How Shared Web Hosting Operates

Shared web hosting is a sort of online service that allows individuals and businesses to make their websites accessible on the web. Web hosting service providers are companies that offer disk drive storage space on a web server held in a datacenter facility and guarantee continuous Internet connection.

Where do you start?

The World Wide Web is a vital component of every person's everyday routine. It offers you the ability to gain extra cash, but can also be a main source of revenue. In order to embed ads on your site or to promote a service that you sell, you always need a hosting solution, which will guarantee that your web page is protected and constantly accessible. But how do you discover one that is inexpensive and yet trustworthy enough?

The shared web hosting solution

The solution web hosting corporations have come up with is named shared web hosting. With the shared hosting solution, a lot of web hosting accounts are accommodated on one and the very same web hosting server. There are severe limits on the resources that each account can actually resort to, thus guaranteeing that they do not meddle with each other. The shared hosting solution offers good performance and costs less than, let's say, a dedicated server, which is used by just one individual. The shared solution allows shared web hosting service providers to offer their clients competitive prices. It usually comes with intuitive hosting Control Panel software, as is the case with the server that we at Alobam Dev Studio provide, and enables everybody to administer their web pages without bothering about server installation and maintenance procedures, which are entirely taken care of by the hosting services provider.

VPS web hosting

With the VPS web hosting solution, on the other hand, you share a physical server with other virtual web server hosting account owners, but you are allotted a dedicated share of the resources. The VPS server web hosting solution is the middle ground between the much more affordably priced shared hosting solution and the more expensive dedicated web server solution, and is a perfect option for anyone who desires to build, for instance, an audio or video streaming site or a social networking site. The circumstance that you need to take care of the server configuration settings and software updates yourself is somewhat of a disadvantage, but this could also be a huge plus if you indeed have to make certain server configuration modifications - something that would be impossible on a shared web server.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Dedicated web hosting servers are in most situations much more expensive than shared web hosting or Virtual Private Server hosting solutions. You might ask why would anyone use a dedicated server then? The reply is rather simple. If your company has a high resource-demanding web portal, or simply has very specific server architecture and security requirements, the most reasonable choice would be a dedicated server that you or your admins can administer directly. For somebody who is prepared to invest in security and dependability, the bigger price is not a problem. You are granted full root-level access and can use 100 percent of the hosting web server's resources without anyone else utilizing these system resources and meddling with your web pages.
