As we all know, Web hosting is a service that
allows the user to place its website on the
internet for the public or private viewing.
Before choosing web hosting the user has to
first decide the domain name and has registered
it too. User has three options possible for
choosing a web hosting service that a web host
can offer. They are virtual private server
hosting, shared web hosting and dedicated server
hosting.
These are classified on the basis of the amount
of control the user wants to have and degree of
the responsibility that the user must share for
the smooth and consistent running of their
website. Now, strictly talking of Shared server
hosting and dedicated server hosting.
Shared Web Hosting
As the name suggest, in shared web hosting many
small users upload their website on and run them
on same shared server. This is mainly opted by
beginners, individuals, and small business and
even by organizations. All have very little or
low requirement of bandwidth and disk space.
This is used when user don’t expect much traffic
to flow inn.
In shared web server hosting the whole,
maintenance of server and organization of
server, software installation, security updates
etc is managed by website host provider and they
are accountable for this too. They use software
like Direct Admin, Helm etc as control panels
for the overall governance of the server. Most
of the shared web server work for Linux OS only
as it has got maximum compatible control panels
in the market.
Few web host providers also provide FreeBSD or
Microsoft Windows platform too. The best part of
this type of service is that it is in great
number and so is cheaper too. Not many web
hosting service providers are able to provide
full facilities of windows web hosting. It can
be carried out in either of the two methods i.e.
name based or IP based hosting. In name based
hosting, many names can be used under single IP
whereas, in IP based there is dedicated IP for
each website.
Dedicated Web Hosting
As the name suggest, in dedicated web hosting
each website is given dedicated web server, no
other website can share this under any case. It
is used when a user expects to get huge traffic.
It has much greater bandwidth then the shared
one so is able to handle traffic with much ease.
This is also required if you need to have
complex app, secure information and customized
option in your website.
The dedicated server type hosting allows the
user to have 100% control with 100%
responsibility to run their website smooth and
consistent performance of their website. Due to
this reason this type of web hosting requires
proper management to monitor and rectify any
problem immediately. This type of hosting can be
chosen by a professional who needs to have a
full control, by big organizations or by the
user having commercial website to upload.
