What is web hosting?
Web hosting is the server space that stores your website's files and serves them to visitors whenever they type in your domain. Every plan below runs the same fast, secure network — the difference between them is how much of the server is dedicated to you, and how much control you get over it.
This page gives a quick overview so you can pick the right category before diving into the full plan details on each dedicated page — shared hosting, WordPress hosting, cloud/SSD hosting, VPS and dedicated servers each have their own page with the exact specs, pricing and features for that hosting type.
Technically, a web host is a company that owns and maintains physical servers connected to the internet around the clock, then rents out space on those servers so individuals and businesses don't have to buy, configure and secure hardware of their own. Once you register a domain name and point it at your hosting account's name servers, every visitor who types in that address is routed to your files — your HTML, images, databases and email — stored on that server. The plan you choose decides how those server resources are shared. Shared hosting places many websites on one server, splitting the cost and making it the cheapest way to get a small business, blog or portfolio site online in Pakistan. VPS and dedicated hosting give you a slice of a server (or the whole machine) reserved for your use alone, which suits stores, high-traffic sites and applications that need guaranteed resources and full root access.
For a Pakistani audience specifically, hosting your site on servers physically located in or near Pakistan reduces latency, so pages load faster for local visitors and search engines reward that speed with better rankings on Google Pakistan. Whatever plan you pick, look for the same fundamentals: solid uptime (99.9% or better), a free SSL certificate so your site loads securely over https, enough disk space and bandwidth for your traffic, regular backups, and responsive local support when something needs fixing. Every plan we sell — from the cheapest shared hosting package to a fully dedicated server — includes free SSL and is backed by 24/7 support in Urdu and English, so the only real decision left is how much dedicated capacity your site actually needs.
