As we are well aware of it, majority of things happen online now. People purchase goods, do flight / hotel booking, network with friends, connect to relatives, learn courses, or even find their life partners through internet. If we consider the development over the last couple of decades, there is a surge of online portals, starting from the static web pages in the 90s to the most interactive graphical interfaces now. There are millions of new website getting registering day by day. As a faster developing nation, India also keeps up high in this internet rush.

 Web hosting

Websites serve various purposes as e-commerce, online tutorials, business management functions under a unique URL (Uniform Resource Locator), which we usually call as a website address or domain name. Each of such sites access a particular space in the World Wide Web through hosting. Along with the upsurge of web sites, web hosting services in India too witnessed an exponential growth in the last decade.

There are various types of web host services in India offering different packages starting from free, budget-friendly shared hosting, and premium dedicated services. Free hosting plans are for beginners or individuals who have only minimal requirements. These providers typically offer a small server space, which will not let you upload more web pages or graphic-rich features. It may not be ideal for businesses to detail all their properties or do online commerce etc.

 Shared hosting

Shared hosting is the next option to consider, which is ideal for the medium businesses and service providers. The service fee is comparatively lesser in this hosting methodology as you ideally share the server space with other websites too. You also need not bother about managing network resources as there is a centralized administration process run by the hosting service provider. However, as there are a large number of sites sharing space in the same server, there is also a considerable risk of errors in shared hosting.

Dedicated web hosting

Some other web hosting services in India offer dedicated web hosting, which is the most reliable mode of hosting for large-scale businesses and e-commerce services. With this, you get Shell access and also can have complete control of your website. There is only minimal risk of downtime in case of dedicated hosting. It is just your site hosted in a dedicated server and this server is located at a 24x7 monitored data center, which ensures optimal performance of the portal. Some other benefits of dedicated hosting can be listed as;

ü  Security, updates, maintenance, troubleshooting, and technical administration will be covered by the provider.

ü  No need to worry about hardware maintenance.

ü  High traffic supported.

ü  The clients may also get compensation if in case the hosting plans fail.

At first, you should have a clear understanding of your exact requirement as well as the size and functionality of your portal to choose a right hosting plan matching to your needs and budget.
