What Does Shared Hosting Stand for?

Shared hosting is a type of Internet service that enables individuals and businesses to render their online portals discoverable on the Internet. Web hosting providers are firms that offer disk storage space on a hosting server physically located in a data center and guarantee continuous service uptime.

Where do you start?

The Internet is a key part of our daily life. It gives you the ability to earn additional money, but can also be a major source of income. In order to embed commercials on your site or to promote a product that you offer, you always need a hosting solution, which will make sure that your web site is safe and constantly reachable. But how do you discover one that is cheap and yet trustworthy enough?

The shared web hosting solution

The solution hosting corporations have brought forth is called shared web hosting. With the shared hosting solution, plenty of shared hosting accounts are hosted on one and the same web server. There are rigorous limitations on the system resources that each hosting account can actually use, thus guaranteeing that they do not meddle with each other. The shared web hosting solution offers good performance and is cheaper than, let's say, a dedicated web server, which is utilized by only one customer. The shared solution allows shared hosting vendors to offer their customers moderate prices. It usually comes with easy-to-use Control Panel software, as is the case with the server that we at Host2net Limited provide, and enables everyone to administer their websites without bothering about server setup and maintenance procedures, which are handled solely by the hosting service provider.

Virtual private servers hosting

With the virtual private servers hosting solution, on the other hand, you share a physical machine with other private virtual server customers, but you are allotted a dedicated share of the resources. The Virtual Private Server hosting solution is the middle ground between the much more affordable shared hosting solution and the more expensive dedicated web server solution, and is a perfect option for anyone who would like to set up, for example, a live streaming website or a social networking site. The fact that you have to cope with the server configuration settings and software updates yourself is somewhat of a disadvantage, but this could also be a great benefit if you indeed need to implement certain server configuration modifications - something that would be impossible on a shared hosting web server.

Dedicated Servers

Dedicated servers are in the majority of instances much more expensive than shared hosting or VPS server hosting solutions. You might ask why would anyone want to use a dedicated hosting server then? The explanation is pretty simple. If your corporation has a high resource-devouring web page, or just has very special server configuration and security requirements, the best choice is a dedicated server that you or your technicians can manage directly. For somebody who is ready to invest in safety and reliability, the greater price is of no importance. You are granted root privileges and can utilize 100% of the dedicated server's system resources without anyone else using these system resources and interfering with your websites.
