A definition of web site hosting

The most fundamental and widely used sort of web hosting is the shared web hosting solution. It constitutes a means to host your web portal without having to be much informed about programming and administrating a hosting server. What's more, it's also the most economical form of hosting and it's indeed affordable for everyone. Nevertheless, what is shared web site hosting?

What is shared web space hosting?

As the name hints, the shared web hosting service is a kind of service where a lot of clients share the resources of the same web hosting server. This denotes that all web hosting server components like CPU, hard drives, RAM, network cards etc. are divided among the users whose accounts are on that same hosting server. This is mainly made accomplishable by creating separate accounts for the different clients and imposing certain restrictions and usage quotas for each of them. Those restrictions are fixed so as to restrain the clients from intervening with each other's accounts and, of course, to hinder the hosting server from overburdening. Usually, shared site hosting customers do not have root access to the hosting server's configuration files, which essentially signifies that they cannot access anything else on the server aside from their own personal shared website hosting account. The web site hosting features that each account may avail of are set by the web hosting corporation that possesses the web server and by the respective web space hosting plan. That paves the way for the second essential question:

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

Hosting companies that furnish shared site hosting solutions normally have different hosting packages. Those plans provide different quotas of hosting resources and specs, which in fact set the limitations that a webspace hosting package will include. The customer may choose between the different web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he deems will suit him best. The site hosting package will then determine what restrictions the client's account will include, once opened. The prices and the features of the site hosting plans are defined by the very hosting provider. Depending on the policy of the supplier, the shared hosting service falls into 2 categories - the free hosting solution and the common shared service, most recently very famous among "cPanel hosting" distributors as a cloud web hosting one. It's impossible to judge, which one is more preferable, since they are very different from one another and they actually are determined by the business policy of the specific corporation and, of course, the demands of the given customer.

What is the contrast between the free of charge and the common shared website hosting service?

Of course, the main difference between the free and the paid solution is in the amount of resources that they contain. Free web site hosting providers are not capable of maintaining a great amount of web hosting servers, therefore, they plainly host more users on one hosting server by reducing the amount of resources provided by the accounts. This will be effective only on condition that the servers are monitored and tackled properly, because the enormous amount of accounts may cause the server to crash regularly. Most of the free hosting providers, though, overlook the quality of the service and therefore, it's quite difficult to come across a free web hosting service that's in fact worth the time. The top free hosting vendors typically offer free customer support even to the free site hosting customers, since they want their sites to get bigger so that they eventually upgrade to a paid web site hosting plan, which includes more web space hosting features. One such vendor, for example, is FreeHostia.com, which is among the biggest and eldest free website hosting suppliers worldwide.

At the same time, traditional shared web hosting firms like Exclusive Hosting, for example, are able to maintain numerous servers and as a result, they may afford to provide much more feature-rich hosting packages. Of course, that influences the cost of the web space hosting plans. Paying a higher price for a web space hosting solution, however, does not automatically signify that this package has a better quality. The most optimal solutions are the balanced ones, which offer a fee that corresponds to the actual service which you're getting. The top web hosting companies that have been around for quite a while are presenting their prices and package specifications in a realistic manner, so that the client may be aware of what exactly he is getting. Furthermore, some of them offer a free extra with the web hosting plan, such as the 1-click applications installer, complemented with 100's of cost-free web design templates that are furnished by 'Exclusive Hosting'. Such web space hosting companies do look after their reputation and that's why if you pick them, you can be confident that you won't get fooled into buying a solution that you cannot actually use.

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

The shared web space hosting service is best for individuals who wish to host a standard web portal, which is going to devour a small or medium amount of bandwidth each month. You cannot expect, though, that a shared web hosting account will be sufficient for your needs, because as your business grows bigger, your web portal will become more and more resource consuming. Therefore, you will have to eventually move to a more feature-rich web site hosting solution such as a semi-dedicated server, a VPS (a.k.a. a virtual hosting server, or VPS), or why not a dedicated server. Therefore, when choosing a hosting distributor, you should also reflect about how they can be of service to you, or else you might end up migrating your domain name manually to a different distributor, which can create web site predicaments and even prolonged downtime for your web site. Therefore, going with a webspace hosting supplier like 'Exclusive Hosting', which can provide you with the required domain name and hosting services as you grow, is essential and will spare you lots of annoyances in the long run.
