Web Hosting Today

By Vijai Sharma

If you are serious about making money by engaging with an on-line business then Web Hosting with a reputable and reliable hosting provider is a must.

Web Hosts are companies that provide space on a Server they own for use by their clients. Web Hosting provider's give you access to space on their Servers so you can upload your webpage's, graphics, audio, video, and text documents to your Domain, so other people can access them via the Internet.

Various options are available ranging from a dedicated or shared server to a virtual private server. The package you select will depend on your business needs and justification of the associated costs.

Dedicated Servers

Opting for a dedicated server is one in which the entire server is dedicated to your web pages and means that there will be no other users draining your resources. You can have full control (called "root" permissions in Linux) if you want it.

However it also means you will pay a considerable monthly sum, since you are taking up a whole server. You should also consider the costs of hiring a system administrator to take care of the box.

Shared Servers

Shared server setup is much cheaper as the name implies and you will be sharing the server and its resources with many others using the company's web hosting services. The biggest disadvantage of a shared hosting account is that you're at the mercy of the other sites on your server. A really popular site may adversely affect the performance of your own site.

Virtual Private Servers

A happy medium between the two alternatives is a virtual private server. The server is partitioned and your company is given exclusive access to one of the partitions. Since you are not using up the entire server yourself, the expense is not as great.

However, since the server is partitioned, other users on the server do not affect you in the same way as they might on a shared server. Each virtual server can run its own full-fledged operating system, and can be independently rebooted.

A VPS avoids the problem of having your hosting neighbours bring down your website, while avoiding the cost of a dedicated server.

Reseller Hosting

With this type of hosting packages you are using a shared hosting account with extra tools to help you resell hosting space. Great advantage of this type of package is that they include greater technical control, billing software, other perks like website templates and the hosting company will also handle your client's technical support issues.

Although there are many companies providing web-hosting at the cheaper end of the market you should choose a hosting provider that allows you greater control over your websites together with the tools and perks that will assist you in your business.

It is also important that the hosting provider is constantly searching, developing and keeping pace with the constant change in technology.
