A description of web space hosting

As its name denotes, web hosting is a service, which entails hosting online content. There are various varieties and kinds of hosting, depending on the goals and on the usage. However, they all entail hosting files, which, once hosted, are made accessible throughout the World Wide Web. A web host is actually a web hosting service that is linked to the World Wide Web and has its own IP address, which permits people to have access to it via the World Wide Web. The web server's configuration and its limitations depend on the type of hosting service it will be used for.

What are the different types of web hosting?

Depending on the mission, the professional hosting service may be:

File Storage Hosting - this type of web hosting allows the clients to stash their files on a specific hosting server. With the normal file hosting solution, the files that are saved may only be accessed by the customer that's using the service. This web hosting service typically applies to backups of computers , docs, personal files and even other servers. This solution may also include given restrictions when it comes to the server storage space and the root access. There may also be bandwidth limits, but that is dependent on the particular hosting provider.

Warez Web Hosting - the so-called warez hosting solution is very similar to the previous hosting service form. In spite of that, unlike the file storage hosting service, the warez hosting solution is used for propagating copyrighted materials without the approval of the licence owner. To put it briefly - it refers to the forbidden circulation of files and materials. There are numerous approaches for this to be achieved, but the two essential ways are - via simple Hypertext Transfer Protocol downloading and through P2P connections. The first one involves either a given web page, or, most typically, just a directory on a web hosting server that's been made available for everyone to access it and thus download patented files for free. The second method involves a peer-to-peer connection, making use of the so-called Torrent web servers, via which people share files between each other. There aren't many web hosting corporations that permit that type of web hosting on their web servers, chiefly due to all the judicial troubles that it entails. Commonly such sites are hosted on private dedicated servers that are registered by 3rd party firms either in the Middle East or in Asia.

Mail Web Hosting - this service is used with both shared web site hosting and dedicated hosting servers, based on the customer's desire. If you wish to have your own personal SMTP mail server, then you will need either a VPS web server or a dedicated web hosting server that offers the level of access needed to execute such a procedure. For regular e-mail hosting ends, however, you can create an average shared web space hosting account, to which you can point the mail exchanger records of your domain. This is not a solution that's widely popular, because the site hosting and the electronic mail hosting services are being served by 2 separate servers, usually owned by separate companies.

Web Page Hosting - the most widely spread and largely used hosting service nowadays. It's used for hosting site files, whose type is determined by the Operating System the hosting server is running - Linux or Windows. Different types of files request different web server OSs, or else they won't be shown properly on the World Wide Web. This type of web hosting may have server storage space and bandwidth restrictions, root access and central processing unit usage restrictions.

Based on the goals and on the objectives, the user should pick the sort of hosting server that he demands for his work, and, of course, the web space hosting provider that's going to provide it. There are different types of servers, depending on the specs and the web hosting services that they provide. These are:

Shared Web Hosting Server - a shared site hosting server provides a smaller amount of system resources, which, of course, is manifested in the price of the service. It can be used for hosting small scale and medium size web pages, which do not demand vast quantities of disk storage space and traffic.

Semi-Dedicated Servers - they work on the very same principle as the shared web space hosting servers. Yet, there are much less clients hosted on the same web server. Therefore, each of them will enjoy a larger share of the web server's resources like RAM, server storage, web traffic and CPU. Excellent for hosting popular sites that do not demand full root-level access.

Virtual Servers - the VPSs are ideal for middle scale web portals, which do need root-level access to the web server's configuration files. Commonly, there are a number of private virtual server accounts placed on the same machine. In spite of that, each of them is isolated from the rest and runs its own OS.

Dedicated Servers Hosting - a completely dedicated web hosting server set up and accessed by you and only you. It ensures an immense quantity of system resources. It also includes complete server root access, which makes it a perfect environment for any sort of web portal that necessitates a website hosting solution.

The only question that's left is:

Which web site hosting company should I choose?

As already stated, there are not many providers providing warez web hosting solutions because of legal predicaments. Such web hosting companies are being shut down virtually every month. Because of that, if you wish to set up such a service, you should do it on your very own PC. The shared web site hosting solution is the most widespread kind of web hosting service. Hence, each and every web site hosting distributor offers it. Not all of them, though, offer solutions such as VPSs, semi-dedicated web hosting servers and dedicated servers. Most of the small scale website hosting suppliers do not have the resources demanded for offering those solutions. For that reason it's always best to settle on a bigger company that can provide its customers with all the solutions that they seek. You can quickly recognize such web hosting companies by the sorts of services that they are offering and by the way that they present them to the clients. For example, certain companies permit you to commence with a small sized hosting account and then move to a more advanced one, if you deem it mandatory to do so. This is very suitable, because you do not need to move web sites between web servers and there is no chance of suffering network downtime due to all the problems that may show up. Hosting companies like TangoWW offer all kinds of services and possess the adequate server resources and staff to ensure that their clients will not face any complications when changing services, which is what a top hosting vendor is actually all about.
