Shared Website Hosting Uncovered

The most standard and widely availed of form of web hosting is the hosting service. It's a means to host your web page without having to be much informed about programming and handling a hosting server. In addition to this, it's also the most economical type of web hosting and it's in fact affordable for everyone. However, what is hosting?

What is hosting?

As the name designates, the hosting service is a sort of service where lots of clients share the system reserves of the same server. This means that all web hosting server elements such as CPU, hard drives, RAM, network interface cards etc. are shared among the clients whose accounts are on that same hosting server. This is mainly rendered possible by creating different accounts for the separate clients and assigning given limitations and usage quotas for each of them. Those limits are applied so as to restrain the users from interfering with each other's accounts and, of course, to prevent the server from overburdening. Typically, hosting users do not have root-level access to the hosting server's config files, which principally suggests that they do not have access to anything else on the web server but their own web hosting account. The website hosting features that each account may use are set by the hosting company that owns the web hosting server and by the respective web hosting plan. That paves the way for the second important question:

How are the shared web hosting servers split among the clients?

Web hosting firms that distribute hosting solutions commonly have various website hosting packages. Those plans contain different quotas of web hosting resources and specs, which in fact set the restrictions that a website hosting plan will have. The client may select between the different web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he deems will suit him best. The web hosting plan will then define what limits the customer's account will involve, once set up. The prices and the specifications of the web hosting packages are set by the actual hosting company. Based on the policy of the firm, the hosting solution can be divided into 2 groups - the free hosting service and the normal shared solution, most recently very popular among "cPanel hosting" corporations as a cloud web hosting one. It's not possible to tell, which one is more preferable, since they are very different from each other and they actually are dependent on the business tactics of the specific corporation and, of course, the requirements of the particular customer.

What is the distinction between the free of cost and the typical hosting service?

Of course, the chief difference between the free of cost and the paid solution is in the quantity of resources that they offer. Free website hosting firms are not able to keep an immense number of hosting servers, therefore, they merely host more users on one hosting server by lowering the amount of system resources offered by the accounts. This will be efficient only if the web hosting servers are supervised and handled properly, since the enormous number of accounts may cause the hosting server to crash time and time again. The majority of the free website hosting companies, however, neglect the quality of the service and hence, it's quite difficult to come across a free web hosting service that's in fact worth the effort. The top free hosting suppliers typically offer free client support even to the free website hosting clients, because they want their sites to expand so that they subsequently move to a paid web hosting plan, which offers more website hosting resources. One such company, for instance, is FreeHostia.com, which is one of the largest and eldest free website hosting companies worldwide.

At the same time, established hosting corporations like us, are able to keep lots of servers and so, we may afford to offer much more feature-rich website hosting plans. Of course, that influences the cost of the web hosting plans. Paying a higher fee for a hosting solution, though, does not necessarily imply that this service has a finer quality. The best services are the balanced ones, which offer a fee that matches the actual service which you're obtaining. Moreover, we also give a free bonus with the website hosting plan, such as the 1-click applications installer, accompanied by hundreds of gratis web page themes. As a web hosting distributor, we do care about our reputation and that is the reason why if you go with us, you can rest assured that you won't get duped into buying a package that you cannot actually use.

What should I anticipate from a hosting solution?

The hosting solution is best for those who wish to host a basic web page, which is going to generate a small or medium amount of bandwidth each month. You cannot expect, though, that a hosting account will last you a lifetime, because as your business gets bigger, your site will become more and more resource consuming. Hence, you will have to eventually migrate to a more feature-rich web hosting solution such as a semi-dedicated servers, a VPS (a.k.a. a virtual server, or VPS), or even a dedicated server. So, when picking a website hosting company, you should also think about scalability, or else you might end up transferring your domain manually to a different distributor, which can bring about site troubles and even extended downtime for your website.
