Web Hosting

Web hosting is a special service which allow storing the online project in a special part of a server and broadcasting over the internet. The web server is a sort of powerful computer where lots of web hosting plans can be reserved, kept and managed by hosting company and customer. If hosting company have a website it can be hosted from their own server, which is located in the office, or this can be done from outsourced service.

The server hardware is an expensive one. Also its maintenance require come cooling solutions, multiple internet providers and uninterpretable electricity support. These requirements are the basic ones for the small website, therefore if company considers buying everything and hiring a special person to manage the server, it may be thousands of dollars investment.

Web hosting is also called shared hosting because one server is the place for tens or even hundreds of hosting plans. Thus shared hosting means that one customer share the server space and resources with others without knowing who they are.

Web hosting is inexpensive and affordable hosting service, mostly used by small and medium companies and for personal needs. It is OK to host small and medium size projects, but more complex projects need more powerful solutions, for example Virtual Private Server. Anyway, shared web hosting is the most popular hosting type in the World.
