It can be designed and coded to serve wide range of your demand. That is the reason why it may require medium or large server to ensure the smooth sailing on the website. But wait, it is not true for all cases. If your website will not generate a great amount of traffic, it is unnecessary to choose a big plan on website hosing.
2. Blog is simpler and updated more frequently. It is to share simple information, content and keep visitors updated about your business or your sharing. A blog always has some fundamental features such as article, social media integration, image slideshow, subscription form, contact form, etc. Blog features are not so forceful.
