Explanation of Hosting

Hosting is a type of online service that enables persons and firms to render their sites visible on the Internet. Hosting service providers are firms that offer hard drive storage space on a web server located in a data center and guarantee uninterrupted website accessibility.

Where do you start?

The World Wide Web is a vital factor in every individual's daily agenda. It offers you the option to earn a bit of cash on the side, but can also be a chief source of revenue. In order to place commercials on your web site or to promote a product that you sell, you always require a hosting service, which will make sure that your web portal is protected and always visible. But how do you discover one that is reasonably priced and yet trustworthy enough?

The shared hosting platform

The solution web hosting vendors have brought forth is called shared hosting. With the shared web hosting solution, multiple shared web hosting account holders are accommodated on one and the same web server. There are rigorous limits on the system resources that each user account can actually avail of, thus ensuring that they do not intervene with each other. The shared web hosting solution offers satisfactory performance and costs less than, let's say, a dedicated server, which is used by just one single user. The shared hosting solution permits hosting vendors to offer their clients reasonable prices. It normally comes with easy-to-use Control Panel software, as is the case with the server that we at Sedasoft Hosting provide, and enables everyone to administer their web portals without bothering about server configuration and maintenance procedures, which are entirely taken care of by the hosting services provider.

VPS hosting

With the VPS hosting solution, on the other hand, you share a physical server with other private virtual web server clients, but you are allocated a dedicated share of the resources. The private virtual server solution is the middle ground between the much more affordably priced shared web hosting solution and the more high-priced dedicated web hosting solution, and is a very good option for anyone who would like to establish, for instance, an audio or video streaming web site or a community site. The fact that you have to deal with the server configuration settings and software updates yourself is somewhat of a disadvantage, but this could also be a big advantage if you indeed have to implement some server configuration changes - something that would be unthinkable on a shared hosting web server.

Dedicated Servers

Dedicated servers are in the majority of cases much more expensive than shared hosting or virtual server hosting solutions. You might ask why would anyone want to use a dedicated web hosting server then? The reply is pretty simple. If your company has a resource-requiring web page, or simply has very special web server architecture and safety requirements, the best option would be a dedicated web hosting server that you or your techs can administer directly. For somebody who is prepared to invest in security and stability, the higher price is not a concern. You have full root-level access and can use 100 percent of the dedicated hosting web server's resources without anyone else utilizing these system resources and intervening with your sites.
