It gives the knowledge of various types web hosting.

1. BEST WEB
HOSTING

2. THREE TYPES OF HOSTING
PLANS AVAILABLE
 Shared hosting
 VPS server hosting
 Dedicated hosting

3. SHARED HOSTING
 Shared web hosting means that there is
one server (hardware and software) and
many sites are hosted on it.
 You do not have total control on the
server.
 Web hosts provide control panels to access
the site and to maximize the revenue per
server.

4. VPS SERVER HOSTING
 This kind of hosting refers to one physical
server being partitioned off into separate,
multiple virtual servers.
 Each of the virtual servers has the same
appearance and features as having a
dedicated server
 It can run on it's own operating system
and also be independently rebooted.

5. DEDICATED HOSTING
 Dedicated servers offer a completely dedicated
solution solely for your website.
 You will have all the servers resources,
processing power, web space, memory at your
websites disposal.

6. VPS hosting

7.  A VPS connects the gap between shared
web hosting services and dedicated
hosting services.
 Its cost is far less than a dedicated server.
 It can install any software running on the
operating system.

8.  Both VPS and dedicated hosting gives you
full control of the server.
 As the admin, you can customize the
hosting environment. You can't do that in
a shared environment.

9.  VPS also allows customers to host
multiple websites on their partition and
add domains themselves.
 You can host clients' sites or offer private
label reseller accounts, too with VPS
servers.
 This makes VPS an excellent option for
webmasters, website design firms and
freelance website designers.

10.  Obviously a virtual private server is a
great option if you require total
management over your virtual server.
 This will require the knowledge to setup,
maintain, secure and optimize your
server.
 Any licenses like cPanel, Direct Admin,
etc will come at an extra price.
 Server management may come at an extra
price, etc.

11. VPS SERVER TYPES
Windows VPS, Linux VPS
Linux VPS is cheaper than windows VPS.

12. RAM
 If your VPS has 384 MB of guaranteed or
dedicated RAM, and 1024 MB of
burstable RAM. This means after you
have used up your guaranteed RAM, there
is still 640MB backup RAM available for
burst usage. This is the only reason we
always keep few extra memory with each
server at all times as the burstable RAM.
 If your VPS constantly requires more
resources than your package guarantees,
they can quickly arrange an upgrade
for you to a VPS hosting plan with much
more guaranteed resources.

13.  A VPS reside on the same server, but it's
really a virtual server. That means no
physical server exist. The VPS is
partitioned using sophisticated server
software.
 The VPS operates and work like a
standalone server but in reality, it's still
on a shared server.
 However, the software is able to isolate
the server into different "compartments"
so that one "compartment" won't affect the
other.

14.  VPS offers many of the benefits of
dedicated server hosting at a lower price,
but there are some potential
disadvantages to consider.
 VPS servers must be maintained by the
customer, and that includes updates as
well as security.
 Managing you own VPS server can take a
significant amount of time and demands a
good deal of technical expertise

15. VPS/DEDICATED
 Both types of hosting gives you a fixed
amount of server resources. These
resources (i.e. RAM and hard disk space)
are allocated to your account, and they are
for your use only.
 In a shared environment, the resources
are shared. That is why some websites
tend to load slower on a shared server,
even though it's just a static website.
 On a VPS or dedicated server, you will not
experience this issue.

16.  Obviously, having a dedicated server
ensures that your site is more scalable.
More resources - Hosting it on a dedicated
server would be a waste of resources. The
majority of the websites require only a
shared server or a VPS server.
 For community sites that are immensely
popular, a dedicated server is a must. If
you a starting a new site, you don't have
to sign up for a dedicated machine
immediately. You can sign up for a VPS
account, and migrate to a dedicated
environment if your website becomes
popular enough.

17. REDUCING IT WORRIES
WITH A DEDICATED
SERVER

18.  A very important benefit of using a
dedicated server is that as the sole user
you have absolute control over what
happens on the server, such as which
scripts are run, and which types of
online activities are allowed.
 As one user on a server comprising many
businesses, however, you may be affected
by the activities of others, which are
something outside of your control, causing
downtime at very inconvenient moments.
Another user can slow down the entire
network or, in the worst case scenario,
cause it to crash entirely.

19.  With a dedicated server, performance and
reliability are not affected by other
users.
 You are pretty much guaranteed
permanent uptime unless it is your own
activities causing problems.

20.  You can therefore plan ahead and try out
new software or to carry out required
maintenance activities during off-peak
times or overnight, and do not have to
worry about the possibility of your server
and your website becoming inaccessible
during peak times.
 A dedicated server therefore leads to
enhanced security and stability for your
business.

21.
There are two sub
categories of dedicated
server hosting

22. MANAGED AND UNMANAGED
DEDICATED SERVER HOSTING
 Most of the people are unable to decide
whether to select managed or unmanaged
server.
 With unmanaged hosting you will get
basic services like hardware maintenance
and basic operating system installation
rest you have to manage by yourself
including all application software
installations and security tools.

23.  Whereas in managed hosting your
hosting company will take care of
everything. It manages your hardware,
operating system, install application
software, security software, firewall
installations, perform the backup and
take all possible measures to keep you
server secure. As compared to unmanaged
hosting it is costly; you have to pay for
these services.

24. THERE ARE SEVERAL IMPORTANT
ADVANTAGES TO HAVING A
DEDICATED SERVER.
 You will need this service if you have a
very large website with plenty of traffic.
 It will support large database applications
and streaming media. Businesses that
use webcast radio or TV need to have this
technology.

25.  If you are looking for super high speed
bandwidth this will provide the power
you require.
 Using a dedicated service means that
you have all the bandwidth to yourself
which automatically raises the level of
reliability significantly.

26.  Security is another issue that can
frustrate users on a shared service, but
with a dedicated host you have control
over the security measures that are
installed, so you can insist they meet your
demand.
 You will also have complete control over
all the websites on your server.
 You will also experience the cost per
website decreasing when you can host
them all on the same server.

27.  Something else you may need to consider is
your need to add POP3 accounts and FTP
accounts.
 A shared host will typically charge more
money for these additions, but with a
dedicated server you can make these add-ons
at no extra charge.
 And last, but not least, if your website is
achieving a very high volume of traffic
throughout the day, you will notice a
dramatic improvement in your websites
performance once
