Yes, if you want your website to actually be online, you absolutely need hosting.
Hosting is where all your website’s files, images, and content live — it’s like renting space on the internet. Without it, your website has nowhere to exist, and no one can find it.
How Hosting Works
When someone types your domain into their browser, their device connects to your hosting server, which delivers your website to their screen. Reliable hosting ensures this happens quickly, securely, and 24/7.
What to Look For in Hosting
Not all hosting is equal. Good hosting should include:
- Fast loading speeds
- Reliable uptime (99.9% or higher)
- Daily backups
- Strong security
- Email hosting (optional but handy)
- Local or regional support
At Free Digital, hosting is included as part of our $39/month package — which also covers updates, support, email accounts, and more.
What About Free Hosting?
Be cautious with “free” hosting. It often comes with:
- Forced ads on your site
- No control over your domain
- Limited support and features
- Poor performance
Think of hosting as the foundation of your digital presence. If it’s shaky, everything else suffers.
