What Web Hosting guides cover
Hosting decides whether your site is fast, reachable and recoverable. This section explains plans, renewal pricing, backups, support and the point where a small site genuinely needs its own server.
How we test Web Hosting advice
We read the renewal invoice, test support response times and check what a plan actually limits before writing. Performance advice is based on measured page speed, not on spec sheets. We do not accept referral fees from hosts.
