panel that allows you to install your websites it allows you to create email account to access the file system and do all kinds of stuff like that that you may want to do to make it easier to manage all of your different websites that you have so there's a cPanel based managed WordPress hosting you pay just a little bit more for this type of hosting but it tends to be a more stable and amore smooth experience plus because it's managed WordPress they're usually going  to have some way of updating your plug-ins and themes for you and some additional features like staging environments and stuff like that so that's going to be your cPanel now there's the custom managed WordPress hosting providers and what they've done is for optimal performance they have done away with this industry standard cPanel and have said created their own custom control panel now one of the things when it's a managed WordPress hosting that has their custom panel just about every single time they do not include email hosting so if you want to also have your web host have your email and I'll have a separate video on why you would or would not want to do that this category of managed WordPress hosting providers that's just not an option and it's simple you usually would just use Google Apps or some kind of third-party service for your email hosting but those usually gave him the most Phenomenal type of speeds & specialty out of all of the different web hosts for word press but they also have a different billing method usually and they charge you choose a plan and you get a certain amount of visits unique visitors to your website in a month if you go over that you might get bumped up to the next package or you might get charged some kind of a surcharge fee and so that's going to be typical when you have managed WordPress hosting with their custom control panel like I said if you visit order new hosting.com I have it all kind of broken down there the different companies that have these different types of services so it all makes sense now there's a new type of hosting that I've seen and there's only one or two hosting providers that have this type of service right now and it's  called managed WooCommerce hosting it's going to be a lot like managed WordPress hosting but the environment has been optimized for WooCommerce e commerceshops and they usually come included with some services that are outside of WordPress that make running ane-commerce shop that much easier that much smoother and that much more efficient and strategic like I said this is a newer type of hosting that you are not seeing everywhere just yet it might catch on who knows but it's something that is going around right now next you would have reseller hosting so what reseller hosting typically is it's just like basic shared hosting but it allows you to create these separate containers of web hosting accounts that you can use for individual clients so obviously you can have any type of hosting plan that allows you to have more than one web website hosted on it and you could put a client's website on it but the only thing is if you have your personal website and your clients website you're not going to want to give your client an actual login because now they can access your stuff so that's what reseller hosting is for so typically you find this with cPanel based hosting and what it does is it allows you to create unique individual cPanel account so you can have all of your clients websites and email accounts separate from each other and it allows you to create these cPanel accounts you pay one fee and you get a certain amount of resources and then you would just allocate them to each one of your clients this is great if you're a web agency and you want to keep all your clients separate but like I said you can turn any web hosting account into are seller account really as long as your client doesn't need to actually log into the account in order to manage or maintain anything not only that but they won't ask you for the login that's going to be uncomfortable if you do have them on your hosting account and then they ask for the login and you're like sorry you're not getting this next is cloud hosting and cloud hosting has been going on for a while now cloud hosting is not for the faint at heart it's literally just imagine a Linux server everything has to be done with the terminal command line typing in commands and there's no control panel there's no support there's none of that available to you now in this instance I'll mention a few names of companies there's digital oce anthere's Linode there is vulture you're literally just buying this dedicated container of resources there's no control panel or anything to manage it and if you have a problem you are completely 100% on your own it's not for most people but if you would consider yourself a Linux system administrator or know enough to get by on the command line terminal SSH and all of that guys you know I can actually do that and I've had my own cloud hosting before and I could do it just fine but it gave mean xiety because I knew I knew enough to get my website going but I didn't know enough to solve problems if those problems came up so even me even though I have the ability to have a cloud hosting I chose not to now cloud hosting is gonna get you the best performance at the lowest the price it is insane what you could do with cloud hosting but thank goodness there's something called managed cloud hosting and there this is a new category as well so essentially what they're doing is they're taking those cloud hosting servers and they you would instead order it through the managed cloud hosting provider and they will provide you a control panel to make it really easy to install WordPress and they're also going to provide some  of them also provide support so you can ask for help if there's a problem with your server problem with your website anything like that you get the help but the only thing is you're paying almost double twice the cost of just going and getting that cloud server yourself I will say that I have used there's a really the big dog is cloud ways they're the main company that are pioneering this managed cloud hosting type of hosting and I've used them below before and they are fantastic

I have a full tutorial and review coming out on cloud weighs the pros and cons of cloud ways but that's not what this video is about okay then you have VPS is Virtual Private servers and this is actually going to be very similar to what you would get with the cloud hosting except think of cloud hosting but with a cPanel control panel that you can have to make it easy to add email accounts and have multiple websites and all of that but you're getting some dedicated resources and you're paying more for it obviously and you can also use a VPS most of the time if it comes with something called WH M it allows you to create those separate cPanel accounts if you wanted to also use it for reselling now most VPS services that does come with support so you can go and ask for help if you run into any trouble and lastly we've already made it through seven the last one it's just a dedicated server so you go to the hosting company and they have full dedicated servers so the entire machine 100% of its resources are for you now you can get these with the operating system on it or it could just be Linux you can terminal and SSH nor they can have cPanel or whm on and then you can use that just like you would use the virtual private server except you have more resources and those resources are dedicated to you so this is going to be your dedicated server so most of us actually are going to end up starting using basic shared hosting and then move up to manage WordPress hosting and then there's that decision of going with the ones with cPanel or at one they have their custom controls panel but you have that kind of a metered experience where you might have to pay more depending on how many people actually visited your website that particular month and then you might move up from thereon to manage cloud hosting and I have managed cloud hosting right now because I need tip top peak performance and I like having the dedicated resources okso what is next so I just listed out eight different categories of hosting so what's next is I have a dedicated video on each of these types of hosting coming and I will link them in the blog down below so if you've watched this blog and you say hmm I'm most interested in managed WordPress hosting that has the highest performance and that's going to be the one with out cPanel and with a custom control panel and so I have a dedicated video on that where I'm gonna go over some of the various companies and their pros and cons of each of those companies to help  you choose one that is perfect for you expect those eight videos linked in the video description box down below andt hen from those videos there will be an individual review of the individual hosting companies and kind of a video to show you around the service to make it that much easier to start using the service and using it to its fullest a lot of these web hosting services it's hard to review from a longevity stand point but I can certainly use the service and understand the control panel do a review of that or review of the sport support a review of the speed at that moment a review of the specel te at that moment and i can do all of that so that's what those particular videos are gonna be like I said if you visit order new hosting.com I've got the uptime monitor right there and I've got links to these individual reviews right there as well just to make it as easy as possible for you to choose the right webhosting service for you don't have to just make the choice that someone is suggesting to you I really want you to understand the different types of hosting so you can choose the right one that meets your needs today tomorrow or might be the next type of leveling up which is a good thing right so you know when your website is doing good getting good traffic you might want to level up and get higher performance so that's it for me in this video I want to know what you think in the comment section down below any specific questions you have about web hosting I'm glad I stuck to my rule of no recommendations in this video
