Wouldn’t it be great if we never needed to be 100% dependant on some expensive web developer to code our site for us and we could do it all ourselves?

Your Simple Guide to Web Hosting

Web hosting refers to where our website is going to be “living”. Just like our families have their own homes to live in, a website’s set of files must have a little space somewhere to call their own.

These spaces are called servers, and there are large warehouses all over the world that are full of them, all waiting to be “rented out” to you, the client. This is done through what we call a hosting company. Its job is to rent you a space on their server, take care of your files, and provide the best service possible to keep your site running smoothly.

There are certain factors to take into consideration when choosing your web host, some more important than others. Below is a list of these factors in no particular order to get you going on your new site.

Specular is a multi-purpose business theme from Codeless that not only offers a large variety of ready-made demos, but also lets you customize the theme before purchasing it.

Top Themes & Plugins for Your ‘Coming Soon’ & ‘Under Construction’ Sites

When setting up a new website, many individuals and companies like to use a ‘Coming Soon’ or an ‘Under Construction’ page or plugin for their site while it is still being developed. This not only lets you put your website out there earlier, but also creates a buzz around the launch of your exciting, new website.

These are typically simple one page sites, showing a countdown to the launch of the website, and perhaps some information regarding what the website is for, and so on. Whatever the case, an attractive page of the sorts is a great way to keep your users interested and coming back to see the final result.

From simple and sleek designs, to colourful & outrageous pages, you can find whatever type of page you’d like with WordPress themes and plugins.
