An interpretation of website hosting

The most archetypal and widely availed of sort of web hosting is the shared web hosting service. It's a means to host your web page without having to know much about programming and operating a web hosting server. Furthermore, it's also the most inexpensive form of webspace hosting and it's very affordable for everybody. Nonetheless, what is shared web hosting?

What is shared website hosting?

As the name designates, the shared web hosting service is a kind of service where multiple users share the system resources of one and the same server. This means that all hosting server constituents like CPU, hard disk drives, RAM, NICs and so on, are apportioned among the users whose accounts are on that same server. This is mainly made tenable by setting up different accounts for the separate customers and allocating certain restrictions and usage quotas for each of them. Those restrictions are assigned so as to hinder the customers from intervening with each other's accounts and, of course, to prevent the hosting server from overburdening. Typically, shared site hosting users do not have complete root access to the hosting server's config files, which basically suggests that they cannot access anything else on the web server but their very own shared website hosting account. The webspace hosting features that each account may use are determined by the web hosting distributor that possesses the hosting server and by the given webspace hosting plan. That necessitates the second important question:

How are the shared hosting servers divided among the users?

Hosting distributors that deliver shared web hosting services typically have various web hosting plans. Those plans provide different quotas of web space hosting features and specifications, which in fact fix the limitations that a web space hosting package will have. The client may pick between the individual web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he believes will suit him best. The web hosting package will then define what limits the user's account will have, once opened. The prices and the specs of the hosting plans are defined by the actual web hosting distributor. Based on the policy of the supplier, the shared webspace hosting solution can be divided into 2 groups - the free hosting service and the classic shared solution, currently very famous among "cPanel hosting" companies as a cloud web hosting one. It's impossible to declare, which one is more preferable, since they are very different from each other and they actually depend on the business policy of the specific vendor and, of course, the requirements of the specific customer.

What is the contrast between the free and the normal shared web hosting solution?

Of course, the essential difference between the free of charge and the paid service is in the quantity of features that they provide. Free web site hosting firms are not able to keep a big number of servers, therefore, they simply host more users on one server by decreasing the quantity of resources provided by the accounts. This will be efficient only if the web servers are monitored and tackled properly, since the big amount of accounts may cause the web hosting server to crash frequently. Most of the free website hosting distributors, however, neglect the quality of the service and therefore, it's very difficult to come across a free of charge web site hosting solution that's in fact worth the time. The top free hosting corporations commonly provide free technical support even to the free web site hosting clients, because they want their sites to grow bigger so that they eventually migrate to a paid site hosting account, which offers more webspace hosting features. One such supplier, for example, is FreeHostia.com, which is among the largest and oldest free web space hosting vendors in the world.

At the same time, traditional shared web hosting providers such as EuropeHosting.com, for example, may afford to keep multiple web hosting servers and so, they may afford to provide much more feature-rich site hosting packages. Of course, that influences the cost of the site hosting plans. Paying a higher fee for a web space hosting service, though, does not automatically imply that this plan has a finer quality. The most advantageous services are the balanced ones, which offer a fee that corresponds to the real service which you're receiving. The top-notch web site hosting providers that have been around for a long time are listing their prices and package specifications in an objective way, so that the customer may be aware of what in fact he is obtaining. In addition, some of these offer a free bonus with the webspace hosting package, such as the 1-click applications installer, complemented with hundreds of fee-free web design layouts that are offered by 'EuropeHosting.com'. Such webspace hosting companies do look after their reputation and that is the reason why if you select them, you can be certain that you won't get deceived into purchasing a package that you cannot actually avail of.

What should I expect from a shared web space hosting solution?

The shared website hosting service is best for persons who desire to host a normal website, which is going to utilize a small or medium amount of traffic each month. You cannot expect, however, that a shared site hosting account will be sufficient for your needs, because as your business expands, your web portal will become more and more demanding. Hence, you will have to ultimately move to a more feature-rich site hosting service like a semi-dedicated server, a VPS (a.k.a. a virtual web server, or VPS), or why not a dedicated server. So, when selecting a web hosting distributor, you should also reflect about how they can be of service to you, otherwise you might end up migrating your domain name manually to a separate distributor, which can cause web site complications and even continued downtime for your web page. Therefore, choosing a web space hosting company such as 'EuropeHosting.com', which can supply you with the needed domain name and hosting services as you grow, is crucial and will spare you a lot of hassles in the future.
