Consider the following:
– **Website Traffic**: Higher traffic websites may require VPS or dedicated hosting.
– **Resource Needs**: Evaluate your need for storage, bandwidth, and CPU/RAM.
– **Technical Expertise**: Managed hosting is ideal if you lack technical skills.
– **Budget**: Shared hosting is more affordable, while dedicated hosting is pricier but offers better performance.

Uptime refers to the amount of time a server is operational and accessible. High uptime (99.9% or higher) is crucial as it ensures your website is always available to visitors.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection helps prevent malicious attacks that can overwhelm your server and disrupt service. Hosting providers offer DDoS protection to ensure continuous availability and performance.

A domain name is the address where users can access your website (e.g., www.example.com). Hosting is the service that stores your website’s files and makes them accessible via the internet. You need both a domain name and hosting to run a website.
