Web Hosting Variations and their Benefits

author Posted by: James Norris | filed Filed under: Hosting Tips & Advice

 

Web hosting is a service that allows people anywhere in the world to run their own website. These sites can and will be viewed all around the globe. Web hosting works through companies that host servers, which keep your website up and running.  Every website on the World Wide Web is run from some kind of web hosting server. There are many types of web hosting service providers and each one has benefits of their own.

One type of web hosting is free web hosting. With free web hosting, there are no costs to the customer whatsoever. The site is run on advertisements for other companies. The only bad thing about a free web host is that the features are limited. A free web host is a good place to start though, especially if you’re a beginner.

Another type of web hosting is shared, or same server web hosting. Shared web hosting limit’s the disk space and bandwidth for your website, but it is extremely cheap and efficient. A shared host will keep your site up and running on a server with a few to thousands of other websites.

Shared web hosts have an opponent. This opponent is called clustered web hosting. While using a clustered host, your website will run on multiple servers. All of these servers will be working with only your site to make sure that you are always up and running.

A spin off of the clustered host is the dedicated host. With a dedicated host, your site will run on a server that works for only your site, instead of sharing a server and instead of having to use multiple servers to run it. Dedicated hosting offers complete control to the webmaster, which means that in order to use a dedicated host successfully, you need to know quite a bit about web hosting.

Another type of web hosting is managed web hosting. A managed host in lemans terms, is like a rental property. You don’t have full control of your site on a managed host. The domain space is leased to you for a certain amount of time, and the web hosting service provider actually maintains the site for you. In order to make changes to your site, it is required that you call the customer service or tech support line.

As with any web hosting service provider, research and knowledge are very important. Know what you want and what you’re getting into before choosing a web hosting company. Understand that there are certain benefits that come along with every web host and that you have the ability to choose the web host that will work the best for you. Only you know what you need, so check out multiple companies while you are in the decision making process.

Different Types of Web Hosting

author Posted by: James Norris | filed Filed under: Hosting Tips & Advice

 

There are several different types of web hosts available today. Some of the most common types include free web hosting, shared web hosting and dedicated web hosting.

Free web hosting is by far the easiest to come by. It doesn’t cost a cent and allows you to express yourself using the Internet. If you are just starting out, work with a free host for a while to get your hands wet in the web development world. Free web hosts are fantastic for beginners, but they offer few features and a lot of limitations for those who are more advanced.

For starters, free web hosts offer minimal disk space and bandwidth. This limits the number of files you are able to upload and decreases the allowed traffic flow per month. Most free web hosts do not allow you to use your own web developing programs and do not support flash applications. Free web hosts are also not secure so if you use one, the likelihood of your website being spammed is greatly increased.

Shared web hosting is also very popular, and still on the cheap side. If you are looking to run a quality website while spending a small amount of money each month, shared web hosting is the way to go. Shared web hosting is so inexpensive because the server your website runs on is shared with a multitude of other webmasters. Each of the webmasters pays a portion of the cost to use the server.

With a shared web host, you don’t have to worry about upgrading software or managing your website. The support team that runs the server does all of the tough work for you. Most web hosts offer 24-hour customer service and technical support. Most shared web-hosting companies also offer security, e-mail and shopping carts for their customers using the server for e-commerce. All you really need with a shared web host is the creativity and ability to express yourself or your business.

The disadvantages of running your site on a shared server are limited to low disk space, low search engine optimization and low bandwidth. Basically, shared hosts offer limited features. If you are expecting a lot of traffic or are planning on using your site for e-commerce, a dedicated web host will probably work best for you.

Dedicated web hosting is the third most common type of web hosting. A dedicated host costs the most, but it doesn’t have to empty your wallet each month. With a dedicated web host, you are guaranteed security and stability. You most likely will never have to worry about server downtime, as your server belongs to you and only you. Dedicated servers offer SSL (secure sockets layer) and FTP (file transfer protocol), which allow for the secure transfer of personal information and files through the Internet from one computer to another. The only downfalls that come along with a dedicated web host are the high cost and the required knowledge it takes to keep up with site management and software.

Make sure you research multiple web hosting companies before choosing whom to commit to. No matter which way you choose to go, you should always be happy with the decision you make and the company you choose to work with
