Shared Hosting : Shared hosting is a common hosting solution and it is very cheap. It allows you to share a single server’s resources with a few hundred other small sites. If you consider price as the most important factor, then it is the right way to go.

VPS (Virtual Private Server) : A VPS allows you to have more control over your site for development, and also handle higher traffic but here you’re sharing the server with few other sites only.

Dedicated Hosting : If you want absolute control over all the technical aspects of hosting your sites, and then it is the right way to go.

Managed Hosting : This means that a company takes care of all the technical details of the hosting and be ensure that your WordPress site is served in a very fast way, not more than seconds and its speed balance with high traffic loads.

Choose A Host That Matches Your Home Business Needs


Actually webhosting means if one compares the web to land hosing is the place where your office or website will be placed. Server is the computer which stores your website files and allows them to be viewed on clicking the link to your site.

With free hosting out of question for business and dedicated hosting being too expensive, shared hosting is the only and good option for home business. As the name suggests, in shared hosting your site is stored with many others unlike dedicated hosting which stores only your site.

This is the space on hard disk of your server that will be allotted to your site. Without graphics a typical web page occupies 40 – 50 Kb. Now 1000 kb = 1 MB. Allowing space for graphics too and need for any future expansion anything between 50 -100 MB should be good enough if you are not running a flashy website.

A very important aspect and often overlooked. This is the amount of actual data that can be transferred from the web server that holds your website. This lets you formulate an e-mail address on your site address e.g. anything@ your sitename.com where anything can be support, live support, help, info, subscribe etc. So these are the main things through which you can make things according to your demand.

To Share or Not To Share?


When looking for a hosting solution for your web site you’ll discover you have the choice of shared or dedicated hosting.

Shared hosting is what it says it is. Your web site shares a server with other web sites. You don’t have access to the other web sites files, they don’t have access to yours and you don’t share a domain name. What you do share is the machine and the scripts that are pre-installed on it. Why would you do this? Because it’s cheaper.

The cost of setting up a server machine is not inexpensive. Even relatively large web sites are only a few hundred megabytes, so today’s computers with multiple hard drives are easily able to handle the space. There can be as many as one or two hundred web sites on a shared server.

You’ll find there are different platforms available in shared hosting too. You will find Unix/Linux or Windows NT/2000 as your platform. You don’t have to choose the platform your PC is running. This has nothing to do with what the server needs to operate on. Unix platforms are very stable and are perfect if you have a site using mostly HTML pages, PHP or CGI. If you are using scripting such as Active Server Pages, have designed your web site using FrontPage, or need access to a Microsoft Access or SQL Server database, you need a Windows platform.

Shared hosting usually comes with a heap of extras and most are included in the price. You can get email, auto-responders, pre-installed scripts including counters and mail scripts, password protected directories, your own cgi-bin, and browser based control panels, secure directories and more.

However, if you need complete control of your server, you need a dedicated server. Obviously if you’re not going to share the server with anyone, it is going to be more expensive.

Dedicated servers are usually only required by experienced developers. If you’re not sure if you need a dedicated server, then you probably only need shared hosting.

Managed hosting A great option


For managing a very high traffic website you will definitely tuned for Dedicated server as it is suitable for handling heavy load on your website.But as far as management is concerned many companies go for ‘Managed Hosting‘.

Its natural that this question may arise in our minds that’What is the difference between Dedicated Hosting and Managed Hosting’?

A dedicated hosting solution you are given your own private server and have complete control over its use. That is why dedicated servers are capable of handling too many visitors of a website.However you are responsible to manage that server yourself. Some of the issues you will deal with include selection of hardware and operating systems, choosing applications, dealing with security issues, backing up your data, monitoring for up-time and lots more.

Managed hosting is a gateway for dedicated hosting. You not only have your own dedicated server, but the Managed Host provides all or part of the management, maintenance, and monitoring needs for you.

Cost of Managed Hosting:

To be frank, managed hosting costs much then other hosting.But this cost can be amortized through high quality maintenance.When compared to the cost of having full-time IT staffing in-house managed hosting becomes very cost effective. One benefit is that the outsourcing can be scaled to your particular needs. The managed host can provide a little or a lot depending on your growth and traffic.

Collocation Hosting : Overview


collocating Server means its your responsibility to choose your own software and hardwares that keep the server always ready for operations and keep the server updated. The hosting company maintains the connection to the Internet and deals with environmental details such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), fire controls, and air conditioning. On the other hand, you’re responsible for that server’s upkeep.
This sometimes misinterpreted that collocation is identical to dedicated hosting. But its merely a misconception.With collocation you constantly have to maintain all the server resources so as to provide flexibility and un-haulted services to your customers.

When you opt for dedicated server collocation with the hosting company, you pay for the physical space that your server takes up. collocation hosting usually requires a higher startup cost than renting a server from a hosting company. The server itself will cost around $4000 for a low-end model, and $9000 for a midrange server. A half-rack of space at a colocation facility will cost between $500 and $700 to start up and the same amount each month. Finally, you’ll have to purchase a switch or a router, which will cost between $1500 and $2000 at the low end. This would result in an initial outlay of at least $7500 — and it doesn’t include the costs of staff time for setup and configuration, or the cost of equipment depreciation, insurance, and the standby equipment.

Brief about Dedicated Server


What is a Dedicated Server?
Dedicated Servers give a company the flexibility of having a dedicated machine for their website(s). All dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service are internet based where the client or website owner took an entire server on rent and it is not shared with anyone. This provides flexibility and reliability, as organizations or client have full control over the server. They have independence of choosing their own operating system, hardware or anything.They rule the server and have all the authorities of it. They may load multiple websites on their servers.

Bandwidth and Connectivity

Bandwidth is a fundamental parameter that determines the quality of web hosting service provider. E-commerce websites that sell products or services online are likely to have high volumes of traffic to their websites. More web traffic requires increased data transfer levels and thus higher bandwidth.It is usually represented in bits (of data) per second (bps). Access providers provide the connectivity that supplies the bandwidth, or data transfer rate, through various connection points across a network or multiple data centers, where dedicated servers are located.

By securing multiple vendors for connectivity and using redundant hardware, providers are able to guarantee higher uptimes; usually between 99-100%.

Operating System Support

Factors like availability, price and familiarity, often determines which operating systems to choose for dedicated servers. Variations of Linux, an open-source operating system, are often included at no additional charge to customers, whereas, Microsoft requires additional license fees, which can increase the monthly cost of a dedicated server operating on a Windows operating system. The Microsoft Windows Server, is offered through the Microsoft SPLA program. Commercial versions of Linux are offered to web hosting providers on a monthly fee basis. The monthly fee typically provides OS updates through a network, using specific applications. Other operating systems available from the open source community at no charge, include centOS, Fedora Core, FreeBSD, Debian, among others.

Support operating systems utilized, usually depend upon the management level afforded by individual dedicated server plan. Operating system support may include updates to the core system in order to acquire the latest security fixes, patches, and system-wide vulnerability resolutions. Updates to core operating systems include kernel upgrades, service packs, application updates, and security patches that keep server secure and safe. Operating system updates and support relieves the burden of server management from the dedicated server owner.

The Linux kernel was first released to the public on 17 September 1991, for the Intel x86 PC architecture. The kernel was augmented with system utilities and libraries from the GNU project to create a usable operating system, which led to an alternative term, GNU/Linux.[2] Linux is packaged for different uses in Linux distributions, which contain the sometimes modified kernel along with a variety of other software packages tailored to different requirements. Predominantly known for its use in servers, Linux is supported by corporations such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Novell, Oracle Corporation, Red Hat, and Sun Microsystems. It is used as an operating system for a wide variety of computer hardware, including desktop computers, supercomputers, video game systems, such as PlayStation 2, 3, several arcade games, and embedded devices, such as mobile phones and routers.

User-mode Linux (UML) allows multiple virtual Linux systems (known as guests) to run as an application within a normal Linux system (known as the linux hosting). As each guest is just a normal application running as a process in user space, this approach provides the user with a way of running multiple virtual Linux machines on a single piece of hardware, offering excellent security and safety without affecting the host environment’s configuration or stability.
