An explanation of webspace hosting

As its name denotes, web hosting is a service, which involves hosting online content. There are various forms and kinds of hosting, based on the mission and on the objectives. Nevertheless, they all are related to hosting files, which, once hosted, are made available through the Internet. A host is in fact a hosting server that is connected to the Web and has its own Internet Protocol address, which permits users to access it via the World Wide Web. The web hosting server's architecture and its system resources are subject to the type of hosting solution it will be used for.

What are the different types of web hosting?

Depending on the application, the business website hosting solution may be:

File Web Hosting - this type of web hosting permits the users to save their files on a certain web hosting server. With the common file storage web hosting solution, the files that are hosted may only be accessed by the individual that's utilizing the service. This web hosting solution generally is connected with backups of computers , docs, private files and even other hosting servers. This service may also involve given limits with regard to the web storage and the root-level access. There may also be bandwidth limits, but that depends on the actual hosting service provider.

Warez Web Hosting - the so-called warez hosting service is very similar to the previous web hosting service type. Even so, in contrast with the file storage web hosting service, the warez web hosting service is utilized for propagating patented materials without being given the green light by the patent owner. In brief - it is connected with the criminal circulation of files and documents. There are multiple methods for this to be executed, but the 2 principal methods are - through plain Hypertext Transfer Protocol downloading and via P2P connections. The first one entails either some web page, or, most often, simply a directory on a hosting server that's been made available for everyone to access it and thus download licensed files free of charge. The second method involves a peer-to-peer connection, using the so-called Torrent web servers, through which users transmit files between each other. There are just a few web page hosting distributors that permit that type of web hosting on their web servers, chiefly owing to all the legal entanglements that it entails. Typically such web portals are hosted on private dedicated servers that are registered by third-party firms either in the Middle East or in Asia.

Electronic Mail Hosting - this solution is applicable with both shared web page hosting and dedicated hosting servers, based on the client's intention. If you want to set up your very own personal SMTP server, then you will need either a virtual server or a dedicated web hosting server that provides the access level required to perform such a task. For traditional electronic mail hosting purposes, though, you can avail of a regular shared hosting account, to which you can point the mail exchanger records of your domain name. This is not a solution that's widely used, because the web hosting and the electronic mail hosting services are being served by two separate web servers, often owned by different firms.

Website Hosting - the most popular and largely used hosting service nowadays. It's used for hosting website files, whose sort is determined by the OS the server is running - Linux or Windows. Different types of files demand specific web hosting server Operating Systems, or else they won't be exhibited accurately on the Web. This form of hosting may impose data space and web traffic restrictions, server root access and central processing unit usage restrictions.

Based on the purpose and on the objectives, the user should pick the type of hosting server that he demands for his project, and, of course, the hosting provider that's going to furnish it. There are different kinds of servers, based on the specs and the web hosting services that they offer. These are:

Shared Hosting Server - a shared web hosting server offers a smaller quantity of resources, which, of course, is reflected on the cost of the service. It can be utilized for hosting small scale and medium web pages, which do not demand vast quotas of data storage and traffic.

Semi-Dedicated Servers - they perform on the same principle as the shared web site hosting servers. Nevertheless, there are much less customers accommodated on the same hosting server. Because of that, each of them will enjoy a greater quota of the web server's resources like RAM, server storage space, web traffic and CPU. Excellent for hosting big web sites that do not require server root access.

Virtual Private Server - the private virtual web hosting servers are excellent for middle scale online portals, which do need root-level access to the web server's configuration files. Generally, there are a handful of VPS web server accounts accommodated on the same server. Yet, each of them is independent from the others and runs its own OS.

Dedicated Servers - a completely dedicated physical machine configured and accessed by you and solely you. It guarantees an enormous quantity of resources. It also offers root privileges, which renders it the optimal environment for any type of site that requires a website hosting solution.

The sole question that's left is:

Which webspace hosting vendor should I opt for?

As stated above, there aren't many hosting providers offering warez web hosting services because of legal complications. Such hosting companies are being shut down almost every month. That is why, if you want to establish such a service, you should do it on your own PC. The shared webspace hosting solution is the most widely spread type of web hosting service. Therefore, each and every web hosting corporation provides it. Not all of them, though, provide services such as private virtual servers, semi-dedicated web servers and dedicated web servers. Most of the smaller web site hosting distributors do not have the means needed for maintaining those solutions. For that reason it's invariably best to settle on a bigger hosting company that can provide its customers with all the services that they need. You can quickly recognize such hosting companies by the sorts of services that they are providing and by the way that they present them to the clients. For example, some providers permit you to commence with a small sized hosting plan and afterwards upgrade to a more powerful one, if you consider it obligatory to do so. This is quite suitable, because you do not have to transfer web sites between web hosting servers and there is no chance of facing network downtime due to all the complications that may crop up. Web hosts such as Exclusive Hosting provide all sorts of solutions and have the adequate hosting server resources and personnel to guarantee that their clients will not run into any hassles when changing services, which is what a top hosting corporation is actually all about.
