internet. Essentially, it&rsquo;s like renting real estate on the internet so that you can have a physical server to store all your website&rsquo;s files and data.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to have a web host because it gives you the technology and resources you need for an effective and secure operation of your website. They make sure your server is up and running, implementing hosting security measures, and guaranteeing that all your media and text can appear as it should on visitors&rsquo; browsers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<\/p><div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-bluehost\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text show_in_index=&rdquo;true&rdquo; title_index=&rdquo;Bluehost&rdquo; title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;Bluehost: Best overall hosting provider&rdquo;]\n<h2>Bluehost: Best overall hosting provider<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text] <\/p><div class=\"scorecard scorecard-medium\" data-eventcategory=\"md-scorecard\" data-component=\"medium-scorecard\" data-supplier=\"Bluehost\">\n <div class=\"scorecard-element scorecard-medium-element \">\n <div class=\"scorecard-medium-wrap\">\n <div class=\"scorecard-medium-info\">\n <div class=\"scorecard-medium-logo\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/14085446\/Bluehost-e1695628392111.png?width=100&height=100&fit=crop\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"Bluehost logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-caption=\"\" class=\"flexi-comp-img\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"\"> <\/div>\n <div class=\"rating-basic\"><span class=\"rating-basic-current\">4.6<\/span> <span>out of 5<\/span><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <ul class=\"scorecard-medium-rating\">\n <li class=\"scorecard-rating-item\">\n <span class=\"scorecard-rating-name\">\n Types of hosting <\/span>\n <div class=\"scorecard-rating\">\n <div class=\"rating-stars\" style=\"--rating: 4.5\" aria-label=\"Rating of this product is 4.5 out of 5.\"><\/div>\n <span class=\"rating-number\">\n 4.5 <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <li class=\"scorecard-rating-item\">\n <span class=\"scorecard-rating-name\">\n Help and support <\/span>\n <div class=\"scorecard-rating\">\n <div class=\"rating-stars\" style=\"--rating: 5\" aria-label=\"Rating of this product is 5 out of 5.\"><\/div>\n <span class=\"rating-number\">\n 5 <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <li class=\"scorecard-rating-item\">\n <span class=\"scorecard-rating-name\">\n Features <\/span>\n <div class=\"scorecard-rating\">\n <div class=\"rating-stars\" style=\"--rating: 4\" aria-label=\"Rating of this product is 4 out of 5.\"><\/div>\n <span class=\"rating-number\">\n 4 <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <li class=\"scorecard-rating-item\">\n <span class=\"scorecard-rating-name\">\n Value for money <\/span>\n <div class=\"scorecard-rating\">\n <div class=\"rating-stars\" style=\"--rating: 4.4\" aria-label=\"Rating of this product is 4.4 out of 5.\"><\/div>\n <span class=\"rating-number\">\n 4.4 <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <li class=\"scorecard-rating-item\">\n <span class=\"scorecard-rating-name\">\n Up time performance <\/span>\n <div class=\"scorecard-rating\">\n <div class=\"rating-stars\" style=\"--rating: 4\" aria-label=\"Rating of this product is 4 out of 5.\"><\/div>\n <span class=\"rating-number\">\n 4 <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n \n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"scorecard-medium-button\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/bluehost-WebHosting-primary\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"btn btn-primary\" data-eventaction=\"Get Bluehost now\" data-cta-type=\"medium-scorecard-cta\">\n Get Bluehost now <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n[vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since it was founded in 2003, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/bluehost-WebHosting-primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\"><b>Bluehost<\/b><\/a><b> has supported more than two million business websites.&nbsp;<\/b>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It offers a comprehensive set of tools and a great range of web hosting packages to help its small business customers make the most of their online presence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bluehost&rsquo;s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> WordPress offering is where it really shines.

data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">InMotion<\/a> is a little pricier than the previous two hosting providers we&rsquo;ve covered.\n<p>So, what are you paying for?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it comes with all the top-of-the-range features you&rsquo;d expect from a top hosting provider, and it gives you unlimited disk space and bandwidth on even its basic plans. We were also impressed with its team of highly trained support staff &ndash; on hand 24\/7 should anything go wrong.<\/p>\n<p>But the provider&rsquo;s main strengths are its speed and security. It uses industry leading tech to maintain a fast service from its two dedicated data centres, while security features include auto-updates on web apps, free SSL, hack protection, custom firewall, and DDoS protection.<\/p>\n<p>Lending credence to <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/inmotionhosting-WebHosting-webhosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">InMotion&rsquo;s claims<\/a> is its 17-year tenure as a CNET certified company, and an A+ rating from consumer protection agency the Better Business Bureau. And if that&rsquo;s not enough to give you peace of mind, the hosting provider offers a 90-day money-back guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>The only area we marked it down for was uptime, ranking it fourth out of our top five providers. In the grand scheme of things, it still has industry leading reliability, but doesn&rsquo;t quite match the likes of HostGator (no.1 for uptime) or Bluehost.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">InMotion pricing<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<em>*Shared and VPS are for a 2 year plan, Dedicated is for 1 year.

Its QuickInstall tool is available with all plans, allowing you to create any type of website &ndash; blog, forum, CMS, wiki, gallery, ecommerce &ndash; in &ldquo;one click&rdquo;, with thousands of compatible applications and software available.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/hostgator-WebHosting-webhosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">HostGator&rsquo;s WordPress<\/a> offering is decent, with free migrations and advanced security available on all plans. What&rsquo;s more, it claims to boost WordPress load times and website performance by 2.5x thanks to its &ldquo;super charged cloud architecture&rdquo;. It doesn&rsquo;t quite have the depth of features as it&rsquo;s nearest rivals, but we gave it full marks for help and support, making it our best provider for customer service.<\/p>\n<p>Prices are comparable to Bluehost, and Hostgator offers a generous 45-day money-back guarantee if you&rsquo;re not satisfied with its service. But, as our top rated provider for uptime (with a 99.99% guarantee), and the ability to easily scale up to a more sophisticated plan, that&rsquo;s unlikely.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:

These areas had different weightings depending on how important they were to users.<\/p>\n<p>For example, value for money is <em>key<\/em> &ndash; anything that&rsquo;s going to provide someone with guaranteed uptime at a competitive price is on to a winner.<\/p>\n<p>The importance of help and support was also a surprise insight when speaking with users. They want to know that they can get in touch with someone if they encounter an issue. In fact, most users said they prized help and support more than the general hosting features offered by the provider.<\/p>\n<p>Equipped with our insights from our first-hand research, you should feel ready to choose the right website hosting service for you.
