What is Web
Hosting
Web hosting is a service that allows organizations
and individuals to post a website or web page on to
the Internet.
A web host, or web hosting service provider, is a
business that provides the technologies and services
needed for the website or webpage to be viewed in
the Internet. Websites are hosted, or stored, on
special computers called servers.
Web hosting is what allows websites to be available
on the internet. In other words, since websites need
to be connected to servers in order to be accessed
by the public, think of web hosting as a service
where you can rent space on an existing server. It
may sound complex, but web hosting companies
make it simple for anyone to get and connect web
hosting to their website. It’s affordable with an
average cost of around $3 to $15 per month.

Shared Web Hosting
Don’t make the mistake of choosing the wrong web host. While it may sound as though
all web hosting is the same, the reality is that it’s not. Choosing the wrong web host
can cost you time and money, in addition to creating a bad user experience, harming
your site’s search engine optimization (SEO), and putting your site and its visitors’
security at risk.
Here are a few reasons why you should take the time to choose the right web host:
Slow load times cause a poor user experience, hurt SEO, and cause high bounce rates.
Not all hosts include extras like a free domain and business email, so it will cost you
more money if you choose one that doesn’t.
It will cost you extra time if you have to connect your own domain, get your own SSL
certificate, and manually connect your host.
There are increased security risks with low-quality hosting providers.
There is often site downtime with hosts that aren’t reliable.
Search Engine Optimization
(SEO)
T.Abdullah Ashmawi
What’s an SEO?
Refers to the process of “optimizing” both the on-page and off-page ranking factors
in order to achieve high search engine rankings for targeted search terms.
Refers to the “industry” that revolves around obtaining high rankings in the search
engines for desirable keyword search terms as a means of increasing the relevant
traffic to a given website.
If you are new to all of this, you’re probably wondering, what is SEO and why is it such a big
deal?
I think moz.com puts it best: “Search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of increasing
the quantity and quality of traffic to your website through organic search engine results.”
The whole point of search engine optimization is to rank higher within search engines so that
more people visit your site. Search engines, such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, as well as others,
have unique algorithms that determine how high a particular website is able to rank.
But the good news is that many of these determining factors are well known. Let’s start
breaking them down.
On-Page vs Off-Page SEO
2. A Speedy Site
This is where search engine optimization can become tricky. If you have poor
hosting or a page that loads slowly, your ranking will suffer . . .
The best way to resolve this? Perform a site audit and determine whether there
are any technical SEO issues dragging you down. I recommend using SEMRush,
which provides a fantastic all-in-one auditing tool.
3. Solid Focus Keywords
For every piece of content you create, keyword research is extremely important.
All in all, you want to choose keywords that have a decent number of monthly
average searches at low (medium, at worst) competition. Google Adwords
