BEGINNERS GUIDE TO WEBHOSTING AND THE VARIOUS OPTIONS

Web hosting is the service that enables websites to be posted on the internet. The service provider that carries out such a task is called a web host, and it permits the viewing of sites on the internet by storing them on servers. After typing a specific website address on a browser, a user’s computer is connected to the server that stores the site. The website is then delivered to the user through the browser. There are varying types of hosting services or packages available, and an individual or organisation has to evaluate their features, pros and cons before picking one that is best suited to their needs.

Shared Hosting

Here, a website is hosted along with thousands of others because the server is a shared resource in this instance. The top advantage of this hosting arrangement is that it is very affordable. However, there are security and performance issues when considering a shared hosting plan because any incident that takes place to a single site affects the rest.

Managed Hosting

It is a form of hosting where a dedicated server is allocated to a single site, and a hosting solution provider manages it for the web page owner. Management implies taking responsibility for the operating system, virus protection, operating system and all other critical aspects. The site owner has absolute control over the content of the website and usually has to pay a considerably large amount to procure managed hosting services.

Cloud Hosting

Technology has made it feasible for hundreds of individual servers to work together in what seems like a single giant server. Proponents of this idea are of the opinion that a hosting company can simply add commodity hardware to make a larger cloud or grid if it becomes necessary due to growing needs. Users of this hosting plan have the advantage of surge protection- the provider will not shut down certain websites due to unusually large traffic. Also, using this hosting plan allows users to only pay for the resources they need.

Dedicated Server Hosting

It’s a plan that features the hosting of a user’s site or collection of web pages, which means more control. Websites are also never affected by the activities of other sites. A dedicated server plan is often costly but is perfect for sites that receive huge traffic levels or those that require extra security.

Virtual Private Server VPS

This web hosting solution features the use of a single server that acts like several of them. A virtual private server VPS is a stepping stone between a shared hosting and dedicated plans. The top merits of this arrangement are that the numbers of sites on a single server are few and the hosting services are affordable.
