Many new bloggers make the mistake of buying Webhosting from an unreliable source which eventually slows down your website performance and costs you more.

Here I will share everything you need to know to buy better web hosting and a free domain name.

what is web hosting?

Web hosting is an online service that enables you to publish your website on the World Wide Web (Internet). 

Web server saves all of your website data like themes, plugins, images, text, etc and when someone visits your website it will upload the data to the reader’s browser.

A server is a physical computer that runs without any interruption so that your website is available 24×7.

There are many reliable Web hosting out there like Siteground, Bluehost, hostinger, A2 hosting, prohosty, etc.

If you are looking for a premium hosting plan with a monthly budget of 6.99$ (nearly 500 INR) then you can go for Siteground hosting.

I also recommend hostinger hosting as it is very affordable and provides better service.
