Several hosting options are available, including:
- Shared Web Hosting: Your site shares server resources with others. While budget-friendly, it may fall short for a growing e-commerce enterprise.
- Dedicated Server Hosting: You get a complete physical server for your website. It's very powerful but demands in-house technical expertise.
- Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting: A virtualised server that functions like a dedicated one. It offers more resources than shared hosting at a lower price point than dedicated hosting. However, it still requires technical know-how to manage.
- Managed cPanel Hosting: A virtual machine that delivers the power of dedicated resources and user-friendly cPanel management, while the hosting provider oversees the physical server, software and all technical aspects.
