Choosing web hosting plays an essential role in the success of your website. And that’s why making any mistake in selecting the best web hosting will badly affect your website.
The reason why choosing a web hosting is important is because if you choose a wrong hosting provider, then most of the time your website will go down meaning the visitor will not be able to check your website’s content. And if this happens then your sites overall quality will decrease, and you will also lose all the customers. So, that’s why always choose the right hosting provider. To help you with this we will review companies like Dreamhost, A2 Hosting, and a few more.
Not all of the hosting providers are best; some of them provide cheap services. But before going to review the best hosting providers, let’s see the types of web hosting.
Types of Web Hosting
Generally, there are three types of hosting provided by hosting companies as described below:
Shared Hosting is a single server hosting where lots of websites are parked. It is cheap as compared to VPN and dedicated hosting. Also, shared hosting is recommended for beginners because initially there is very less traffic to their website.
2- Virtual Private Server (VPS)
In this type of web hosting, the company provides you with a server on which you can install your choice of operating system such as Linux, Windows etc. It is best to fit for those websites which are driving lots of visitors. VPS is more secure as compared to the shared hosting.
3- Dedicated Hosting
Dedicated Hosting is considered to be the best web hosting. In this, the company provides you with a dedicated server which you can customize as per your own needs like installing software, changing the operating system, etc. It means you have complete control over this server. Also, because of its advanced features, it is costlier compared to shared and virtual hostings.
Now, let’s start discussing our list of the best web hosting for beginners.

Factors Before Choosing The Best Web Hosting Service Provider
Before choosing a good and effective web hosting service provider, we should consider some of the points:
1- Webspace
Total webspace is based on your requirement. It can be determined by how many files you want to upload or keep on your server. Generally, 500MB-1GB is sufficient for a blog or website. There are many hosting service providers which also give you the option of unlimited space but before choosing these types of provider, be sure to read their manual as it is sometimes a marketing stunt to confuse the customers.

2- Bandwidth
The total bandwidth requirement depends on how many people will come to your website or the number of visitors to your site. Similar to the Webspace, many web hostings also provide unlimited bandwidth, but according to the above point, assess it and see the manual.
3- Operating System
Generally, there are two types of the operating system, i.e., Linux and Windows. Most of the web hosting providers provide both of these options with their plans. If your website is built on .Net technology, then you should choose the Windows platform. Linux is the best option for WordPress and other popular CMS. Generally, people prefer Linux based servers as in many cases it is better and more suitable than Windows server.
4- Uptime
Uptime is a standard quality measurement which refers to the operating time of the machine. In simple words, It shows how long (in %) their server remains online or available. Uptime is the essential factor you should consider when purchasing web hosting. Although almost all of the web hosting providers claim 99.9% uptime but nor all of them provide the same.
5- Number of Parked Domains
It is an optional feature that almost all service providers offer you. They give you the facility to host more than one website or domain. The advantage of this is that you do not have to buy a separate hosting space to host other domains.
Apart from this, you can also check other factors such as CDN facility, email accounts, number of databases, etc. when choosing the best web hosting for beginners.
Final Words
So, finally, we have completed the list of the best web hosting for beginners. Still, there are some of the best hosting providers missing from this list because this list is specially created for beginners. You can choose any provider from the above list, all of them are best, trusted and affordable. I hope this article will help you choose your desired web hosting for your website.
