    When it comes to building a web presence, a website is only part of the process. Before you even get started building one, you need to know where it will be hosted. There are many different hosting options out there, each of which features its own benefits and drawbacks. Your first step should be to define what you need from your hosting service, and finding a plan that can meet most or all of them. It’s worth exploring different hosting options such as VPS, cloud, and shared hosting to understand the costs and benefits each gives you.

    The next step is to register a domain name (think of it as your virtual storefront’s address). Finally, you can start building. Most hosting options will give you the tools to build your own website from scratch, or a catalogue of premade templates that you can simply fine-tune to get started more quickly. 

    If you’re using a content management system (CMS), then which one you choose may also impact your hosting choice.  There are plenty of CMS options to pick from when setting up web hosting, but the easiest hosting installations include the following:

    • Drupal Hosting – this is a web hosting plan that is compatible with the Drupal CMS. If you want a Drupal website, you will use Drupal CMS to design and build your site. It is a flexible and powerful tool. Drupal hosting, however, is what allows the website to be accessible to internet users. Some of the best Drupal hosting providers include SiteGround, Bluehost, iPage, and InMotion.
    • Joomla Hosting – Joomla is a content management system that allows you to connect your website to MySQL, MySQLi and PostgreSQL. You can use Joomla to create websites and applications. Joomla hosting, on the other hand, is any kind of web hosting compatible with Joomla CMS. Some of the best Joomla hosting providers include SiteGround, InMotion, Bluehost, iPage, and HostGator.
    • WordPress Hosting – WordPress is an open-source tool for website creation and is the simplest content management system available. WordPress is ideal for blogging, music, eCommerce, news, photography, and business. WordPress hosting is optimized for WordPress performance and security requirements. This includes installing WordPress integrations with a single click. Some of the best WordPress hosting providers include Bluehost, HostGator, SiteGround, Liquid Web and Hostinger.
