What is Hosting?

Hosting is a kind of Internet service that allows individuals and organizations to make their web sites accessible on the web. Hosting providers are firms that offer storage space on a web server placed in a datacenter facility and ensure uninterrupted website accessibility.

Where do you begin?

The World Wide Web is a vital part of every person's daily life. It offers you the ability to gain a bit of cash on the side, but can also be a major source of income. In order to display ads on your site or to popularize a commodity that you sell, you always need a hosting solution, which will make certain that your online portal is protected and constantly visible. But how do you discover one that is inexpensive and yet dependable enough?

The shared web hosting solution

The solution hosting vendors have come up with is called shared web hosting. With the shared hosting solution, multiple customers are accommodated on the very same server. There are rigorous limits on the resources that each hosting account can actually utilize, thus ensuring that they do not intervene with each other. The shared solution offers decent performance and is less expensive than, let's say, a dedicated web server, which is utilized by only one user. The shared hosting solution allows hosting suppliers to offer their clients moderate prices. It ordinarily comes with user-friendly hosting Control Panel software, as is the case with the server that we at TECHNOMERCE provide, and permits everyone to administer their websites without worrying about server setup and maintenance procedures, which are entirely taken care of by the hosting accounts provider.

VPS hosting

With the VPS hosting solution, on the other hand, you share a physical server with other private virtual server clients, but you are allocated a dedicated share of the system resources. The VPS server web hosting solution is the middle ground between the much less expensive shared hosting solution and the more high-priced dedicated web server solution, and is a very good solution for anyone who desires to set up, for example, an audio or video streaming web site or a community web site. The fact that you need to take care of the server configuration settings and software updates yourself is somewhat of a weakness, but this could also be a huge upside if you really have to implement certain server configuration changes - something that would be impossible on a shared server.

Dedicated Servers

Dedicated servers are in most situations much more high-priced than shared or VPS server web hosting solutions. You might ask why would anyone use a dedicated hosting web server then? The answer is very simple. If your firm has a resource-swallowing web portal, or simply has very special web server configuration and security requirements, the smartest choice is a dedicated web hosting server that you or your technicians can manage directly. For somebody who is inclined to invest in safety and stability, the higher price is not a problem. You receive root access and can use 100 percent of the dedicated hosting server's resources without anyone else using these system resources and meddling with your online portals.
