Description of Web Hosting

Web hosting is a kind of Internet service that allows persons and companies to render their online portals available on the Internet. Hosting service providers are companies that offer hard disk storage space on a hosting server placed in a data center and ensure constant Internet connection.

Where do you begin?

The World Wide Web has become an indispensable staple in every person's everyday life. It offers you the possibility to gain extra cash, but can also be a major source of revenue. In order to place adverts on your web site or to publicize a commodity that you offer, you invariably need a hosting service, which will make sure that your web site is secure and constantly visible. But how do you find one that is affordably priced and yet stable enough?

The shared web hosting solution

The solution web hosting firms have come up with is called shared web hosting. With the shared web hosting solution, plenty of web hosting account owners are accommodated on the same server. There are harsh limitations on the resources that each web hosting account can in fact resort to, thus making certain that they do not interfere with each other. The shared hosting solution offers satisfactory performance and is less expensive than, let's say, a dedicated web hosting server, which is utilized by just one person. The shared hosting solution permits web hosting providers to offer their clients reasonable prices. It usually includes user-friendly Control Panel software, as is the case with the server that we at Hosting Hub provide, and lets everybody manage their websites without worrying about server setup and maintenance tasks, which are taken care of solely by the hosting packages provider.

VPS hosting

With the VPS hosting solution, on the other hand, you share a physical server with other virtual web server hosting users, but you are allocated a dedicated share of the resources. The VPS hosting server solution is the middle ground between the much more moderately priced shared web hosting solution and the more expensive dedicated hosting web server solution, and is a perfect solution for anyone who desires to create, for example, an audio or video streaming website or a social network. The fact that you need to cope with the web server configuration settings and software updates yourself is somewhat of a weakness, but this could also be a huge advantage if you indeed have to make certain server configuration modifications - something that would be impossible on a shared web server.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Dedicated hosting servers are in the majority of cases much more high-priced than shared hosting or virtual private web server hosting solutions. You might wonder why would anyone want to use a dedicated web server then? The explanation is pretty simple. If your company has a regularly visited web portal, or just has very specific web server setup and security requirements, the most sensible option is a dedicated web server that you or your technicians can manage directly. For somebody who is willing to invest in security and dependability, the higher price is not a problem. You gain complete server root access and can utilize 100% of the web server's system resources without anyone else sharing these system resources and intervening with your web pages.
