Website Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions
Hosting Basics
What is website hosting and why do I need it?
Website hosting is a service that stores your website's files on a server so they can be accessed on the internet. Without hosting, your website doesn't exist online. Every website needs two things: a domain name (your web address, e.g. yourcompany.com) and hosting (the server where your website lives). The quality of your hosting directly affects your website's speed, security, uptime, and even your Google rankings. Paola Ruiz Design offers managed WordPress hosting for small businesses in Langley, BC — so your site is fast, secure, and always online.
What is the difference between shared hosting and managed WordPress hosting?
Shared hosting means your website shares a server with hundreds or thousands of other websites — this is the cheapest option (like GoDaddy or Bluehost's basic plans) but results in slow load times, security vulnerabilities, and poor performance. Managed WordPress hosting is a premium service where your website has dedicated resources, automatic WordPress updates, daily backups, enhanced security, and expert support. For serious businesses, managed WordPress hosting is always the better investment — faster sites rank higher in Google and convert more visitors into customers.
How much does website hosting cost per month?
Shared hosting can cost as little as $3–$10/month but delivers poor performance and limited support. Managed WordPress hosting typically ranges from $25–$100+/month depending on the provider and plan. At Paola Ruiz Design, our managed hosting plans are priced fairly for small businesses and include features that would cost far more if purchased separately: daily backups, security monitoring, SSL certificate, WordPress updates, and expert support from someone who knows your site personally.
Performance & Security
Why is my website so slow and how can I fix it?
Slow websites are most commonly caused by poor quality hosting (shared servers with too many sites), unoptimized images, too many plugins, no caching, or a poorly coded theme. A slow website hurts both user experience and Google rankings. The fastest fixes are: switching to better hosting, installing a caching plugin, compressing images, and cleaning up unnecessary plugins. If your site consistently loads in more than 3 seconds, it's time to address your hosting and optimization. Paola Ruiz Design can audit your site speed and recommend the most impactful improvements.
Does hosting affect my Google rankings?
Yes — website speed and uptime are confirmed Google ranking factors. Slow hosting leads to slow page load times, which increases bounce rates and signals poor user experience to Google. Frequent downtime means Google's crawlers can't access your site, which negatively impacts your rankings. High-quality hosting on servers optimized for WordPress ensures your site loads fast, stays online reliably, and performs well in Google search results.
What is an SSL certificate and do I need one?
An SSL certificate encrypts the connection between your website and visitors, displaying the padlock icon and 'https://' in the browser bar. Google has required SSL for years — websites without it are marked as 'Not Secure' and rank lower in search results. Customers also trust websites with SSL more, especially if you have any forms or e-commerce. Every website hosted by Paola Ruiz Design includes a free SSL certificate automatically installed and renewed.
How often should my website be backed up?
Your website should be backed up daily at minimum — and backups should be stored off-server (not on the same hosting account) so they're safe even if the server fails. Without regular backups, a hacked website, bad plugin update, or accidental deletion could mean losing everything. Paola Ruiz Design's managed hosting includes automatic daily backups stored securely off-site, with one-click restore capability so your site can be recovered quickly if anything goes wrong.
Domain & Email Hosting
Do I need a separate host for my business email?
Your business email (name@yourcompany.com) can be hosted either through your website hosting provider or through a dedicated email service like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. For small businesses, Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) is often recommended for professional email because it includes Gmail's interface, generous storage, and seamless integration with Google's tools. Paola Ruiz Design helps clients set up professional business email alongside their website and hosting — so your entire online presence is handled in one place.
What happens to my website if I stop paying for hosting?
If hosting payments lapse, your website goes offline and visitors see an error page. If the account is cancelled entirely, your website files may be deleted permanently. Your domain name is separate from hosting — if your domain registration also expires, someone else could register your business name. Paola Ruiz Design manages hosting renewals on behalf of clients to ensure your website never goes offline due to a missed payment. We also provide proper notice well before any renewals are due.
