Web hosting platforms provide data storage that allows websites to run, so that site owners don’t need to manage it all themselves.

It is important to weigh and choose the right web hosting service for your sites.

Semrush has published a guide on finding the best web hosting services in 2022.

The Semrush team says, “If you want to use a hosting service for your site, you have a few basic options:

  • Shared hosting: a relatively budget-friendly option where multiple users share the same server system and resources
  • Virtual private servers (VPS): a hosting service where users store their data in a dedicated space on shared hardware (e.g., physical servers)
  • Dedicated servers: a hosting service that provides users with a dedicated server to store their site data, potentially increasing functionality, but also security and maintenance needs
  • Cloud hosting: a comparably newer hosting option, which stores data across a network of network of servers to increase flexibility
  • Managed hosting: an alternative to a typical dedicated server, users store data on a dedicated server, while the hosting service manages its security and maintenance rather than the user

Choosing the perfect host means balancing your site’s overall needs with potential cost or risk.

For example, one small business with relatively low site traffic may opt to save money by using shared hosting. While it’s true that sharing resources like this might increase the risk of disruption, for them, the savings might be worth it.”
