Web Hosting Packages Explanation

As its name hints, web hosting is a service, which involves hosting online content. There are various varieties and kinds of web hosting, based on the aims and on the objectives. Nonetheless, they all involve hosting files, which, once hosted, are made available through the World Wide Web. A web host is in fact a web hosting service that is linked to the Web and has its own personal IP address, which allows users to have access to it via the Internet. The server's configuration and its resources are dependent on the form of hosting solution it will be utilized for.

Based on the function, the business website hosting service may be:

File Storage Hosting - this type of hosting enables the users to accommodate their files on a certain web server. With the routine file storage hosting solution, the files that are stashed may only be accessed by the person that's using the service. This web hosting service traditionally is associated with backups of PCs , documents, personal files and even other web servers. This service may also contain certain limitations in terms of the disk storage space and the root-level access. There may also be web traffic limitations, but that is dependent on the given host.

Warez Hosting - the so-called warez hosting solution is resembling the previous web hosting service form. However, in contrast with the file storage hosting service, the warez web hosting service is utilized for circulating proprietary work without being given the OK to do so by the copyright keeper. To cut a long story short - it is connected with the illegitimate dissemination of files and docs. There are multiple approaches for this to be completed, but the two essential approaches are - via simple HTTP downloading and through peer-to-peer connections. The first method entails either some web portal, or, most commonly, just a directory on a hosting server that's been made available for everybody to access it and thereby download licensed materials for free. The second approach entails a peer-to-peer connection, using the so-called Torrent servers, via which people transfer files between each other. There are a few web hosting vendors that allow that form of web hosting on their hosting servers, mostly due to all the judicial troubles that it entails. Commonly such web sites are hosted on private dedicated web servers that are registered by third-party companies either in the Middle East or in Asia.

Mail Hosting - this solution is utilized with both shared web hosting and dedicated web servers, based on the user's wish. If you would like to build your very own personal SMTP server, then you will require either a VPS hosting server or a dedicated server that provides the access level required to accomplish such a task. For common e-mail web hosting purposes, however, you can create a standard shared web hosting account, to which you can point the MX records of your domain name. This is not a solution that's widely used, since the web hosting and the e-mail hosting services are being served by 2 separate web servers, usually owned by separate hosting providers.

Web Hosting - the most widespread and widely used hosting service these days. It's used for hosting site files, whose sort is dependent on the OS the server is using - Linux or Windows. Different sorts of files request different hosting server Operating Systems, otherwise they won't be displayed correctly on the Internet. This kind of hosting may have disk space and web traffic limitations, root-level access and central processing unit usage limitations.

Based on the aims and on the usage, the customer should select the kind of web server that he demands for his work, and, of course, the web hosting corporation that's going to provide it. There are several types of web servers, based on the specifications and the website hosting solutions that they provide. These are:

Shared Website Hosting Server - a shared website hosting server provides a smaller amount of system resources, which, of course, is manifested in the cost of the service. It can be utilized for hosting small scale and middle sized online portals, which do not need considerable amounts of data storage space and web traffic.

Semi-dedicated Hosting - they work on the very same principle as the shared website hosting servers. In spite of that, there are much fewer clients hosted on the same web hosting server. Hence, each of them will enjoy a greater quota of the web hosting server's resources like RAM, storage space, web traffic and CPU. Ideal for hosting heavy websites that do not demand root-level access.

VPS hosting are ideal for medium size sites, which do demand root access to the hosting server's configuration files. Traditionally, there are a number of VPS web server accounts accommodated on the same server. Still, each of them is independent from the rest and has its own OS.

Dedicated Hosting - a fully dedicated physical server set up and accessed by you and only you. It guarantees a considerable quantity of system resources. It also offers full root privileges, which makes it an excellent solution for any type of web site that requires a web hosting service.

The sole question that's left is:

Which web hosting firm should I pick?

As mentioned, there are just a few providers offering warez web hosting services due to legal entanglements. Such providers are being closed down virtually every month. For that reason, if you would like to run such a service, you should do it on your own PC. The shared website hosting service is the most popular kind of web hosting service. So, every hosting corporation offers it. Not all of them, though, provide services such as virtual hosting servers, Semi-dedicated Hosting and dedicated web servers. Most of the small sized website hosting suppliers do not have the means required for maintaining those services. You can easily ID such hosts by the types of solutions that they are supplying and by the way that they present them to the clientele. For example, some web hosting providers permit you to start with a low-end website hosting plan and afterwards shift to a more powerful one, if you find it obligatory to do so. This is extremely convenient, because you do not need to transmit web sites between web servers and there is no possibility of experiencing service downtime because of all the predicaments that may crop up.
