What Indeed is Shared Website Hosting?
The most standard and regularly used variety of web hosting is the hosting solution. It's a way to host your web portal without having to be much informed about programming and managing a server. In addition, it's also the most inexpensive form of website hosting and it's very affordable for everyone. However, what is hosting?
What is hosting?
As the name implies, the hosting service is a form of service where many customers share the system resources of one and the same hosting server. This denotes that all hosting server constituents such as CPU, hard disk drives, RAM, network cards and so on, are distributed among the clients whose accounts are on that same web server. This is mostly rendered accomplishable by opening different accounts for the different customers and applying specific restrictions and resource usage quotas for each of them. Those restrictions are applied in order to prevent the users from interfering with each other's accounts and, of course, to prevent the web server from overloading. Typically, hosting clients do not have complete root-level access to the hosting server's configuration files, which principally goes to say that they do not have access to anything else on the hosting server but their very own website hosting account. The web hosting features that each account may avail of are determined by the web hosting firm that possesses the web server and by the respective website hosting package. That results in the second vital question:
How are the shared hosting web servers shared among the customers?
Hosting distributors that offer hosting services usually have diverse website hosting packages. Those plans contain different amounts of website hosting resources and specs, which in fact determine the limitations that a website hosting package will have. The user may choose between the individual web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he thinks will suit him best. The hosting package will then determine what restrictions the client's account will have, once set up. The costs and the specs of the web hosting packages are chosen by the given hosting corporation. Based on the policy of the firm, the hosting solution can be divided into 2 groups - the free hosting service and the standard shared solution, most recently very popular among "cPanel hosting" wholesalers as a cloud web hosting one. It's not possible to assert, which one is better, since they are quite different from one another and they actually are subject to the business strategy of the given company and, of course, the needs of the particular user.
What is the distinction between the free of cost and the standard hosting service?
Of course, the principal difference between the free of cost and the paid solution is in the quantity of resources that they provide. Free website hosting suppliers are not able to maintain a big number of web servers, hence, they merely host more customers on one hosting server by reducing the quantity of resources provided by the accounts. This will be effective only if the web servers are kept under surveillance and maintained appropriately, because the immense number of accounts may causer the web server to crash on a regular basis. The majority of the free website hosting suppliers, though, overlook the quality of the service and as a result, it's very difficult to find a free website hosting service that's actually worth the effort. The top free hosting suppliers usually offer free technical support even to the free hosting clients, since they want their sites to enlarge so that they subsequently move to a paid web hosting package, which offers more web hosting features. One such corporation, for instance, is FreeHostia.com, which is among the biggest and eldest free web hosting suppliers in the world.
At the same time, traditional hosting suppliers such as us, may afford to keep a lot of web servers and hence, we may afford to provide much more powerful web hosting packages. Of course, that affects the pricing of the web hosting plans. Paying a higher fee for a website hosting account, though, does not necessarily imply that this package has a finer quality. The most advantageous services are the balanced ones, which involve a price that matches the concrete service which you're obtaining. Furthermore, we also give a free bonus with the website hosting package, such as the 1-click applications installer, accompanied by hundreds of cost-free templates. As a website hosting corporation, we do worry about our reputation and that is the reason why if you choose us, you can be calm that you won't get hoaxed into purchasing a package that you cannot actually avail of.
What should I anticipate from a hosting service?
The hosting service is best for people who are looking to host a standard website, which is going to swallow a small or medium amount of bandwidth every month. You cannot expect, however, that a hosting account will last you a lifetime, because as your business grows, your website will become more and more resource consuming. Hence, you will have to eventually migrate to a more feature-rich web hosting service like a semi-dedicated servers, a VPS (also known as a private virtual hosting server, or VPS), or even a dedicated server. So, when selecting a web hosting supplier, you should also consider scalability, otherwise you might end up moving your domain manually to a separate provider, which can create web site problems and even continuous downtime for your site. If you select Hepsia as your website hosting vendor, you can rest safe that we can provide you with the required domain name and hosting services as you get bigger, is vital and will save you a lot of predicaments in the future.
