Web hosting
"Anything and Everything on the Web" is the culture of the day. It has
become essential to keep the information about the organization and self
in the cyberspace.
Web hosting is a service that allows users to post Web pages to the
Internet. It allows users to publish their own information resources to any
Internet user . It is a business that provides the technologies and services
needed for web sites to be viewed on the web.
What is a hosting service and what is its purpose?
Hosting is a service whereby one computer configured as an Internet
server offers a part of, or its whole resources, for use in exchange for a
certain rental fee. Thanks to this service, one or more users can use
information, services or content located on this server using another
computer called client. The client uses the Internet to connect with the
server and displays the desired content to the user.
Who is Web Host?
Any person or company who owns a server and rents out web space for
website hosting can be called the web host. The large web hosting
companies even own their datacenter (collection of servers) where they
can host millions of websites.. Most of the web hosts provide not only
web space but many other services related to website hosting and are
thus also called web service providers.
For what purpose you want web hosting and how to
choose best
Before you choose a web host it is very important to know that what
you want from your site. Do you just want one to play around with
and have one for your friends and family or do you want one for your
local business or to create a way of making money online?
Free web hosts will be fine to play around on but you will need to pay
if you want it for a business or making money online.
You can choose the best web hosting according to your needs by
viewing the features and different types of web hosting.
What are the Basic Features of a Web Hosting Plan?
Disk Space:
Disk space means the amount of storage space provided to you by your web
hosting provider. You need disk space to store your web files composed of text,
images, video, audio, etc. disk space is measured in megabytes.
Bandwidth:
Bandwidth means the amount of data that a website can transfer over a period of
time. It determines the speed of your website. More bandwidth means more
speed. The less bandwidth your site has, the slower it takes for it to load. Some
hosting service providers provide unlimited bandwidth whereas some others have
different prices based upon the amount you use. If your website has heavier pages
like those with lots of images, videos etc. then you will need higher storage along
with greater bandwidth.
Uptime:
Uptime means the percentage of time that a hosting server stays up or
running. 99.99% uptime would mean that your website will go down only for
about 8 hours in a year while 98% uptime would mean that your website may
remain down for about 7.3 days in a year. If your website is an ecommerce
website and your customers pay online or you get any type of business
through your website, more downtime can mean greater losses.
Programming Services:
The website hosting packages also let you create web pages with
programming languages including HTML, PHP, ASP as well as databases. The
best offers can be called those providing PHP language and mySQL database.
Customer Service:
This is one of the basic and most essential features that one should look for
while selecting website hosting service. Customer support options like those
provided through chat, phone and email etc. are extremely useful in the
event of any technical or other problems related to your website.
Types of Hosting
Depending on the quantity of the server resources your website is allowed to use, and
how many user accounts a given server hosts, hosting can be divided into:
Free web hosting service:
Offered by different companies with limited services, sometimes supported by
advertisements, and often limited when compared to paid hosting.
Shared web hosting:
Shared hosting is the most popular form of web hosting. It is called "shared" because
many different web applications (most often websites) are stored on one single physical
server and thus share its resources. A separate account with specific parameters (disk
space, traffic, number of databases, etc) and a web-based account administration control
panel is assigned to each user. The account is administered entirely by the user via a webbased interface control panel, which gives even the beginners quick access and full
control over their accounts. Because of the very nature of the shared web hosting
service, it is suitable for smaller and not too heavily loaded websites.
Reseller web hosting:
Allows clients to become web hosts themselves.
Dedicated hosting:
Dedicated hosting implies that clients' applications do not share the server's resources with
other users' applications. Besides, the server uses the entire available bandwidth for
purposes of its own. The user has full control over the server. This type of hosting is
intended for websites and web applications, which generate substantial hardware load,
unthinkable for the resources that shared hosting offers. Dedicated hosting is usually
recommended as a solution for sites that register more than 15000 visits a day, for big
online shops and portals, popular online games, etc.
Cloud hosting:
Allows customers powerful, scalable and reliable hosting based on clustered load-balanced
servers.
Virtual server:
Virtual server is a notion, which stands somewhere between "shared" and "dedicated"
hosting. Here, one physical server is divided into several independent virtual servers.
Essentially, each such virtual server can be looked upon as being "dedicated", because a
separate operation system is being installed on it according to the user's needs, which
takes up the applications of one given client only. The most commonly used pieces of
server virtualization software are VMware, FreeVPS, User-mode Linux, Virtuozzo, etc. The
settings of the server are optimized to work with each of them and the resources it can use
are much more than those offered by shared hosting. Recommended for websites and
applications, which require specific operation system settings, and which generate
substantial server load.
Home server:
Usually a single machine placed in a private residence can be used to host one or more
web sites from a usually consumer-grade broadband connection.
CMS Hosting:
Some open-source content management systems (CMS) have emerged very well in
the recent years and they have become a preferred choice for the novice and
sophisticated developers alike.
Many web hosting companies Like wordpress provide CMS based web hosting
packages in order to provide the webmasters with the best platform to create a
website or a blog.
