An explanation of web page hosting

The most archetypal and regularly utilized kind of web hosting is the shared web hosting service. It constitutes a means to host your web portal without having to understand much about programming and running a web hosting server. In addition, it's also the cheapest type of hosting and it's in fact affordable for everyone. Nonetheless, what is shared web hosting?

What is shared webspace hosting?

As the name suggests, the shared webspace hosting service is a form of service where lots of clients share the system reserves of the same web hosting server. This means that all web server elements such as CPU, hard disks, RAM, network interface cards etc. are distributed among the customers whose accounts are on that very same hosting server. This is mostly made attainable by opening separate accounts for the separate customers and imposing specific restrictions and resource usage quotas for each of them. Those limitations are appointed so as to hinder the users from intervening with each other's accounts and, of course, to hinder the web server from overloading. Typically, shared web space hosting customers do not have root access to the server's config files, which principally suggests that they cannot access anything else on the web server beside their own web hosting account. The site hosting features that each account may utilize are determined by the hosting vendor that owns the hosting server and by the particular hosting plan. That results in the second vital question:

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

Web hosting distributors that deliver shared webspace hosting packages commonly have various web hosting packages. Those packages provide diverse amounts of web space hosting resources and specifications, which in fact fix the limits that a site hosting account will have. The user may select between the separate web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he deems will fit him best. The web space hosting plan will then determine what limits the client's account will include, once opened. The costs and the specifications of the webspace hosting plans are defined by the specific web hosting firm. Based on the policy of the distributor, the shared site hosting service falls into 2 categories - the free hosting service and the standard shared solution, currently very famous among "cPanel hosting" providers as a cloud web hosting one. It's not possible to judge, which one is better, since they are very different from each other and they really are subject to the business policy of the specific distributor and, of course, the demands of the particular client.

What is the contrast between the free and the classic shared webspace hosting service?

Of course, the main difference between the free of charge and the paid service is in the quantity of resources that they include. Free web space hosting distributors are not capable of keeping a great amount of web servers, therefore, they just host more clients on one server by lowering the amount of system resources provided by the accounts. This will be efficient only if the web hosting servers are kept under surveillance and administered appropriately, because the huge number of accounts may make the web hosting server crash on a regular basis. The majority of the free hosting firms, however, ignore the quality of the service and as a result, it's quite hard to discover a free of charge web space hosting service that's actually worth the time. The top free hosting companies usually offer free technical support even to the free website hosting customers, since they want their web portals to get bigger so that they subsequently upgrade to a paid site hosting account, which offers more web space hosting features. Such vendor, for example, is FreeHostia.com, which is one of the biggest and oldest free webspace hosting suppliers in the world.

At the same time, established shared web hosting corporations such as NTC Hosting, for example, may afford to keep lots of web servers and so, they are able to provide much more feature-rich website hosting packages. Of course, that reflects on the pricing of the web site hosting packages. Paying a higher price for a hosting account, though, does not necessarily signify that this account has a finer quality. The best services are the balanced ones, which offer a price that corresponds to the concrete service which you're receiving. The best site hosting vendors that have been around for quite some time are exhibiting their price tags and package configurations in a realistic fashion, so that the customer may acquainted with what in fact he is getting. In addition, some of these offer a free bonus with the web hosting plan, such as the 1-click applications installer, complemented with 100's of free-of-charge web templates that are supplied by 'NTC Hosting'. Such web space hosting suppliers do worry about their good name and this is the reason why if you select them, you can rest certain that you won't get swindled into purchasing a service that you cannot in fact make use of.

What should I expect from a shared site hosting service?

The shared web page hosting solution is best for individuals who wish to host an average web page, which is going to generate a small or medium amount of traffic every month. You cannot anticipate, though, that a shared webspace hosting account will be sufficient for your needs, since as your business develops, your 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. Therefore, when selecting a site hosting provider, 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 separate supplier, which can bring about web site troubles and even continuous downtime for your web page. Therefore, selecting a web hosting vendor such as 'NTC Hosting', which can present you with the needed domain name and hosting services as you grow, is vital and will spare you lots of complications in the long run.
