Web Hosting Solutions

• A web hosting solution refers to the service
  offered by a web hosting company for rendering
  websites accessible. In it, server space is
  provided for storing and processing the files of
  websites, which are subsequently delivered to the
  Internet connected devices of users that had
  generated the request for the web pages.
• Web hosting solutions are of different types,
  such as Shared Hosting, VPS (Virtual Private
  Server), Dedicated Hosting, Reseller Hosting,
  WordPress Hosting, Cloud Hosting, etc.

5
Web Hosts

• A web host refers to a website hosting company.
  Such a company provides the service of web
  hosting. Web hosts offer server space on their
  web servers for storing the files of websites.
  This server space is provided along with the
  necessary technologies, which are needed for
  keeping websites up and running seamlessly.
• Terms such as the Best Cloud Hosting Company,
  the Best Windows Hosting Company, etc. are used
  for web hosts that provide excellent services.

6
Plans for Web Hosting

  various plans. These packages are offered by
  different web hosting service providers and
  contain features that are necessary for ensuring
  seamless availability of the service of website
  hosting. A wide range of plans that are all
  priced differently are offered by web hosting
  companies.

Features of Web Hosting Services

• Apart from the availability of a wide range of
  web hosting plans at budget-friendly prices, the
  below-mentioned features need to be present in
  all the reliable web hosting services-
• High Uptime
• SSD
• Robust Security
• Fast Speed
• Data Backup Facility
• 247 Customer Care Service
• While selecting a particular web hosting service,
  the hosting requirements and the budget need to

Main Types of Web Hosting

• Website hosting can be availed as any of the
  following-
• Shared Hosting for Linux and Windows
• Dedicated Hosting for Linux and Windows
• Reseller Hosting for Linux and Windows
• WordPress Hosting for Linux and Windows
• Cloud Hosting for Linux and Windows
• VPS Hosting for Linux and Windows

10
Shared Hosting

• Shared Hosting is one of the most basic and the
  most economical types of web hosting solutions.
  It is provided by a web hosting service provider.
  The service of Shared Hosting is offered through
  plans for Linux Shared Hosting or Windows Shared
  Hosting.
• In this type of web hosting, the files of
  multiple websites are stored on a single server.
  Due to this, there is sharing of server space and
  server resources among multiple sites that are
  hosted on the same server. It is the hosting plan
  of the individual user of this service that
  decides his/her share of the shared server
  resources.

11
Advantage of Using Shared Hosting

• Shared Hosting as a web hosting solution is the
  most economical web hosting service. This is the
  reason for it being preferred extensively and it
  is also its main benefit. All Shared Hosting
  plans are available at comparatively lower
  prices. This can be attributed to the fact that
  the shared server environment results in lowering
  of individual prices for availing Shared Web
  Hosting.

12
Disadvantages of Using Shared Hosting

• The shared server environment in Shared Hosting
  limits server resource availability and causes
  security related issues as well as slow speed for
  the sites that are hosted on the same server.
  These are the main disadvantages of using Shared
  Hosting.

13
VPS Hosting

• VPS is the abbreviation for a Virtual Private
  Server. Virtual Private Servers are used by web
  hosting service providers for offering hosting
  services by providing dedicated server resources
  to individual users of the same shared server
  space on a VPS. Virtualization Technology makes
  it possible by segmenting a single server into
  multiple, isolated, private, virtual servers.
  Each of these multiple, virtual servers is
  capable of functioning as an effective server,
  enabling its user to install his/her own software
  and operating system.
• A Virtual Private Server can either be a Linux
  Manged VPS or a Windows Manged VPS or a Linux
  Self-managed VPS or a Windows Self-managed VPS.

14
Advantages of Using VPS Hosting

• In VPS hosting, the environment of a dedicated
  server is emulated on a shared server
  environment. This results in the following
  benefits-
• Availability of dedicated server resources to
  each user of a VPS
• Flexibility for individual users with regard to
  the installation of software and OS
• Reliable, stable and powerful performance
• Enhanced speed
• Improved security
• Affordable hosting solution for getting dedicated
  server resources

15
Disadvantage of Using VPS Hosting

• Availing VPS Hosting turns out to be more
  expensive than availing Shared Hosting. This is
  the only downside of VPS Hosting. Other than
  this, there are no disadvantages of using a
  Virtual Private Server for web hosting purposes.
• While availing a VPS, the hosting requirements
  need to be assessed thoroughly to find out if a
  Managed VPS will cater to those requirements
  perfectly or a Self-managed VPS.

16
VPS Hosting Users

• By providing dedicated server resources in a
  shared server environment through Virtualization
  Technology, a VPS provides an ideal solution for
  those that want to do away with the issues which
  result from Shared Hosting but at a price that is
  lesser than that for availing a dedicated server.
  Its ideal users are those that need dedicated
  server resources in an affordable price range, as
  well as those that are looking for enhanced
  security and speed than that offered in Shared
  Hosting.
• Some examples of VPS users are, sites of
  medium-sized businesses, online stores, sites
  that get more traffic than that which can be
  catered to effectively by a shared server, etc.

17
Conclusion

• Shared Hosting and VPS Hosting, both offer web
  hosting services by utilizing the resources of a
  single server but the prior delivers it through
  shared server resources while the latter provides
  dedicated server resources to individual users by
  using Virtualization Technology. Shared Hosting
  is the most economical web hosting solution while
  VPS hosting is more expensive than Shared hosting
  but less expensive than availing a dedicated
  server.
• HTS Hosting, a globally well-known service
  provider of web hosting services, is regarded as
  the Best Web Hosting Company for delivering all
  types of website hosting solutions, including
