Web hosting services range from free services with few options up to expensive business hosting and even hosting you run yourself.so you must plan judiciously on how much you want to spend, and how much time you want to spend maintaining the servers that make up the Web site.
If you want to use the Internet, you need to have an Internet Service Provider (ISP).Most ISPs don’t offer a lot of features with their Web space.If you plan to run a business, you should only use your ISP hosting for testing and preparation of your site, rather than the site itself.
If you have an ISP that doesn’t offer Web space, free Web hosting is good.
Free hosting is best for personal Web pages and very small business Web pages. Because they are supported by advertising, they are not ideal for any serious business. If you plan to run a business on your site, free hosting is great for testing your site and preparing the pages, but not good for running the business unless you can turn off the advertising.
With Domain hosting, you can use your ISP or free hosting service, and still reap the benefits of having a personalized Web site URL. Domain name hosting is sometimes referred to as URL redirection.
Domain name hosting is perfect for small businesses that don’t have a lot of money to spend on Web hosting.
Colocation puts your Web server in the machine room of a larger company. You connect to their very high-speed Internet connection. Colocation comes in managed and unmanaged versions.

Colocation is a great option for small to medium sized businesses that want more control over their Web hosting. With managed colocation, it’s almost like having an IT department, even if your company is still fairly small.

Hosting your site yourself offers you the most control over your Web server. Companies that have large data centers or just want to control every aspect of their Web and Internet access should look into this type of hosting. Be sure to contact your ISP before setting up a direct connection on a DSL or consumer ISP connection.

* site management software

Many beginning Web designers forget about space, or they don’t think about the growing needs of their company.But it is also a important factor.

At minimum, you should choose a hosting provider that allows you access to a CGI-BIN folder so that you can add scripts later. You should also look for a provider that has pre-built tools like form-to-email, guestbooks, or chat.
How do you need to access your site to make changes to it? Some sites allow FTP access from anywhere, while others require that you use only their online tool.
If your site has problems, support will help you get it back up and running. Support is one of the first things to go in cheaper plans, and can make your hosting service very difficult to use.
Bandwidth is the amount of traffic your site gets per month. A site with a high amount of bandwidth will need to pay for higher transfer limits or risk getting hit with high fees. If you anticipate that your site is going to be really popular, then you should watch that hidden bandwidth fees are not part of the service plan.

Hosting types


What are the different hosting types?There are so many different types of Web hosting options, it can be overwhelming making the choice.Friends at Cpwebhosting please tell me.

Standard Web Hosting:

You pay for a specific amount of server space on a Web hosting system, and they provide you with high-speed servers, software, and other amenities.

Some things to look for in a standard Web hosting package:

1. Bandwidth charges – if you expect your site to get a lot of page views, make sure that there aren’t limits or extra charges.
2. Server software – most paid hosting services offer some types of software for you to use including CGI, PHP, and Weblogs.
3. Administrative access – some hosts provide you with a Web-based console, and others allow you to telnet in to the server. Both work fine, but make sure if you want one style in particular that your host provides it.
4. Operating system – the OS your Web site is on can affect what software can run. It’s a good idea to know what you’re on and learn the difference between Windows and Linux hosting.

Dedicated Web hosting is where you get your own server machine for your site’s exclusive use. In most dedicated hosting situations, the site owner will get root access to the server to make changes and control the site, but that depends upon the host. Some hosts provide an admin console or access through their helpdesk technicians.
Dedicated Web hosting is good for businesses that need more space or more control over the Web site. When you’re on a machine that isn’t being used by any other Web site, you know what is happening on the machine – standard hosts run the risk of having one site get hacked which provides access to all the other sites on that server.
Colocation
Colocation server:
It is just like dedicated where the server machine is dedicated to your site’s exclusive use. But in this case, you own the hardware – not the hosting company. Instead, what you are renting is the physical space in their facility and the high-speed Internet connection.
Besides this there is also Managed and Unmanaged colocation.Managed colocation, you pay for the server space and a team from your hosting company to manage your server for you. This is great for companies that want the control of colocation but don’t have an IT department to manage the server. Unmanaged is where you handle all the administration and management of the server yourself, including software updates, the Web server, and the site itself.
Ecommerce Web Hosting

Ecommerce Web hosting can be any of the above types of Web hosting, but it adds in another dimension: SSL or secure socket layer. If you’re going to sell something on the Web you’ll need to have a secure server to protect your customers.

Weblog Hosting – Many companies offer Weblogs and blog hosting rather than a Web site specifically. These are typically less expensive than Standard Web hosting, but you’re limited to a Web site that can be built with their blog software.
File and Image Hosting – some hosting services offer file and image storage, but not Web sites. These are great for file access and image storage, but you can’t put a Web site up on them.

Protection of website being hijecked


As the domain name registry industry grows, we’re likely to hear about even more scams, deceptive deals, and customer service woes.How could i protect my site from all these scams?

Research registry companies carefully before you register a new domain name.
Check your domain names.Whois listing periodically after registering it. The listing tells you which registry company holds your domain name–useful information if the company you originally did business with got swallowed up in a merger and you missed the announcement.
Keep careful track of the renewal dates for all your domain names. If you now use the URLs–or might someday use them–don’t let their registrations lapse.
Visitors judge you by the company you keep. So regularly check your site’s links to ensure they still go to reputable sites.
Besides this if you see a scam then you must report it.

Domain:

Choosing a domain name can be a challenge, however, because lots of domain names have already been taken. If the domain you want has been taken, you can try using dashes (-)or periods (.) to connect phrases.

Free Web hosting is typically advertisement-supported and offers limited features. This is the best option for those just starting out and only interested in hosting a small personal site that will be light on traffic.

Free WebHosting Service include a small amount of bandwidth and storage and tend to offer little to no support for MySQL, PHP, multiple e-mail addresses, and site statistics.
Shared hosting is the most popular kind of Web hosting service. Virtually all small businesses, medium to large Web sites, and professional sites see shared hosting as the perfect solution to their hosting needs.
shared Web hosts allow more than one site to be hosted on the same server. These hosts provide system administration, which is good for users that do not want to deal with the hassles of running a server along with a number of other user
Besides this there is also dedicated hosting…..It is devided into Unmanaged and Managed Dedicated hosting.
Dedicated server offers more bandwidth , storage, and other server features that free or shared hosting cannot offer.With this user can create unlimited numbers of databases and e-mail addresses that the user can create.If extra storage is required, a new hard drive can be purchased for the server.
But there is one limitation with Dedicated Server is that unmanaged dedicated requires you to have your own server administration.
Also it requires that you must have knowledge about your server.A starter cannot provide a dedicated services.
With Managed dedicated server you need not to bother about administration server.It helps in getting your server up and running, and you will have assistance readily available to you if something should ever go wrong.

Web reseller hosting


Friends at Reseller Hosting, Dedicated Hosting, Shared Hosting plans – CPWebHosting tell me that a Hosting resellers may offer a financially attractive package but i am not able to understand what a hosting reseller does.How can i make a decision to go for it really?

shared hosting puts many customers on a single web server. Generally most resellers are working with shared hosting.A hosting reseller will purchase a large block of shared resources directly from the hosting company and divide it up into smaller accounts. By purchasing a larger package at a discounted price the reseller makes a profit by marking up each smaller individual package

Always choose that reseller which is in this business from a long time.Because if anyhow he suffers a loss and decided to close his account anytime,then you will also suffer from his decision as you may lose your code and backups.So you have to be very perticular while choosing your web service provider.
However once your account is set-up all of your technical questions and support issues will be handled by the host and not the reseller.

Virtual hosting


What is virtual hosting and what are the benefits associated with it,friends at Reseller Hosting, Dedicated Hosting, Shared Hosting plans – CPWebHosting please tell me??

Well a virtual host manages multiple servers simultaneously.his system relies on virtual DNS resolution which permits specific domain names to be assigned to each web server. So, a single computer can then host many independent web sites. Virtual web hosting is either name based or IP based and allows a great degree of manageability, efficiency, and scalability of the infrastructure.
__________________

Virtual hosting is efficient in setting up your own web server.In “virtual” hosting, resources are not shared with other web sites. Each website is assigned fixed amounts of available resources. So, a single site cannot utilize disproportionately all the resources.
Virtual Server has its own operating system,hosting server,segment of disk space and in some cases specific hard drives on the server.So it remain unaffected by server crash or other technical problems by other sites.
Do your research well and find the near to perfect virtual host. Be sure to check referrals and blogs as well as forums for complaints.
Read all the fine print thoroughly and ask any questions you may have before signing up. Most virtual hosting providers offer back ups of your site, technical support, e-mail addresses, a web based GUI for you to manage your settings, and a e-commerce path that will allow shopping carts and customer support as well as loyalty programs.
Once terms and conditions are agreed upon, the hosting company will give you a login name and password, an IP address for your site, and the name of the “private directory” that is assigned to you. This is where you will upload your pages.
Register your domain name and be sure to ensure that the DNS record specifies the DNS server of the virtual hosting company. If your site is already registered then complete the required formalities to change the DNS records with your registrar.
Upload the pages to the virtual hosting directory.
Test the site after 3-4 days using the IP address. Once the DNS propagates across the web you will be able to access your site using its domain.
Virtual webhosting costs much lower than the cost of running a dedicated server and therefore the ideal choice for a small to mid sized web site that has outgrown shared hosting.
