WEB HOSTING

• Web hosting- is a service of providing online space for storage of web pages. The companies that offer these
services are known as the web hosts.

• These websites are hosted on a server called a web server and these servers run 24hrs and 7 days.

• It is impossible to host a web site on your personal computer because it will exhaust your computer, unlike the
server that has its own special coolant hardware that keeps it cool so it can run 24hrs without over heating.
TYPES OF WEB HOSTING
• Shared Hosting

• Virtual Private Server

• Dedicated Server

• Reseller Hosting

• Grid Hosting
• Shared hosting
In shared hosting the company puts thousands of websites in a single physical server. Each
customer has their own allocation of physical web space and a set of bandwidth limit. As all the
websites share the same physical memory, MYSQL server and Apache server, one website on the
server experiencing high traffic load will affect performance of all websites on the server.

• Virtual Private Server (Vps)


Also known as Virtual Dedicated Server. It is a server which is partitioned into smaller servers. In
this kind of hosting the customer is given their own partition, which is installed with it’s own
Operating System. Unlike shared hosting, VPS doesn’t share memory or processor time rather it
allocates certain amount of memory and CPU to use which means that any problem on a VPS
partition on the same drive will not affect other VPS customers.

• Dedicated Server
In this kind of hosting, a single dedicated server is setup for just one customer. It is commonly
used by the businesses that need the power, control and security that a dedicated server offers.
• Reseller Hosting
A reseller acts as a middle man and sells hosting space of someone else’s server.

• Grid Hosting
Instead of utilizing one server, Grid Hosting spreads resources over a large number of servers. It
is quiet stable and flexible. The servers can be added or taken away from the grid without
crashing the system.
