An explanation of site hosting

The most fundamental and popularly used variety of web hosting is the shared web hosting solution. It represents a way to host your site without having to be much informed about programming and administrating a hosting server. In addition, it's also the cheapest type of website hosting and it's very affordable for everyone. Nevertheless, what is shared hosting?

What is shared website hosting?

As the name indicates, the shared web hosting service is a type of service where lots of clients share the reserves of one and the same web server. This suggests that all hosting server constituents such as CPU, hard disk drives, RAM, network interface cards etc. are allocated among the users whose accounts are on that very same web hosting server. This is typically made attainable by setting up different accounts for the separate customers and appointing specific limitations and usage quotas for each of them. Those limitations are applied in order to hinder the customers from interfering with each other's accounts and, of course, to prevent the web hosting server from overburdening. Normally, shared web site hosting customers do not have root access to the web hosting server's config files, which essentially implies that they cannot access anything else on the server beside their own shared hosting account. The web page hosting features that each account may utilize are determined by the hosting vendor that owns the hosting server and by the particular web hosting package. That entails the second vital question:

How are the shared hosting servers split among the clients?

Hosting corporations that provide shared web space hosting accounts usually have different web hosting plans. Those packages provide diverse quotas of website hosting features and specs, which in fact determine the limitations that a web hosting account will include. The client may select between the individual web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he believes will suit him best. The web hosting plan will then determine what restrictions the user's account will include, once created. The costs and the specs of the webspace hosting plans are specified by the particular web hosting provider. Depending on the politics of the firm, the shared web hosting service falls into 2 categories - the free hosting solution and the popular shared service, most recently very popular among "cPanel hosting" vendors as a cloud web hosting one. It's impossible to assert, which one is more preferable, since they are quite different from one another and they indeed are determined by the marketing tactics of the particular firm and, of course, the needs of the given customer.

What is the distinction between the free of charge and the typical shared web hosting solution?

Of course, the essential difference between the free and the paid service is in the quantity of features that they include. Free hosting distributors are not able to maintain an immense amount of hosting servers, hence, they just accommodate more customers on one single web hosting server by lowering the amount of system resources offered by the accounts. This will be effective only if the hosting servers are monitored and dealt with properly, since the big amount of accounts may make the server crash time and time again. The majority of the free site hosting providers, however, ignore the quality of the service and therefore, it's very difficult to find a free of charge website hosting solution that's in fact worth the time. The top free hosting suppliers typically offer free customer support even to the free web site hosting clients, because they want their sites to get bigger so that they eventually migrate to a paid site hosting plan, which offers more website hosting resources. Such corporation, for instance, is FreeHostia.com, which is among the biggest and oldest free webspace hosting companies worldwide.

At the same time, established shared web hosting companies such as Exclusive Hosting, for example, are able to keep lots of hosting servers and so, they are able to offer much more feature-rich hosting packages. Of course, that affects the pricing of the web hosting plans. Paying a higher fee for a web hosting package, however, does not automatically denote that this solution has a finer quality. The most optimal solutions are the balanced ones, which involve a price that matches the real service which you're obtaining. The top-notch web space hosting providers that have been around for a long time are listing their prices and plan specifications in a realistic manner, so that the client may be aware of what exactly he is obtaining. Furthermore, some of these offer a free extra with the site hosting plan, like the 1-click applications installer, accompanied by hundreds of free-of-cost web site layouts that are supplied by 'Exclusive Hosting'. Such web site hosting vendors do worry about their good name and this is the reason why if you choose them, you can rest confident that you won't get duped into buying an account that you cannot actually avail of.

What should I anticipate from a shared web space hosting service?

The shared hosting solution is best for persons who desire to host an average site, which is going to devour a small or medium amount of traffic every month. You cannot expect, however, that a shared webspace hosting account will be sufficient for your needs, since as your business gets bigger, your web page will become more and more resource consuming. Hence, you will have to eventually move to a more feature-rich site hosting solution such as a semi-dedicated server, a VPS (also known as a private virtual web hosting server, or VPS), or why not a dedicated server. So, when selecting a web space hosting distributor, you should also consider how they can be of service to you, otherwise you might end up moving your domain name manually to a separate vendor, which can create site predicaments and even extended downtime for your web portal. So, choosing a hosting provider such as 'Exclusive Hosting', which can present you with the needed domain name and hosting services as you grow, is essential and will spare you a lot of difficulties in the future.
