In either case you must know about server hosting and what to look for.

Building a website is no longer just creating pages posting and say it is done. Majority of the so called digital creators have no clue about it and once done run away. Leaving you in the cold asking yourself why so slow of a website. Why no ranking on internet? The complexity now is beyond any beginners knowledge and more likely push the beginner away from the profession of website design SAD but true. If you are on a shared hosting I strongly recommend upgrading to VPS! More tools to find why websites are running slow that shared wont supply and the support may or may not supply to you. DO NOT UPGRADE a hosting package just because the hosting provider recommends this (HUGE mistake) they may give you docs to support the claim. They maybe convincing until you find outside trusted person to review consult to agree or disagree. . Sales and Marketing think! If you don't know why find someone trusted to not only tell you why but gives supported docs. There maybe a bad bot swamping out your system. #1 amazon bot! cloud-flare is having issues as a post 7 days ago I found. The saying now days do your own research!
