An interpretation of web site hosting

The most principal and widely utilized kind of web hosting is the shared web hosting solution. It's a way to host your web site without having to understand much about programming and handling a web hosting server. In addition to this, it's also the cheapest form of web page hosting and it's very affordable for anybody. However, what is shared website hosting?

What is shared web space hosting?

As the name designates, the shared web hosting solution is a type of service where a lot of customers share the system resources of the same web server. This denotes that all server components such as CPU, hard drives, RAM, NICs and so on, are distributed among the customers whose accounts are on that same web hosting server. This is usually made achievable by creating separate accounts for the separate users and appointing some limits and quotas for each of them. Those restrictions are allocated in order to prevent the customers from meddling with each other's accounts and, of course, to prevent the web server from overloading. Typically, shared web space hosting clients do not have complete root access to the hosting server's config files, which basically implies that they do not have access to anything else on the web server beside their own personal hosting account. The site hosting features that each account may use are set by the web hosting distributor that owns the web hosting server and by the respective webspace hosting plan. That paves the way for the second essential question:

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

Web hosting companies that supply shared web space hosting plans typically have different webspace hosting plans. Those packages contain different amounts of web hosting resources and specs, which in fact determine the restrictions that a web hosting account will have. The client may choose between the separate web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he deems will fit him best. The web site hosting plan will then define what limitations the client's account will have, once created. The costs and the features of the web site hosting packages are defined by the actual hosting provider. Based on the policy of the supplier, the shared webspace hosting solution can be divided into 2 categories - the free hosting solution and the typical shared service, most recently very popular among "cPanel hosting" retailers as a cloud web hosting one. It's not possible to allege, which one is better, since they are quite different from one another and they really are determined by the marketing policy of the given corporation and, of course, the requirements of the specific user.

What is the contrast between the free of cost and the standard shared hosting solution?

Of course, the primary difference between the free and the paid service is in the amount of features that they contain. Free site hosting distributors are not able to maintain a huge number of web hosting servers, hence, they simply host more clients on one server by decreasing the quantity of resources offered by the accounts. This will be efficient only on condition that the web servers are supervised and maintained appropriately, because the big number of accounts may make the hosting server crash on a regular basis. The majority of the free web hosting providers, however, ignore the quality of the service and as a result, it's quite difficult to come across a free site hosting solution that's actually worth the effort. The top free hosting corporations usually provide free customer support even to the free website hosting clients, since they want their web portals to expand so that they eventually move to a paid web space hosting plan, which offers more web space hosting resources. One such corporation, for example, is FreeHostia.com, which is one of the largest and eldest free web hosting vendors worldwide.

At the same time, traditional shared web hosting suppliers such as Asmartdomain, for instance, may afford to maintain multiple servers and so, they may afford to offer much more feature-rich site hosting plans. Of course, that influences the pricing of the web hosting plans. Paying a higher fee for a hosting plan, though, does not automatically mean that this solution has a better quality. The most advantageous services are the balanced ones, which offer a fee that matches the real service which you're receiving. The top website hosting providers that have been around for quite some time are showing their prices and package specifications in a realistic fashion, so that the customer may know what indeed he is obtaining. Moreover, some of them give a free bonus with the web site hosting plan, like the 1-click applications installer, complemented with hundreds of free web page layouts that are provided by 'Asmartdomain'. Such web space hosting suppliers do look after their reputation and that is the reason why if you choose them, you can rest certain that you won't get duped into paying for a service that you cannot actually utilize.

What should I expect from a shared web hosting service?

The shared web space hosting solution is best for individuals who wish to host a standard site, which is going to use a small or medium amount of bandwidth each month. You cannot anticipate, however, that a shared hosting account will be sufficient for your needs, since as your business grows, your website will become more and more demanding. Hence, you will have to ultimately upgrade to a more feature-rich website hosting solution like a semi-dedicated server, a VPS (aka a private virtual web hosting server, or VPS), or why not a dedicated server. Therefore, when selecting a site hosting distributor, you should also consider how they can be of service to you, otherwise you might end up transferring your domain name manually to a separate vendor, which can cause website problems and even extended downtime for your web portal. Therefore, choosing a web site hosting company such as 'Asmartdomain', which can provide you with the required domain name and hosting services as you get bigger, is essential and will spare you a lot of difficulties in the long run.
