The pros of using a paid hosting service is you typically get better support since you are a paying customer. A lot of free host only offer limited support. For instance, you can only get help on a forum which takes 1-3 days to get a response.

Yes, security is usually much better, too. However, you can always install a WordPress security plugin if you have issues with security.

Over the past years I have used lots of hosts. Recently I did switched to Wealthy Affiliate. Their managed hosting service is very good. Also, they cost less than WP Engine, and a lot of other managed hosting plans.

Yeah, I remember in 2009 when I started my business. There was a lot to learn, but it’s well worth it. Paying for a hosting service is a must. You can really flush a lot of money down the toilet on hosting plans you don’t need. Over the years I have made this mistake. Over, my 8 years I have probably wasted 3-5k on paying for hosting I didn’t really need. Learn from my mistakes and start slow. Then when you need more resources, you can scale up.

I have never really been too knowledgeable about web hosting. Never really knew how to explain it. After reading your page here I believe I am fully capable of explaining what web hosting is. What is the benefit of having a free account being hosted vs a paid for one? More Security? What host do you use?

I am just getting into starting my own business and currently use WordPress for free. I think it is about time to upgrade to a paid one. I will be using your site as a reference when I decide to. Thanks for all this information!

Yeah, designing a website is the easier decision. There are a couple things you want to keep in mind:

Best colors for your website: https://blog.tbwhs.com/best-colors-website-design/

But, yes free hosting is ok. But, losing all your data is not ok.

I’ve seen in a recent comment you’ve talked about free hosting getting cut off all of a sudden. That would be absolutely brutal and something I wish to avoid!

I think you’ve done a really good job of explaining the key features. So thanks for the info.

That is a good question about cloud hosting and their security. Well, for cloud hosting they are secure as any other. A lot of people have the common misconception that other users could access other users data. This is not true, though. Also, I would say that cloud hosting is more secure than traditional hosting plans.

Most host will have some kind of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or cloud storage services, too. For instance, with HostingSource.com you can purchase server backups. This will include 100 – 300 GB of storage backup. Provided you are using cPanel you can always use Backup Wizard. This can be set to daily, weekly, or yearly.

If you are using WordPress you can always install plugins. Here are some WordPress security plugins. Here are some backup plugins.

Honestly, I didn’t know there were so many. Recently, I’ve gotten promotional emails about a cloud-based hosting platform. It’s very cheap, about $5 for unlimited sites. I tried the free trial but found it frustrating to use. I’m also worried about if it is secure or not. How secure is cloud hosting?
