Types Of Web Hosting Servers
The article outlines the basic points for Selecting
Web Hosting Server according to the needs of the website.
Web hosting plays a vital role in presenting website
online. Thus, it necessitates special understanding
for available web hosting server for related website.
Web Hosting empowers sharing information, selling
products and services, and interacting with people
through a web site, so, a reliable Web Hosting Service
that gives fast loading, 24/7 tech support, client
owned domain name, minimum 20MB - 50MB server space,
back-up system, Unlimited free access via FTP/Telnet,
email accounts, Easy access to log files should be
chosen.
Web hosting platform should be selected according
to required operating system (unix or windows) depending
on the website functionality. Unix/Linux based hosts
provide PHP, Perl/CGI, FrontPage, and very limited
ASP functionality. If running an Application that
requires ASP, .NET, MS SQL, SBS or Access, the need
will be for a Windows based web host; usually a little
more expensive. Types of web hosting server that can
be selected:
SHARED WEB HOSTING -One server (CPU time, memory,
OS, applications, bandwidth, etc) is shared with a
number of clients of the hosting company. Usually,
this is the cheapest web hosting solution, good for
small to medium size sites.
DEDICATED WEB HOSTING-Hosting solution especially
attractive for large high-traffic websites, custom
development projects creating complex web based applications,
and web sites that require a high degree of uptime
and total control of the hosting environment.
MANAGED HOSTING-It takes the dedicated web hosting
features and adds extra services from technical point
of view. More expensive than dedicated hosting, as
it can be difficult to operate technically and requires
certain knowledge about server maintenance and system
administration.
THE VIRTUAL PRIVATE SERVER- Very attractive hosting
solution for web hosting clients who would like features
of dedicated server on a smaller scale in cheaper
rates. The resources are setup in such a way that
each person in spite of sharing CPU, memory, and bandwidth,
are allocated their own file system. It is safer than
sharing, if a website on the server is hacked; the
hackers will only have access to that particular file
system and would not harm the other Websites. It is
cheaper than dedicated hosting, more expensive than
shared.
CO-LOCTATED HOSTING- Allows complete control of the
server and its resources. Allows its clients to use
customized hardware and software for hosting Usually
the most expensive hosting.
