Frequently Asked Questions

Web hosting is a service that stores your website files on an always-on server and delivers them to visitors when they type your domain. Read our full guide, What Is Web Hosting and How Does It Work?

A domain is your website address; hosting is where the files live. Many hosts include a free domain for the first year with annual plans, but they are still two separate products with separate renewals.

Shared hosting suits new blogs and small business sites. VPS gives dedicated resources and root control for developers. Cloud hosting scales for growing stores and high traffic. Managed WordPress hosting handles speed, security and updates for you at a higher price.

A 99.9% guarantee allows roughly 8.7 hours of downtime a year and is fine for most small sites. Stores and revenue-critical sites should look for 99.95%–99.99% and a clear SLA.

Hosting companies discount the first billing term. After that the plan renews at the regular rate, which can be two to four times higher. Every Landhoster review shows both prices.
