A person may need to have a website for several different reasons. You may want to create a website about yourself, create an information site or create a business website having e-commerce facilities. Whatever the reason maybe, you need to get the services of a website hosting service provider in order to host your website. You can get a free hosting service provider to host your website, but the disadvantage is that the functionality will be limited. Also you will probably have to display advertisements provided by your hosting provider in your website. The other option is to purchase the services of a web hosting provider.

There are different types of hosting services, two of which are shared web hosting and reseller web hosting. In shared hosting, all the websites are stored on a single server. All websites share resources such as CPU time, hard disk space and bandwidth. The user is given full control over his/her own website, usually with a cPanel control panel. Actually, you should only purchase a hosting provider offering a cPanel; for reasons explained later. Reseller web hosting has all the functionalities of shaded hosting as well as additional functionalities. In reseller hosting the client himself/herself becomes a web host. This means that the client is not only able to create his/her own website, but is also able to sell hosting services to other clients. The type of hosting provided and the price of the hosting service is decided solely by the client. Obviously, reseller web hosting is more expensive than shared hosting.

Web hosting can also be classified as pre-installed software hosting and software download hosting. If you hire the services of a hosting service provider having pre-installed software, then you don’t have to download any kind of software in order to start your website. On the other hand if you purchase a software download hosting service provider, then you will have to first download web hosting software. Then you will have to install the hosting software at the hosting provider’s server. Only then can you start to create your website.

Wordpress is hosting software which can be used to create a website. Wordpress hosting is a relatively simple process and provides you with a large number of functionalities. Although Wordpress is compatible with different hosting providers, it is highly advisable that you use Wordpress with a hosting service provider having a cPanel control panel (this was aforementioned). This is because you can easily install Wordpress onto the server through the use of the Fantastico function in the cPanel. In order to use Wordpress software, your hosting service will have to provide good database facilities. Poor database facilities will retard the performance of the website significantly.
