– Support for programming languages as well as databases or pre-written tools to serve website name transaction activities such as sending email, uploading via website, managing products, news…

– The server needs to be cared for, maintained and updated regularly to avoid technical and security risks.

– Web Hosting as mentioned above is basically like renting an office on the internet, so your storage capacity is the same as the office area. It is necessary to have a large enough capacity (in GB) to fully store the information, data and images of the Website.

Bandwidth is also an issue to keep in mind. The bandwidth needs to be large enough to serve the transaction and information exchange activities of the website.
