As the name designates, the website hosting solution is a form of service where numerous clients share the system reserves of one and the same web hosting server. This indicates that all web server ingredients like CPU, hard disks, RAM, network cards etc. are apportioned among the clients whose accounts are on that same web hosting server. This is typically rendered accomplishable by creating different accounts for the separate clients and imposing given limits and quotas for each of them. Those restrictions are appointed so as to restrain the clients from interfering with each other's accounts and, of course, to prevent the web hosting server from overburdening. Normally, website hosting users do not have complete root access to the web hosting server's configuration files, which principally indicates that they cannot access anything else on the hosting server aside from their own personal hosting account. The web hosting resources that each account may avail of are determined by the hosting corporation that owns the hosting server and by the particular website hosting package. That causes the second essential question:

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

Hosting corporations that furnish website hosting solutions commonly have various website hosting plans. Those packages contain different quotas of website hosting resources and specs, which actually fix the restrictions that a hosting plan will include. The user may pick between the separate web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he deems will suit him best. The web hosting plan will then determine what restrictions the client's account will involve, once opened. The costs and the features of the web hosting plans are specified by the specific web hosting supplier. Based on the policy of the vendor, the website hosting solution falls into 2 groups - the free hosting service and the classic shared solution, currently very famous among "cPanel hosting" merchandisers as a cloud web hosting one. It's not possible to announce, which one is better, since they are quite different from each other and they actually depend on the marketing policy of the specific supplier and, of course, the demands of the specific client.

What is the distinction between the free of cost and the regular website hosting solution?

Of course, the chief difference between the free and the paid service is in the quantity of features that they provide. Free website hosting companies are not capable of keeping an enormous amount of hosting servers, therefore, they plainly host more clients on a single web server by reducing the quantity of resources offered by the accounts. This will be effective only if the servers are monitored and handled appropriately, since the immense amount of accounts may make the web hosting server crash on a regular basis. Most of the free website hosting firms, however, neglect the quality of the service and hence, it's very hard to discover a free web hosting solution that's in fact worth the time. The top free hosting firms normally provide free technical support even to the free web hosting clients, since they want their websites to get bigger so that they eventually migrate to a paid website hosting account, which includes more website hosting features. Such provider, for instance, is FreeHostia.com, which is one of the biggest and oldest free web hosting vendors worldwide.

On the other hand, traditional website hosting companies such as us, are able to keep lots of servers and hence, we are able to offer much more feature-rich website hosting packages. Of course, that reflects on the pricing of the web hosting packages. Paying a higher fee for a website hosting plan, though, does not necessarily signify that this solution has a finer quality. The best solutions are the balanced ones, which involve a fee that matches the actual service which you're obtaining. What's more, we also give a free bonus with the hosting package, such as the 1-click applications installer, accompanied by hundreds of cost-free web site themes. As a web hosting provider, we do worry about our good name and that is the reason why if you go with us, you can be confident that you won't get fooled into purchasing a solution that you cannot in fact avail of.

What should I anticipate from a website hosting service?

The website hosting service is best for persons who desire to host a basic web site, which is going to swallow a small or medium amount of bandwidth each month. You cannot anticipate, however, that a website hosting account will be sufficient for your needs, because as your business grows bigger, your web site will become more and more resource consuming. So, you will have to ultimately move to a more feature-rich hosting solution like a semi-dedicated web hosting, a VPS web hosting (a.k.a. a private virtual web server, or VPS), or even a dedicated web hosting. So, when choosing a web hosting supplier, you should also consider scalability, or else you might end up relocating your domain manually to a separate company, which can bring about web site predicaments and even continued downtime for your web portal. If you pick Dsquad Hosting as your website hosting supplier, you can rest safe that we can supply you with the needed domain name and hosting services as you grow bigger, is crucial and will save you lots of headaches in the future.
