The place where organization or individuals place their websites is called - web hosting. Here are the considerations in order to find out the ideal web hosting services for newbies:
Price: This is one of the aspects as we generally look at first while choosing a hosting provider. Simply, jumping on one of the cheapest ones is also not so good idea, especially if you rely on the website to make money. HostMonk & WHReviews are two websites with comprehensive hosting companies where you can compare prices of almost every web hosting company.
Area of Specialties: Simply, just look into industry’s specialty or area of expertise before you purchase, plus go with one, which understands one of the specific needs of a customer.
Technical Specifications: Take a good look at your website and figure out what do you want exactly with that. If you do want to host a blog or an e-commerce website, then you must not go with the cheapest hosting package that you can find.
Tech Support: This is one of the biggest one considerations. Before going to any host, see what kind of diverse ways that you can contact them when you need in terms of technical support such as email, toll-free no., 24x7 support and so on.
Others are Features, Hardware, Scalability, etc.
what is difference between web hosting and word press hosting?
Can you provide a link to the hosting provider that is offering the two services? As without context, your question is unclear.
I think you may have been confused by my post, @mahender424. I simply meant that the first link was about finding a hosting company in general, while the next two links specifically dealt with hosting a WordPress site.
godaddy
Okay, short answer (in reference to GoDaddy).
The Wordpress Hosting, give you a WordPress install and GoDaddy handles everything else on your behalf. They upgrade it, they manage the server, they installed it for you, and so forth. However, this is for 1 Wordpress instance, so you would have to pay another $3.99 a month for a second Wordpress site. Things I haven’t found answers to:
- I don’t know if you can setup email addresses for your domain
- I don’t know if you can host anything else on top of your wordpress install (my guess is you can’t)
- I don’t think you can setup a subdomain
With the traditional web hosting, you would be in charge of installing and managing WordPress, but you would also be able to do the above mentioned items as well.

ok,can you suggest which host provider is best for beginners in word press
The GoDaddy one will do you well for a beginner. You will be limited on what you can do, but they’ll manage the whole thing. DreamHost has a similar hosting package too (if you want to look at competitors). DreamHost is more expensive when you compare GoDaddy’s 30 GB option with theirs, but again there are a bunch of unknowns about how GoDaddy sets theirs up.
You don’t know if
- it is on a VPS or a Shared Server
- whether your setup can scale up to meet your visitor/traffic needs (DreamHost does it automatically)
- Whether you have access to a control panel to manage other aspects of your site, email addresses, and so forth.
What you do know about GoDaddy
- You have SSH/SFTP access, so you can upload files
- The Ultimate WordPress Hosting package lets you have 2 sites (and the one higher than that, 5 sites), so you can actually get it to have multiple sites. (can’t be done with DreamHost)
Everything else is pretty similar, other than DreamHost doesn’t limit your traffic, which GoDaddy limits to 400,000 at its “comparable” package. (I’m betting GoDaddy is a shared server, which means this really isn’t all that comparable at all)
