Web Hosting: What is the difference?
- Image via Wikipedia
Yesterday a friend of mine called me to know how to set up a website for his healthy-wealthy company. We started talking about web hosting, bandwidth, monthly disc space, monthly transfer and all those things. He said: I don’t care too much about all those jargons, I need a host to manage my files easily and 24/7 friendly customer service. I told him to look if he is going to own his website, he needs to host his website on a web server.
We typed in Google search “web hosting” and we got some
results. What is the difference? He said. There are different kinds of web hosting companies out there like shared hosting that websites share the same space on the same physical web servers or there is dedicated hosting which is used only by one customer
,they are normally expensive and used by important companies. There are also two other kinds of web hosting: “Co-location hosting and reseller hosting” .The former owns the web server hardware so the customer has full control over web server. In this case, what we have got right on the screen, is the search result mainly for reseller-hosting. They offer you service at a discount price and if you got some problem with your site they take your queries to the main provider, so they act like a third party. Therefore you should be extremely cautious and compare their hosting prices and information in order to find what you need. “So
what should I do now?” He said: I told him to compare web hosting services under $5 per month offering PHP & MySQL, UNIX, Windows and Front page. In addition by contacting the providers directly, one can find the best tailored web hosting.
Good luck.
