web hosting-what,where,why

by Josip K. website owner
The very concept of web hosting, we can not accurately describe and define a single sentence, because today there are many different types of web hosting. What are all characterized by the ability to store data to make them available via the Internet.

In most cases our end users to the Internet web site, web portals, blogs, forums ... accessible to a wide range of visitors, ie those who have Internet access.
What characterizes a quality hosting provider?

Every serious web hosting service provider must ensure that their servers are housed in specially adapted premises are provided to wrap the smooth operation:

    
Primarily UPS (alternate source of electricity) as well as ensuring that the server will work if the power goes out with the primary sources
    
Regularly back up your data (backup) in case of mechanical failure on their part, of course, that he can work at your request and in most cases, additional charge
    
Orderly and smooth operation of air conditioners to temperature was low and of course the use of filters for air purification of the various particles of dirt
    
Firefighting
    
Technical service is available 24/7, which in a very short time to every problem can quickly respond
    
Good complex network, reliable and fast Internet access, and of course an alternative in case of failure of some

These are all things that end users can not be achieved on a computer connected at home. From this fact can conclude for yourself that you can host your site, but a solid addition to the upload speed you should have a static IP address, which will cost you extra. Therefore, it is safer and better option to rent a hosting package that will take care of someone else instead of you.
What are all types of web hosting available?

I begin by noting that apart from direct sales by hosting providers who have their own datacenters, there are companies that are engaged in resale. Which of course is not anything wrong but if a company that resells the beneficial owner of the farm servers have good communication that can affect the very quality of service. Also you can conclude that the reseller service itself will be more expensive because they have to earn something. It all depends on what you need web hosting, what type of project you want to run it, how much will be required for the servers, the amount of data, scripts weight, number of visits ... definitely do not throw money at a set of solutions for them if the start will be no need,

The two most common platforms used for hosting Windows and Linux where you depending on the needs and the technologies used to choose one platform that suits you best.

Below I will list a sequence of web hosting solutions for complexity, or the quality and price.

Free Web Hosting

Free web hosting in most cases financed by advertising or other similar methods that will be placed on your site. This hosting is very behind in quality compared to some solutions that are paid.

Shared Web Hosting

This would be one of the most popular web hosting solutions which are on a server located thousands of pages (hosting package). This means that other web sites are sharing the processing power, memory, hard disk space, Internet connection, the IP address of the package ... usually some sort of control over administraciskg panel (usually cPanel). Some defects such as hosting and what share the same IP address with a large number of users and if one of the users are constantly a source of malicious software can happen to you some of the Internet search engine neglect. In these cases the good old "Who are you that you are." Also available will be determined by the percentage of server resources, and if they exceed or can be locked at best advised from the start. Consequently, if someone overloaded server to be reflected on your website.

Reseller Web Hosting

One is slightly less popular reseller web hosting package that usually comes with WHM panel that actually create shared hosting packages.

Virtual Private Servers VPS

Virtual Private Servers package is common among users who are demanding for a web project capabilities outgrown shared web hosting because they need more RAM, more CPU power, space. It would actually be something shared between Web & Hosting and dedicated servers, because you get your own operating system in a virtual environment where the server power (prcesor, working memory, obscenities, ...) divided into smaller users only ten, and therefore you are guaranteed a certain server resources . Unlike shared web hosting where a thousand users on a single server.

Dedicated Servers

Less popular, but not because of quality and what they provide but for the price of dedicated servers. Lease of this package you get a whole physical server configuration which you can agree to your liking. This option often used by companies that have heavily visited Web sites or companies that want to have your own server to re-sell on your own web hosting packages.
Colocation

Colocation is similar to the dedicated server, because it has the entire physical server. The point is to buy your own server / server-based process in a place where you pay transport, Internet access, or accommodation. The idea is not bad if it is based process, which is located close to you, because the maintenance work themselves in the event of failure of technicians datacenter where your server is located you can cost you dearly if you are unable to come and repair the defect.

Clustered Hosting

The least used of all the high prices. But unlike other offers great performance and features, because it is related to several servers, each performing a different part. One instance handles HTTP requests, others are concerned about MySQL / MSSQL database or any third party, on the third multimedia files ... so it is a complex and expensive hosting package most hosting customers such as large companies within their own intranet or the Internet.


Offers web hosting packages is really varied up to you to decide what you need and what are your options, ranging from finance to the ability to design your website or business expand in the enviable time it will ask for a better hosting solution.
