An interpretation of hosting

The most primary and frequently utilized variety of web hosting is the shared web hosting service. It constitutes a way to host your web portal without having to know much about programming and handling a web server. Besides, it's also the most inexpensive type of web hosting and it's quite affordable for anybody. However, what is shared hosting?

What is shared hosting?

As the name denotes, the shared webspace hosting solution is a kind of service where plenty of clients share the reserves of one and the same web server. This indicates that all web hosting server components such as CPU, hard disk drives, RAM, network interface cards and so on, are split among the clients whose accounts are on that same server. This is normally rendered accomplishable by creating separate accounts for the different users and assigning some limits and quotas for each of them. Those restrictions are applied in order to prevent the clients from meddling with each other's accounts and, of course, to hinder the server from overburdening. Typically, shared webspace hosting clients do not have root access to the web server's configuration files, which basically implies that they cannot access anything else on the hosting server but their very own shared web hosting account. The web page hosting resources that each account may use are set by the web hosting company that possesses the server and by the given webspace hosting package. That brings about the second essential question:

How are the shared web hosting servers split among the clients?

Web hosting corporations that provide shared hosting services commonly have different hosting plans. Those plans include different amounts of site hosting features and specs, which in fact determine the restrictions that a website hosting plan will include. The customer may choose between the individual web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he deems will fit him best. The website hosting plan will then define what limitations the user's account will involve, once set up. The costs and the specs of the webspace hosting packages are specified by the very hosting firm. Depending on the politics of the firm, the shared web space hosting solution falls into 2 categories - the free hosting service and the regular shared service, most recently very famous among "cPanel hosting" corporations as a cloud web hosting one. It's not possible to claim, which one is more preferable, since they are quite different from one another and they actually are determined by the marketing tactics of the particular firm and, of course, the requirements of the given user.

What is the distinction between the free of charge and the normal shared web page hosting solution?

Of course, the essential difference between the free and the paid service is in the amount of resources that they contain. Free site hosting vendors are not able to keep an enormous number of servers, therefore, they simply accommodate more customers on a single server by decreasing the amount of resources provided by the accounts. This will be effective only in case the web servers are monitored and tackled appropriately, because the large amount of accounts may make the web hosting server crash repeatedly. The majority of the free web site hosting firms, however, neglect the quality of the service and therefore, it's quite tough to stumble upon a free of cost webspace hosting service that's in fact worth the effort. The top free hosting distributors commonly provide free client support even to the free web site hosting clients, because they want their web portals to expand so that they eventually move to a paid web site hosting package, which includes more web hosting resources. Such supplier, for example, is FreeHostia.com, which is among the largest and eldest free webspace hosting providers in the world.

On the other hand, traditional shared web hosting vendors like 2HostLive Networks, for example, may afford to maintain a lot of hosting servers and hence, they may afford to provide much more powerful site hosting packages. Of course, that affects the cost of the webspace hosting plans. Paying a higher fee for a webspace hosting plan, though, does not automatically signify that this package has a finer quality. The most optimal services are the balanced ones, which offer a price that corresponds to the real service which you're receiving. The top-notch web site hosting suppliers that have been around for a long time are listing their prices and plan specifications in an objective manner, so that the client may be informed of what indeed he is receiving. Moreover, some of them provide a free extra with the site hosting plan, like the 1-click applications installer, accompanied by 100's of charge-free themes that are provided by '2HostLive Networks'. Such webspace hosting providers do care about their good name and this is the reason why if you pick them, you can be certain that you won't get deceived into purchasing a plan that you cannot actually avail of.

What should I expect from a shared website hosting service?

The shared site hosting service is best for people who are looking to host an average site, which is going to devour a small or medium amount of bandwidth each month. You cannot anticipate, however, that a shared hosting account will last you a lifetime, because as your business enlarges, your web page will become more and more resource consuming. Therefore, you will have to eventually upgrade to a more powerful web site hosting service like a semi-dedicated server, a VPS (also known as a private virtual server, or VPS), or why not a dedicated server. So, when picking a web site hosting company, you should also consider how they can be of service to you, or else you might end up migrating your domain name manually to a different distributor, which can cause website complications and even prolonged downtime for your web site. Hence, selecting a web site hosting distributor like '2HostLive Networks', which can supply you with the required domain name and hosting services as you grow, is vital and will save you lots of complications in the future.
