Web Hosting Description

Web hosting is a type of Internet service that allows persons and corporations to make their web sites accessible on the World Wide Web. Hosting providers are companies that offer space on a web server located in a datacenter and guarantee uninterrupted network uptime.

Where do you start?

The World Wide Web is an essential part of our daily routine. It offers you the ability to earn extra profit, but can also be a major source of income. In order to put advertisements on your site or to publicize a product or a service that you sell, you invariably need a hosting service, which will guarantee that your online portal is protected and continually available. But how do you find one that is cheap and yet stable enough?

The shared hosting solution

The solution hosting suppliers have brought forth is named shared hosting. With the shared web hosting solution, lots of hosting clients are accommodated on one and the same web hosting server. There are strict limitations on the system resources that each shared hosting account can in fact resort to, thus ensuring that they do not meddle with each other. The shared solution offers acceptable performance and is less expensive than, let's say, a dedicated hosting server, which is utilized by only one single client. The shared hosting solution enables web hosting providers to offer their customers inexpensive prices. It ordinarily includes easy-to-use hosting Control Panel software, as is the case with the server that we at Vector Prime Systems provide, and lets everyone manage their web sites without bothering about server configuration and maintenance procedures, which are handled solely by the hosting solutions provider.

VPS hosting

With the VPS hosting solution, on the other hand, you share a physical server with other VPS web hosting server users, but you are allotted a dedicated share of the resources. The VPS server web hosting solution is the middle ground between the much cheaper shared hosting solution and the more high-priced dedicated hosting server solution, and is a very suitable solution for anyone who wishes to set up, for instance, an audio or video streaming web site or a social network. The fact that you have to take care of the server configuration settings and software updates yourself is somewhat of a downside, but this could also be a big upside if you indeed have to make certain server configuration changes - something that would be impossible on a shared server.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Dedicated hosting servers are in the majority of instances much more expensive than shared hosting or VPS server hosting solutions. You might wonder why would anyone want to use a dedicated web server then? The explanation is pretty simple. If your corporation has a resource-demanding web site, or simply has very exact server architecture and safety requirements, the most intelligent choice would be a dedicated server that you or your admins can manage directly. For somebody who is willing to invest in safety and reliability, the higher price is not an issue. You acquire full root-level access and can utilize 100% of the web hosting server's system resources without anyone else utilizing these system resources and interfering with your online portals.
