What is website hosting?
Think of hosting as the home for your website. It stores your website files and makes them available online so people can visit your site 24/7.
Some website solutions include hosting as part of the service. Others require separate hosting. I’ll help you choose the option that makes the most sense for your goals, budget, and technical needs.
Both WordPress and Wix can support professional business websites with multiple pages, blogging, contact forms, appointment scheduling, service payments, and other marketing tools. The biggest differences are flexibility, maintenance requirements, and how hosting is managed.
Canva Websites are best for simple websites, landing pages, event pages, and online information that doesn’t require the advanced functionality of a larger website.
