Hosting
When it's time to put your Web
pages up on the Internet, you
will need a web hosting service
provider. These services range
from free accounts with a few
simple options, to expensive
business class Webhosting with
every option you can imagine.
The provider you choose depends
upon how you plan to use your
Web site, how much traffic you
expect to get, how much you want
to spend, and how much time you
want to spend maintaining the
servers and systems that power
the Website.

Paid Hosting
or Shared Hosting
There are hundreds of companies
that specialize in providing Web
Hosting services for Web sites
of all sizes. Whether you have a
small site of just a few pages
or a giant corporate website
with thousands of dynamically
generated web pages, you can
find a provider to suit your
needs.
Typically you pay a fee for
space and services on a Web
hosting provider's systems.
Depending upon what services you
want the price starts about $5
US, and can go up to several
hundred per month for a very
complex system. Services can
include CGI access, database
support, PHP, ASP, E-Commerce,
SSL, extra storage space, extra
bandwidth, and much more. The
best thing to do is compare a
few compaines and plans until
you find one that fits your
needs and budget.
Dedicated and
Managed Hosting
Dedicated hosting, also called
dedicated server hosting, is a
type of webhosting that allows
you to lease an entire webserver
(not shared with anyone). This
is more flexible than shared
hosting, because you have total
control over the server(s),
including choice of operating
system, hardware, etc. You can
also pay to have administration
of the server provided by the
hosting company as an add-on
service. This is called managed
hosting. For some companies and
larger websites a dedicated or
managed hosting account is
preferred because of the extra
control and flexibility they
provide. |
