Web Hosting

A web hosting service provides the technologies needed to host a website and other internet-based applications. Server space is leased out based on disk space and bandwidth allocation to website owners. When a domain name is entered on any browser, it fetches information and data off the website from the server where it’s hosted.

To procure web hosting, you do not need to fully understand the technicalities of web hosting. All you need to know is how to manage your website from your control panel. Most of the technical aspects of web hosting will be executed behind the scenes with little to no input from you. They’ll also provide support whenever you’re faced with any complex issues.

This type of hosting involves many websites making use of a single server provided by a web host.

The reason for the popularity of shared server packages is the cost. Since many websites share the same server, they get to share the cost of maintaining it. This is why shared server packages are usually the entry level hosting packages at most web hosting providers.

Shared hosting may be affordable but it is not always the optimal choice. If a single website on the server experiences high traffic, for instance, this will slow down the performance of the entire server and worsen the page load speed for other websites on it.  Additionally, malware, virus, and DDOS attacks targeted at a single website can affect other websites on the same server. Shared hosting plans also usually come with limits on how you can use server resources. Once you start pushing these limits, you will have to choose a better hosting plan or risk having your site going offline.

For most accounts, hosting providers allocate certain disk space and bandwidth size. However, bandwidth size is unlimited for shared server accounts with some web hosts. The disk space and bandwidth you need will be determined by the kind of website you’re looking to host as well as the size of your user base.

The most important things you should look for in a web host include:

a)       At least 99.9% uptime

b)      Reliable technical support

c)       Regular updates

You can find out if they pass the mark by going through user reviews. Other factors that you should look at include pricing, scalability, and technical specifications.

The main drawback of dedicated server hosting is its expensive nature. However, there are other issues including dependence on hosting provider for support.

The advantages of using a dedicated server are numerous. You’ll get to enjoy enhanced speed, autonomy over allocating server resources and higher security. Security risks are also lower in comparison to shared hosting.
