Different Sorts Of Webhosting
We will be looking at all the types of webhosting available to you. You can choose from three basic types and then three more advanced types of hosting as well. The basic ones are free where you have limited space and bandwidth, and like all free lunches nothing is free so full of adverts and pop ups. With shared hosting you get a great amount of resources for the amount you pay, plus no adverts. With reseller hosting is aimed at those people wanting to run their own hosting company. The advanced types we are only going to quickly touch on. A Virtual Private Server or VPS you rent a virtual part of a dedicated server, to then host your website on. This is where you pay to have the whole server to your self. Co-lo is where you have your physical server hosted in a data centre by another company.
Free Hosting
Unfortunately like many things their is no such thing as a free lunch. This most certainly the case with free hosting and will get a sub domain off of a domain like, mygreatwebsite.somepoordomain.tk. You normally find that your site will be full of horrible ads and pop-ups. All the sort of things that any classy website would not have. You might also have to keep loging in or update the website every so many days, weeks or months etc to keep your website alive. So use this type of hosting at your own risk!
The Shared type of hosting
Shared Hosting you have your website hosted on the same server as other people. This tends to be quite pocket pleasing for just about every level of user. Shared hosting can vary in terms of quality, from standard shared hosting through to business class web hosting. You normally get good sizing of resources, email,disk space and bandwidth along with other stuff. You Can use any domain with just about any TLD or topleveldomain for short. Even better still the only adverts you get are the ones you add!
The Reseller type hosting
By definition reselling means resold which is what you do with this. A premium is normally paid for reseller accounts This is to cover the extra support that would be expected to come with the extra resources used. These types of account allow to set your own size products to then sell on to other customers. There is not a normal reason that I can think of that anyone would want a reseller account if not using to sell. Should you need more resources than a standard shared hosting company offers, email them and request a custom price and specification for your needs.
VPS, Dedicated and Co-located Servers
Cpanel hosting isn’t always enough. This is all advanced stuff normally used by the advanced home user or a company. This is where you would need more resources like RAM or CPU time, which a hosting company would suspend or terminate you for unfair usage etc.
