How do I get started with web hosting?

To get started with web hosting, you will need to choose a web hosting provider and purchase a hosting plan. Once you have chosen a provider and plan, you will need to register a domain name (if you don't already have one) and set up your account with the provider. After that, you can upload your website files to the server and make them live on the internet using Gohostar. It is also very important to keep your web hosting updated and maintained, as well as securing your website to ensure it runs smoothly and is protected from any potential security threats.

What is the difference for each plan?

The difference between web hosting plans can vary, but generally, plans will differ in terms of the amount of storage space, bandwidth, and features offered. Storage space refers to the amount of disk space available to store your website files, and bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred to and from your website each month. Some other common features that may vary between plans include: the number of websites, email accounts, SSL certificate, control panel, and backup options. It's important to evaluate your website's specific needs and compare them to the features offered by different plans before making a decision.
