Web hosting involves companies that maintain servers to allow users to put websites on the internet. When choosing a web host, it is important to consider factors like the essentialness of the website to your business, technical support availability, uptime guarantees, security measures, and platform flexibility. Potential hosts should be contacted directly to check for hidden fees, transfer limits, or terms of service that could impact your needs. Referral programs through affiliate partners may provide additional revenue opportunities.
