If you want a website, you need three things: a domain (your web address), the website itself, and hosting. But what exactly is hosting?
Hosting Simply Explained
Your website consists of files: texts, images, code. These files need to be stored somewhere so that other people can access them via the internet. This storage space is called hosting.
Think of hosting as an apartment for your website. The domain is the address, the website is the furniture, and the hosting is the building.
Why Hosting Matters
- Speed: Good hosting ensures your website loads quickly
- Availability: Your hosting determines whether your website is reachable around the clock
- Security: Good hosting protects your website from attacks and data loss
- Email: Most hosting providers also offer email accounts with your domain
What to Look For
- Server location in Germany (important for data protection)
- SSL certificate included (for secure encryption)
- Regular backups (so nothing gets lost)
- Good support when problems arise
What Hosting Costs
Prices start at just a few euros per month. For a standard business website, basic hosting is perfectly sufficient. You only need expensive servers with very high visitor volumes.
