Most developers are throwing money away
0:02
on the wrong hosting projects. Crash
0:04
businesses fail all because of one bad
0:07
decision. In the next few minutes, I'll
0:08
explain [music] every type of web
0:10
hosting you need to know so you never
0:12
make that mistake. Let's get into it.
0:14
First up, let's talk about shared
0:16
hosting. Think of it like a shared
0:18
apartment with your roommates. You and
0:20
500 other websites are all sharing the
0:23
same server, same CPU, same RAM, same
0:27
bandwidth, everything shared. It's the
0:29
cheapest option out there, sometimes as
0:31
low as two to three dollars per month.
0:33
Perfect for beginners and small blogs,
0:35
but the moment your traffic starts
0:37
growing, [music] your site slows down
0:39
because your neighbors are consuming all
0:41
the resources. [music] Great starting
0:43
point, but trust me, you will outgrow it
0:45
fast. So, what's the upgrade? Virtual
0:48
private [music] server. This is the
0:49
natural upgrade from shared hosting and
0:52
honestly, the sweet spot for most
0:54
serious developers. You get your own
0:56
dedicated CPU, your own RAM, your own
0:59
storage. No noisy neighbors, no shared
1:01
resources, full root access, full
1:03
control over your server. And the best
1:05
VPNs [music] I've personally used is
1:07
Hostinger. AMD EPYC processors, NVMe
1:12
storage that's 10 times faster than
1:14
regular SSDs, 1 gigabit per second
1:17
network speed, and a free dot cloud
1:19
domain included. They also have an AI
1:21
server admin called Cody that manages
1:23
everything for you, even if you're not a
1:26
Linux expert. Let me show you exactly
1:28
how to get started with Hostinger. Head
1:30
over to hostinger.com. I'll drop the
1:32
link in the description below. Log in to
1:34
your Hostinger account if you don't have
1:36
one yet. Signing up takes less than a
1:38
minute. Once you're on the dashboard,
1:40
look at the left sidebar [music] and
1:42
scroll all the way down. You'll see at
1:44
the bottom, click on it. Here you'll see
1:46
the hosting options. I personally
1:51
plan, two vCPU cores, 8 GB RAM, and 100
1:56
GB NVMe storage. Perfect for most
1:59
projects and always go with the annual
2:01
plan. You save significantly more money
2:03
long-term. Click setup to get started.
2:05
First, choose your server location.
2:07
Always pick the location closest to your
2:09
target audience. For South Asian
2:11
audiences, I recommend India. It gives
2:14
you the lowest latency and the fastest
2:16
[music] loading speeds for your
2:17
visitors. Next, choose your operating
2:20
system. I recommend Ubuntu, the most
2:22
popular Linux distribution for
2:24
developers worldwide. Select Ubuntu
2:29
the most stable and widely supported
2:31
version available. Now, set your root
2:33
password. Click generate for a strong,
2:35
secure [music] password, and make sure
2:37
to save it somewhere safe. You will need
2:39
this every time you log into your apps.
2:41
Here, you'll see some additional
2:42
features. [music] I recommend enabling
2:44
the malware scanner. It's completely
2:47
free and automatically protects your
2:49
apps from malicious files and suspicious
2:51
activity. Daily backups and Docker
2:54
Manager are optional. You can always add
2:56
them later from your dashboard anytime.
2:59
Now, at checkout, look at this. You're
3:01
already saving 63% with the annual plan.
3:04
That's massive savings right there. And
3:07
on top of that, use code swag at
3:09
checkout [music] for an additional 10%
3:11
off. The link is in the description
3:13
below. Once your setup is complete,
3:15
you'll land right here on your
3:16
dashboard. From here, you can manage
3:18
everything, your server domains, emails,
3:21
and more. Next, we have cloud hosting.
3:24
Instead one server, your website runs
3:26
across multiple servers simultaneously.
3:28
If [music] one server fails, another
3:30
takes over instantly. AWS, Google Cloud,
3:34
Azure, this is their world. Highly
3:36
scalable, highly reliable, but expensive
3:39
and complex to configure. Great for
3:41
large-scale applications. Before I
3:43
continue, I want to use this opportunity
3:46
to introduce the community of hackers
3:48
because there's so much I can't share on
3:50
YouTube. Whether it's because of
3:52
platform rules or because some skills
3:54
need deeper hands-on explanations,
3:56
[music] many of my videos got deleted
3:58
and that's why I created a Policy Point
4:00
Learning Community for you, a place
4:02
where I can share everything. When you
4:04
join, you're not just getting another
4:05
course, you're getting
4:06
>> access to complete ethical hacking
4:09
guides, the tools and techniques I wish
4:11
someone had handed me when I was
4:13
starting out. And here's the kicker,
4:15
this is the stuff I don't teach on here.
4:17
No watered-down content, no clickbait,
4:20
just raw actionable knowledge. On top of
4:23
that, you'll join an exclusive community
4:25
on Discord. I pinned the link in the
4:26
comments section below, but it's not for
4:28
everyone. The link is only available for
4:30
those who are serious about the journey.
4:32
Another one is overkill for most
4:34
developers starting out. WordPress
4:37
hosting. We all know about WordPress.
4:39
Think of it as shared hosting, but
4:41
specifically [music] optimized for
4:43
WordPress, pre-installed plugins,
4:45
automatic updates, WordPress [music]
4:47
specific performance tweaks. Great if
4:50
you only need a WordPress blog, but
4:52
you're completely locked into one
4:54
platform the moment you want to go
4:55
beyond WordPress, you're stuck. Great
4:58
for bloggers, [music]
4:59
very limiting for developers. Finally, a
5:01
dedicated server, an entire physical
5:04
server just for you. Maximum
5:06
maximum control. Netflix, Amazon, large
5:09
enterprises, they run on dedicated
5:11
servers, but cost anywhere from $200 to
5:14
$500 per month and requires serious
5:17
technical knowledge. Complete overkill
5:19
for most developers. Skip it unless
5:21
you're running a massive platform. So,
5:23
that's every web hosting type explained,
5:25
from the basics to the advanced. Stick
