A web hosting service is a type of service that hosts websites for clients, i.e. it offers the facilities required for them to create and maintain a website and makes it accessible on the World Wide Web. Companies providing web hosting services are sometimes called web hosts.
Building a website is an exciting prospect, but getting started can be sometimes intimidating. Fortunately, the best web hosting services make this undertaking relatively simple. GoDaddy, HotingRaja, HostGator, BlueHost, BigRock, Hostinger, DeramHost, A2Hosting, InMotionHosting, etc. are a few of the popular companies providing Web Hosting services.
Important Factors to be considered for choosing a Web Hosting:
- Affordability of the plans available,
- User friendly platform, dashborad, panel for hosting,
- Storage and RAM allocated,
- Server Uptime reliability,
- Maximum monthly visitors and bandwidth allowed,
- Server loaction – in India or abroad,

Conclusion:
After comparision of above Web Hosts, I have found the platform and admin panel provided by Hostinger to be more friendly for the non-techie and non-coder web-developers, and thus have gone with them. They also provide Domain Registration free for the first year with their Premium Hosting Plan.
