A description of hosting

The most standard and regularly utilized 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 administrating a hosting server. Furthermore, it's also the cheapest form of webspace hosting and it's indeed affordable for everybody. Still, what is shared web page hosting?

What is shared site hosting?

As the name denotes, the shared webspace hosting service is a kind of service where many users share the system resources of the same web server. This signifies that all web hosting server components like CPU, hard disks, RAM, network cards etc. are apportioned among the customers whose accounts are on that same web server. This is mainly made viable by opening different accounts for the different clients and setting some limits and resource usage quotas for each of them. Those limitations are set so as to restrain the clients from interfering with each other's accounts and, of course, to prevent the web hosting server from overloading. Normally, shared hosting customers do not have complete root access to the hosting server's configuration files, which primarily suggests that they do not have access to anything else on the hosting server beside their own personal shared web hosting account. The site hosting features that each account may use are set by the hosting vendor that owns the hosting server and by the given site hosting plan. That paves the way for the second vital question:

How are the shared hosting servers shared among the users?

Hosting corporations that deliver shared website hosting plans typically have various web hosting packages. Those plans involve different quotas of webspace hosting resources and specifications, which in fact determine the limitations that a web space hosting account will include. The customer may choose between the separate web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he thinks will befit him best. The web site hosting package will then determine what limits the user's account will have, once opened. The costs and the specs of the hosting plans are defined by the given web hosting vendor. Based on the policy of the corporation, the shared site hosting service falls into two types - the free hosting service and the regular shared service, most recently very popular among "cPanel hosting" companies as a cloud web hosting one. It's not possible to announce, which one is better, since they are quite different from each other and they indeed are dependent on the business policy of the given provider and, of course, the needs of the given user.

What is the contrast between the free of cost and the classic shared website hosting service?

Of course, the principal difference between the free of cost and the paid service is in the quantity of resources that they include. Free webspace hosting corporations are not capable of keeping an enormous amount of hosting servers, hence, they just host more clients on one single web hosting server by lowering the amount of system resources provided by the accounts. This will be effective only if the web servers are monitored and administered appropriately, since the huge amount of accounts may causer the web server to crash again and again. The majority of the free site hosting suppliers, however, ignore the quality of the service and hence, it's very hard to stumble upon a free of charge web site hosting service that's actually worth the time. The top free hosting vendors usually offer free client support even to the free hosting users, since they want their web pages to grow so that they subsequently move to a paid web site hosting plan, which offers more website hosting resources. One such corporation, for example, is FreeHostia.com, which is one of the largest and oldest free website hosting suppliers in the world.

On the other hand, traditional shared web hosting firms such as True Cloud Hosting, for example, may afford to maintain a lot of servers and so, they may afford to provide much more feature-rich webspace hosting packages. Of course, that affects the pricing of the web site hosting plans. Paying a higher fee for a web space hosting account, though, does not necessarily denote that this solution has a finer quality. The most advantageous services are the balanced ones, which offer a fee that corresponds to the concrete service which you're receiving. The first-class site hosting vendors that have been around for quite some time are listing their price tags and plan features in an objective fashion, so that the client may familiar with what in fact he is receiving. Besides, some of them offer a free bonus with the web space hosting package, such as the 1-click applications installer, complemented with hundreds of fee-free web design templates that are provided by 'True Cloud Hosting'. Such web space hosting companies do worry about their good name and this is the reason why if you go with them, you can rest calm that you won't get tricked into purchasing a solution that you cannot in fact make use of.

What should I expect from a shared web site hosting solution?

The shared hosting solution is best for persons who would like to host a normal web page, which is going to consume a small or medium amount of traffic every month. You cannot anticipate, though, that a shared web site hosting account will be sufficient for your needs, because as your business enlarges, your web site will become more and more resource consuming. Therefore, you will have to ultimately migrate to a more powerful hosting solution like a semi-dedicated server, a VPS (also known as a virtual private hosting server, or VPS), or why not a dedicated server. So, when selecting a web space hosting supplier, you should also ponder about how they can be of service to you, or else you might end up moving your domain name manually to a different provider, which can cause website problems and even prolonged downtime for your website. Therefore, selecting a web site hosting provider such as 'True Cloud Hosting', which can present you with the required domain name and hosting services as you get bigger, is vital and will save you lots of complications in the future.
