Now that you’ve got your website, it’s time to get it on the web. But how does that happen? Before your website can be found on the internet you must find a hosting service. Luckily, Big Red Jelly has you covered and can answer all of the questions you may have.
What Hosting Plans are offered?
Every domain that has been purchased and attached to a website is like an online apartment space. In order to keep that domain up and running, “rent” needs to be paid on a monthly or yearly basis. This “rent” is hosting. Without hosting, no website would have a place on-line. That means that every website that is currently running is paying for hosting.
Every hosting service is different. Because of this you will need to make sure that you choose the option that is best for you and that meets all of the needs that your website requires. Although that may not be the cheapest option, you will not regret choosing a great hosting service.
What type of plan would be better for me?
At Big Red Jelly we offer two subscription options: yearly and monthly plans. Monthly plans require no long-term commitment and are billed monthly. This is a great option for short-term users as this allows you to cancel your plan at any time.
Yearly plans are cheaper and they are billed yearly. These are less expensive in the end due to discounted rates for yearly plans. Yearly subscriptions are recommended if you will be using the service for at least a year or more.

What happens if I don’t pay for hosting?
Paying for hosting is required to keep your website on the internet and to maintain the quality of the sites that are created here at Big Red Jelly. If hosting is not paid for, your website will be taken down and the information will be lost. This means that the URL will no longer be active and it will be impossible to find the site on the internet.
You don’t want to lose your website and neither do we! That’s why Big Red Jelly has many hosting options available for you with a wide range of prices. We offer competitive hosting at 4 price points so you can find what works best for you.
