A description of web site hosting

The most elemental and frequently used form of web hosting is the shared web hosting service. It constitutes a way to host your web portal without having to be much informed about programming and administering a web server. Furthermore, it's also the most economical type of web hosting and it's in fact affordable for everyone. However, what is shared web hosting?

What is shared web page hosting?

As the name indicates, the shared webspace hosting service is a form of service where many users share the system reserves of one and the same hosting server. This signifies that all server constituents such as CPU, hard disks, RAM, network interface cards etc. are divided among the users whose accounts are on that same web server. This is typically rendered tenable by setting up separate accounts for the different customers and fixing certain limitations and quotas for each of them. Those limits are allocated so as to hinder the users from meddling with each other's accounts and, of course, to hinder the hosting server from overburdening. Typically, shared web space hosting clients do not have complete root-level access to the hosting server's config files, which principally means that they do not have access to anything else on the server apart from their own hosting account. The web page hosting features that each account may avail of are fixed by the web hosting vendor that owns the web hosting server and by the given website hosting package. That paves the way for the second essential question:

How are the shared hosting servers split among the users?

Web hosting distributors that offer shared web space hosting services commonly have various website hosting plans. Those packages contain different quotas of web hosting resources and specs, which in fact fix the limits that a site hosting account will have. The client may choose between the separate web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he deems will befit him best. The hosting plan will then determine what restrictions the user's account will involve, once opened. The prices and the features of the website hosting plans are specified by the specific hosting firm. Based on the politics of the corporation, the shared webspace hosting service falls into two groups - the free hosting service and the standard shared solution, most recently very famous among "cPanel hosting" sellers as a cloud web hosting one. It's impossible to declare, which one is better, since they are quite different from each other and they actually are dependent on the business strategy of the specific supplier and, of course, the needs of the given customer.

What is the distinction between the free of charge and the classic shared web hosting service?

Of course, the primary difference between the free of cost and the paid solution is in the quantity of resources that they provide. Free web space hosting providers are not capable of keeping an immense number of hosting servers, therefore, they simply host more users on a single web server by lowering the amount of resources offered by the accounts. This will be efficient only on condition that the web hosting servers are monitored and handled appropriately, since the big number of accounts may cause the web hosting server to crash time and time again. Most of the free site hosting providers, however, neglect the quality of the service and therefore, it's very difficult to find a free of charge hosting solution that's actually worth the effort. The top free hosting companies usually provide free customer support even to the free web hosting clients, because they want their web sites to grow so that they eventually move to a paid web space hosting package, which offers more website hosting features. Such firm, for example, is FreeHostia.com, which is among the largest and eldest free web hosting corporations in the world.

At the same time, established shared web hosting firms like Rai Hosting, for example, may afford to maintain many web servers and therefore, they are able to offer much more powerful webspace hosting plans. Of course, that affects the pricing of the web space hosting plans. Paying a higher fee for a webspace hosting service, however, does not automatically signify that this package has a finer quality. The most advantageous services are the balanced ones, which involve a price that matches the concrete service which you're receiving. The first-rate web site hosting companies that have been around for quite some time are presenting their prices and plan specifications in an objective way, so that the client may acquainted with what indeed he is obtaining. What's more, some of these provide a free bonus with the web hosting package, such as the 1-click applications installer, accompanied by hundreds of free-of-charge web page themes that are supplied by 'Rai Hosting'. Such website hosting firms do worry about their reputation and that's why if you go with them, you can rest confident that you won't get deceived into paying for a service that you cannot actually use.

What should I anticipate from a shared website hosting solution?

The shared site hosting service is best for individuals who wish to host an average site, which is going to devour a small or medium amount of traffic each month. You cannot anticipate, however, that a shared hosting account will last you a lifetime, since as your business develops, your site will become more and more demanding. So, you will have to ultimately migrate to a more powerful website hosting service like a semi-dedicated server, a VPS (also known as a private virtual web hosting server, or VPS), or why not a dedicated server. So, when selecting a webspace hosting distributor, you should also think about how they can be of service to you, or else you might end up migrating your domain name manually to a separate vendor, which can cause website complications and even extended downtime for your web portal. So, choosing a website hosting distributor like 'Rai Hosting', which can provide you with the needed domain name and hosting services as you get bigger, is crucial and will spare you a lot of headaches in the long run.
