Types Of Web Hosting Explained with thier features
For would be website owners and authors, uploading
your files to the server maybe as simple as it sounds but it goes beyond
that. The time spent in uploading files is the tip of the ice berg.
Choosing an efficient web hosting company can make or break your
website. The web hosting company is the backbone of the data that you
are asking them to keep. This data needs to be available all the time at
break neck speed connections. Mistakenly chose a web host that is not
capable of doing the job and the site is bound for the graves. Even if
it has the best content and graphics if the web host cannot deliver the
demands of the site, it will all be at lost.
Different Types of Web Hosting
Shared Web Hosting
By the word shared this means there is a sharing
of website on a single server. This type of package is most common
amongst less demanding websites that are more on text and little on
graphics. This web hosting package shares the hardware and the
connections to the other websites being hosted on the server. This
website can range from a couple of hundreds to the tens of thousands
that will be sharing for the hardware. The website that is being hosted
at this type of web hosting is bounded by a quota of hard disk space and
bandwidth. Since there are many websites that are hosted in the server,
a client should expect that the website could lag due to the server's
slower response time.
Virtual Private Server Hosting
This type of web hosting is just like the shared
hosting package that shares the hardware resources of the web server but
this provides the clients more control of the website. The data are
still stored on the same computer but with lesser hosted websites since
the hard disk of the host server is partitioned to each website. This
process in turn can dedicate an individual Internet Protocol or IP
address to each partition.
Reseller Web Hosting
Commonly a reseller web hosting package is similar
to shared web hosting. They are just called reseller since this goes
through a third party booking and not the web host company itself. There
are web hosting companies that offer discounts to resellers who are
typically website designers and authors that include web hosting as part
of their services.
Dedicated Web Hosting
This type of web hosting is the most
expensive type of web hosting package. Since dedicated hosting handles
only one website per server, the website owner absorbs all the cost in
maintaining the website such as power, hardware, line connection and
technical personnel - unlike in Shared and Virtual Private Server
Hosting wherein the cost can spread out to the websites that are leasing
the server. This package is advisable for demanding website parameters
such as e-commerce and customer relations management sites that are data
intensive and a slow connection would mean loss sales.
