The most elemental and commonly utilized variety of web hosting is the website hosting solution. It represents a means to host your web site without having to be much informed about programming and operating a web hosting server. In addition to this, it's also the cheapest form of hosting and it's in fact affordable for everyone. However, what is website hosting?

What is website hosting?

As the name suggests, the website hosting solution is a form of service where a lot of users share the reserves of the same web server. This suggests that all server constituents such as CPU, hard drives, RAM, NICs etc. are shared among the users whose accounts are on that same server. This is usually rendered tenable by opening separate accounts for the different clients and applying certain restrictions and resource usage quotas for each of them. Those restrictions are allocated so as to prevent the customers from meddling with each other's accounts and, of course, to hinder the server from overburdening. Normally, website hosting customers do not have full root access to the web hosting server's configuration files, which principally goes to say that they do not have access to anything else on the web server aside from their own personal web hosting account. The web hosting resources that each account may use are set by the web hosting firm that owns the hosting server and by the particular website hosting package. That predetermines the second important question:

How are the shared hosting web servers split among the customers?

Hosting corporations that offer website hosting packages typically have various web hosting plans. Those packages offer diverse amounts of web hosting features and specs, which in fact set the limits that a website hosting account will have. The customer may select between the separate web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he thinks will befit him best. The web hosting package will then define what limits the user's account will have, once set up. The costs and the specs of the web hosting plans are defined by the given hosting company. Based on the politics of the corporation, the website hosting solution can be divided into two groups - the free hosting solution and the common shared service, currently very popular among "cPanel hosting" vendors as a cloud web hosting one. It's impossible to announce, which one is better, since they are very different from each other and they actually are subject to the marketing policy of the specific corporation and, of course, the demands of the particular client.

What is the distinction between the free of charge and the normal website hosting service?

Of course, the primary difference between the free of cost and the paid solution is in the amount of features that they offer. Free hosting companies are not able to maintain an enormous number of web hosting servers, hence, they merely accommodate more users on one single web hosting server by decreasing the quantity of system resources offered by the accounts. This will be effective only if the servers are supervised and tackled properly, since the large amount of accounts may causer the web server to crash repeatedly. Most of the free hosting distributors, though, ignore the quality of the service and hence, it's quite difficult to discover a free of charge web hosting solution that's in fact worth the effort. The top free hosting companies typically offer free client support even to the free website hosting users, since they want their web pages to enlarge so that they subsequently upgrade to a paid website hosting plan, which offers more hosting resources. Such corporation, for example, is FreeHostia.com, which is one of the biggest and oldest free web hosting corporations worldwide.

At the same time, established website hosting providers like us, are able to maintain plenty of web servers and therefore, we are able to provide much more powerful website hosting packages. Of course, that affects the cost of the web hosting packages. Paying a higher fee for a website hosting service, however, does not necessarily denote that this package has a finer quality. The best solutions are the balanced ones, which offer a price that corresponds to the real service which you're receiving. Moreover, we also give a free bonus with the web hosting plan, such as the 1-click applications installer, accompanied by hundreds of cost-free website themes. As a web hosting firm, we do care about our good name and this is the reason why if you pick us, you can be assured that you won't get deluded into purchasing a solution that you cannot in fact utilize.

What should I expect from a website hosting solution?

The website hosting service is best for people who wish to host a standard site, which is going to swallow a small or medium amount of web traffic every month. You cannot expect, though, that a website hosting account will last you a lifetime, since as your business grows bigger, your website will become more and more demanding. Hence, you will have to eventually upgrade to a more powerful website hosting service like a semi-dedicated web hosting, a VPS web hosting (also known as a virtual private hosting server, or VPS), or even a dedicated web hosting. So, when choosing a web hosting vendor, you should also reflect about scalability, or else you might end up migrating your domain manually to a different company, which can cause web site problems and even continuous downtime for your site. If you select Suuh Hosting as your website hosting company, you can rest safe that we can provide you with the required domain name and hosting services as you get bigger, is crucial and will spare you a lot of predicaments in the future.
