An explanation of website hosting

The most fundamental and frequently used form of web hosting is the shared web hosting service. It constitutes a way to host your website without having to be much informed about programming and operating a web server. In addition, it's also the cheapest form of web hosting and it's indeed affordable for everyone. Still, what is shared web page hosting?

What is shared web page hosting?

As the name implies, the shared webspace hosting service is a type of service where numerous users share the resources of the same hosting server. This denotes that all server constituents like CPU, hard disk drives, RAM, network cards and so on, are divided among the users whose accounts are on that same server. This is mostly made accomplishable by setting up different accounts for the different clients and imposing some limits and quotas for each of them. Those restrictions are applied so as to restrain the customers from intervening with each other's accounts and, of course, to prevent the web server from overburdening. Normally, shared web space hosting clients do not have complete root access to the server's config files, which essentially goes to say that they do not have access to anything else on the server apart from their own website page hosting account. The web site hosting features that each account may resort to are fixed by the web hosting supplier that owns the hosting server and by the given webspace hosting plan. That entails the second vital question:

How are the shared web hosting servers divided among the customers?

Hosting providers that offer shared web hosting plans typically have different webspace hosting plans. Those plans involve different quotas of hosting features and specifications, which in fact determine the restrictions that a web hosting package will have. The customer may choose between the separate web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he thinks will fit him best. The web hosting package will then define what limitations the client's account will have, once created. The prices and the features of the web space hosting packages are determined by the specific hosting corporation. Based on the policy of the firm, the shared web page hosting service can be divided into two groups - the free hosting service and the regular shared solution, currently very famous among "cPanel hosting" traders 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 really are subject to the marketing policy of the particular corporation and, of course, the demands of the particular client.

What is the difference between the free of cost and the regular shared website hosting service?

Of course, the major difference between the free of cost and the paid service is in the amount of resources that they offer. Free site hosting corporations are not capable of maintaining an immense number of web servers, hence, they plainly host more customers on one web server by lowering the amount of resources offered by the accounts. This will be efficient only if the web servers are monitored and maintained properly, since the great amount of accounts may cause the server to crash repeatedly. The majority of the free web space hosting distributors, though, ignore the quality of the service and therefore, it's quite difficult to find a free of charge web hosting service that's actually worth the time. The top free hosting suppliers typically provide free client support even to the free hosting customers, since they want their web portals to grow bigger so that they subsequently move to a paid site hosting account, which offers more web hosting resources. Such corporation, for example, is FreeHostia.com, which is among the biggest and oldest free hosting distributors in the world.

At the same time, traditional shared web hosting companies such as NTC Hosting, for instance, may afford to keep lots of servers and as a result, they may afford to offer much more powerful web hosting plans. Of course, that influences the pricing of the site hosting packages. Paying a higher fee for a hosting account, however, does not automatically imply that this plan has a finer quality. The most advantageous solutions are the balanced ones, which involve a price that matches the real service which you're receiving. The first-class web site hosting corporations that have been around for quite a while are showing their prices and package features in an objective fashion, so that the client may know what indeed he is getting. Additionally, some of them provide a free bonus with the web space hosting package, such as the 1-click applications installer, accompanied by 100's of complimentary web page templates that are provided by 'NTC Hosting'. Such hosting providers do worry about their good name and that's why if you choose them, you can rest calm that you won't get tricked into purchasing a service that you cannot in fact utilize.

What should I expect from a shared web hosting service?

The shared site hosting service is best for those who wish to host an average site, which is going to generate a small or medium amount of web traffic every month. You cannot anticipate, though, that a shared webspace hosting account will last you a lifetime, because as your business develops, your web portal will become more and more resource consuming. Therefore, you will have to ultimately upgrade to a more feature-rich web hosting solution like a semi-dedicated server, a VPS (also known as a virtual web hosting server, or VPS), or why not a dedicated server. Therefore, when choosing a web hosting supplier, you should also think about how they can be of service to you, or else you might end up moving your domain name manually to a separate company, which can cause site problems and even continued downtime for your website. So, selecting a site hosting vendor such as 'NTC Hosting', which can present you with the needed domain name and hosting services as you get bigger, is vital and will save you a lot of difficulties in the future.
