Basic Features of a Web Hosting Plan - Here is a list of basic features that most of the website hosting plans provide:
Disk Space
Disk space means the amount of storage space provided to you by your web hosting provider. You need disk space to store your web files composed of text, images, video, audio, etc.Disk space is measured in megabytes and a good hosting company will provide packages with differing amounts of space to cater to the needs of all sizes of websites- from smaller personal websites to larger company websites.
Bandwidth
Bandwidth means the amount of data that a website can transfer over a period of time. It determines the speed of your website. More bandwidth means more speed. The less bandwidth your site has, the slower it takes for it to load.Some hosting service providers provide unlimited bandwidth whereas some others have different prices based upon the amount you use. If your website has heavier pages like those with lots of images, videos, etc. then you will need higher storage along with greater bandwidth.
Uptime
Uptime means the percentage of time that a hosting server stays up or running. 99.99% uptime would mean that your website will go down only for about 8 hours in a year while 98% uptime would mean that your website may remain down for about 7.3 days in a year.If your website is an e-commerce website and your customers pay online or you get any type of business through your website, more downtime can mean greater losses.
