Hosting your own website requires powerful server hardware, 24/7 high-speed internet access, and ensuring the server never goes down, which can be expensive and difficult to manage. Using a web hosting service provider ensures very fast and reliable connectivity, robust servers with load balancing and backups, and 99% uptime. When choosing a hosting provider, it is important to check that they offer daily backups, essential email services, options for frontpage and database access, and no bandwidth limits for multimedia content.
