What Actually is Shared Hosting

As its name suggests, shared hosting is a solution, which involves hosting online content. There are various varieties and kinds of web hosting, depending on the goals and on the functions. However, they all pertain to hosting files, which, once hosted, are made accessible through the World Wide Web. A web host is in fact a web server that is linked to the World Wide Web and has its very own IP address, which enables users to access it via the World Wide Web. The web hosting server's configuration and its limitations are determined by the sort of hosting solution it will be used for.

Based on the application, the business hosting service may be:

File Storage Hosting - this type of hosting enables the customers to host their files on a particular web server. With the average file storage web hosting service, the files that are saved may only be accessed by the client that's availing of the service. This web hosting service typically concerns backups of personal computers , documents, personal files and even other hosting servers. This solution may also impose certain limits in relation to the disk storage and the root privileges. There may also be traffic limits, but that depends on the actual hosting provider.

Warez Web Hosting - the so-called warez hosting service is resembling the previous hosting service type. In spite of that, unlike the file storage web hosting service, the warez hosting service is used for spreading proprietary materials without being given the OK to do so by the copyright keeper. In brief - it is related to the illicit dissemination of files and materials. There are lots of ways for this to be achieved, but the two main methods are - via plain HTTP downloading and via peer-to-peer connections. The first way involves either some web portal, or, most commonly, simply a directory on a web server that's been made available for everyone to access it and thus download proprietary documents free of cost. The second way involves a P2P connection, availing of the so-called Torrent web servers, through which people share files between each other. There aren't many website hosting suppliers that permit that form of hosting on their web hosting servers, mostly due to all the judicial entanglements that it entails. Usually such websites are hosted on personal dedicated web hosting servers that are registered by third-party corporations either in the Middle East or in Asia.

Email Hosting - this solution is utilized with both shared web hosting and dedicated web servers, based on the user's intention. If you want to set up your own private SMTP server, then you will require either a private virtual web server or a dedicated hosting server that provides the access level needed to accomplish such an assignment. For customary mail hosting ends, however, you can create an average shared website hosting account, to which you can point the mail exchanger records of your domain. This is not a solution that's widely used, because the website hosting and the mail hosting services are being served by 2 different servers, often owned by different web hosts.

Shared Hosting - the most famous and vastly used hosting service these days. It's used for hosting web site files, whose sort is dependent on the OS the web server is utilizing - Linux or Windows. Different kinds of files necessitate specific server Operating Systems, or else they won't be shown accurately on the Internet. This type of hosting may include disk storage space and traffic limits, root access and central processing unit usage restrictions.

Based on the aims and on the functions, the customer should choose the type of web hosting server that he demands for his work, and, of course, the web hosting vendor that's going to provide it. There are different types of hosting servers, depending on the configuration and the hosting services that they provide. These are:

Shared Hosting Server - a shared website hosting server provides a smaller quantity of resources, which, of course, reflects on the cost of the service. It can be utilized for hosting small and medium size online portals, which do not demand huge quantities of server storage space and bandwidth.

Semi-dedicated Hosting - they perform on the same principle as the shared web hosting servers. Yet, there are much less customers hosted on the same server. Because of that, each of them will get a larger quota of the web server's resources like RAM, disk storage space, web traffic and CPU. Ideal for hosting bulky web sites that do not need full root-level access.

VPS hosting are excellent for medium size online portals, which do demand root-level access to the web server's configuration files. Commonly, there are a bunch of virtual server hosting accounts located on the same physical machine. Even so, each of them is autonomous from the others and has its own Operating System.

Dedicated Hosting - a fully dedicated server set up and accessed by you and solely you. It guarantees an enormous quantity of system resources. It also includes server root access, which makes it an excellent environment for any kind of online portal that needs a website hosting service.

The only question that's left is:

Which website hosting corporation should I opt for?

As stated above, there are not many hosting providers providing warez hosting solutions due to legal predicaments. Such providers are being shut down virtually every month. Therefore, if you desire to create such a service, you should do it on your own computer. The shared website hosting service is the most famous kind of web hosting service. Therefore, each and every web hosting provider provides it. Not all of them, however, provide services such as VPSs, Semi-dedicated Hosting and dedicated servers. Most of the small sized website hosting distributors do not have the means demanded for offering those solutions. You can effortlessly ID such web hosting companies by the types of services that they are making available and by the manner in which they present them to the clientele. For instance, some web hosting companies allow you to commence with a smaller website hosting plan and then upgrade to a more powerful one, if you consider it obligatory to do so. This is quite convenient, because you do not have to transmit sites between web servers and there is no danger of suffering service interruptions due to all the complications that may show up.
