What In Fact is Shared Web Hosting?

The most standard and widely availed of variety of web hosting is the web hosting solution. It constitutes a way to host your site without having to understand much about programming and administrating a server. In addition to that, it's also the cheapest type of web hosting and it's in fact affordable for everybody. Nevertheless, what is web hosting?

What is web hosting?

As the name signifies, the web hosting solution is a sort of service where many customers share the system resources of one and the same server. This indicates that all hosting server components like CPU, hard drives, RAM, NICs etc. are allocated among the clients whose accounts are on that same server. This is normally made accomplishable by setting up separate accounts for the separate customers and setting specific restrictions and resource usage quotas for each of them. Those restrictions are set so as to restrain the users from interfering with each other's accounts and, of course, to prevent the hosting server from overloading. Usually, web hosting users do not have root-level access to the web server's configuration files, which principally denotes that they do not have access to anything else on the web hosting server beside their own personal hosting account. The web hosting features that each account may use are set by the web hosting firm that owns the web server and by the given web hosting plan. That results in the second vital question:

How are the shared hosting servers divided among the users?

Web hosting vendors that distribute web hosting packages typically have different hosting plans. Those plans involve diverse amounts of web hosting resources and specs, which actually fix the limitations that a web hosting plan will have. The user may select between the individual web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he thinks will befit him best. The website hosting package will then determine what limits the customer's account will involve, once set up. The prices and the specifications of the hosting plans are specified by the actual hosting firm. Depending on the politics of the vendor, the web hosting solution can be divided into two types - the free hosting solution and the typical shared solution, most recently very famous among "cPanel hosting" merchants as a cloud web hosting one. It's impossible to judge, which one is better, since they are very different from each other and they actually are dependent on the marketing policy of the particular vendor and, of course, the needs of the specific user.

What is the distinction between the free of cost and the normal web hosting service?

Of course, the chief difference between the free of cost and the paid solution is in the quantity of resources that they contain. Free web hosting companies are not able to maintain a large number of web servers, hence, they simply host more customers on one single hosting server by lowering the quantity of resources provided by the accounts. This will be efficient only if the hosting servers are supervised and handled properly, because the big amount of accounts may cause the web hosting server to crash on a regular basis. The majority of the free web hosting firms, however, overlook the quality of the service and hence, it's quite hard to stumble upon a free of cost web hosting service that's actually worth the effort. The top free hosting suppliers normally provide free technical support even to the free web hosting customers, since they want their sites to grow bigger so that they subsequently migrate to a paid web hosting package, which offers more web hosting resources. One such corporation, for instance, is FreeHostia.com, which is among the largest and eldest free web hosting vendors worldwide.

On the other hand, traditional web hosting distributors such as us, may afford to keep a lot of web hosting servers and so, we may afford to provide much more feature-rich website hosting packages. Of course, that reflects on the pricing of the web hosting packages. Paying a higher price for a website hosting solution, however, does not automatically denote that this package has a finer quality. The most advantageous solutions are the balanced ones, which involve a price that corresponds to the concrete service which you're getting. What's more, we also offer a free extra with the website hosting plan, such as the 1-click applications installer, accompanied by 100's of free-of-cost web page layouts. As a website hosting supplier, we do look after our reputation and that is the reason why if you choose us, you can rest calm that you won't get duped into buying a service that you cannot actually avail of.

What should I anticipate from a web hosting solution?

The web hosting solution is best for individuals who wish to host a standard website, which is going to generate a small or medium amount of traffic each month. You cannot expect, however, that a web hosting account will last you a lifetime, because as your business develops, your web page will become more and more resource consuming. So, you will have to ultimately upgrade to a more powerful web hosting solution such as a semi-dedicated web hosting, a VPS web hosting (a.k.a. a virtual private web server, or VPS), or even a dedicated web hosting. Therefore, when choosing a web hosting company, you should also ponder about scalability, otherwise you might end up migrating your domain manually to a different supplier, which can cause web site complications and even extended downtime for your web portal. If you select SEDE Hosting as your hosting vendor, you can rest safe that we can supply you with the needed domain name and hosting services as you grow bigger, is essential and will save you lots of hassles in the future.
