What Precisely is Shared Web Hosting?

The most fundamental and widely utilized variety of web hosting is the website hosting solution. It's a way to host your web portal without having to understand much about programming and operating a web hosting server. Furthermore, it's also the most inexpensive type of website hosting and it's in fact affordable for everyone. Nonetheless, what is website hosting?

What is website hosting?

As the name designates, the website hosting solution is a form of service where multiple customers share the system resources of the same web hosting server. This suggests that all server ingredients like CPU, hard drives, RAM, network cards and so on, are distributed among the customers whose accounts are on that same hosting server. This is typically made tenable by opening separate accounts for the separate customers and assigning certain limitations and resource usage quotas for each of them. Those restrictions are allocated in order to restrain the clients from meddling with each other's accounts and, of course, to hinder the hosting server from overburdening. Usually, website hosting customers do not have root-level access to the web server's configuration files, which principally implies that they do not have access to anything else on the hosting server beside their own website page hosting account. The website hosting features that each account may avail of are set by the hosting corporation that possesses the hosting server and by the respective website hosting package. That brings about the second vital question:

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

Hosting vendors that furnish website hosting packages normally have various web hosting packages. Those packages offer different quotas of hosting resources and specifications, which in fact define the limitations that a web hosting plan will include. The user may choose between the individual web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he thinks will befit him best. The website hosting plan will then define what restrictions the customer's account will have, once set up. The costs and the specifications of the website hosting packages are chosen by the specific hosting distributor. Depending on the politics of the firm, the website hosting solution can be divided into 2 groups - the free hosting service and the popular shared solution, most recently very popular among "cPanel hosting" merchandisers as a cloud web hosting one. It's not possible to declare, which one is more preferable, since they are quite different from one another and they actually are determined by the marketing policy of the given provider and, of course, the requirements of the specific client.

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

Of course, the chief difference between the free of charge and the paid service is in the quantity of resources that they involve. Free web hosting corporations are not able to keep an enormous amount of web servers, hence, they merely accommodate more users on a single web hosting server by lowering the amount of system resources provided by the accounts. This will be efficient only if the web servers are supervised and dealt with properly, since the big number of accounts may causer the web server to crash frequently. Most of the free hosting suppliers, however, overlook the quality of the service and hence, it's quite difficult to find a free of charge web hosting solution that's actually worth the time. The top free hosting companies commonly provide free technical support even to the free web hosting users, since they want their web pages to grow bigger so that they subsequently upgrade to a paid web hosting package, which offers more website hosting resources. One such provider, for example, is FreeHostia.com, which is among the largest and eldest free website hosting distributors worldwide.

At the same time, traditional website hosting corporations like us, are able to maintain plenty of web hosting servers and therefore, we are able to provide much more powerful website hosting plans. Of course, that affects the cost of the web hosting plans. Paying a higher price for a website hosting account, though, does not necessarily mean that this package has a finer quality. The most advantageous solutions are the balanced ones, which involve a fee that matches the actual service which you're obtaining. Furthermore, we also give a free extra with the web hosting plan, like the 1-click applications installer, complemented with 100's of free-of-charge website layouts. As a hosting corporation, we do look after our good name and that is the reason why if you pick us, you can be confident that you won't get deceived into buying a service that you cannot in fact make use of.

What should I anticipate from a website hosting solution?

The website hosting solution is best for people who desire to host a basic web page, which is going to utilize a small or medium amount of web traffic each month. You cannot anticipate, however, that a website hosting account will be sufficient for your needs, since as your business gets bigger, your web site will become more and more resource consuming. Therefore, you will have to eventually upgrade to a more feature-rich web hosting service such as a semi-dedicated web hosting, a VPS web hosting (aka a private virtual web hosting server, or VPS), or even a dedicated web hosting. So, when choosing a web hosting vendor, you should also consider scalability, otherwise you might end up relocating your domain manually to a separate provider, which can bring about site predicaments and even continuous downtime for your web site. If you choose Dsquad Hosting as your hosting provider, you can rest safe that we can present you with the needed domain name and hosting services as you grow bigger, is essential and will save you a lot of troubles in the long run.
