What is Web Hosting?

Web hosting is a service that deals with publishing a website or web application on the Internet, enabling viewers to visit your site. These services are offered by professional web hosting companies. The businesses rent space on a server to host the website, where all the files and necessary data is stored for the site to work efficiently. Most web hosting providers necessitate that the organization owns its individual domain to host the website.

Websites are hosted, stored, and distributed over the servers. To view a website, Internet users simply need to enter the website address or domain into their browser. The computer subsequently connects to the server and displays the requested web pages through the browser.

What Are the Different Types of Web Hosting Services?

Before hosting a site, businesses need to decide upon the amount of space they need allotting on a server. This is primarily determined based on the type of hosting.

The different types of hosting are:

  • Shared Hosting
  • VPS Hosting
  • Cloud Hosting
  • Dedicated Server Hosting
  • WordPress Hosting

1. Shared Hosting:

Shared hosting is one of the most prevalent types of web hosting solutions. Shared hosting enables sharing the server amongst the other clients of the web hosting agency. With shared hosting, a single server maintains all the files for multiple sites at once and is accountable for hosting the information about them. This system further shares all the resources amongst the various customers, such as memory space, disk space, computing power, etc. It is a low-cost, beginner-friendly option. Moreover, the maintenance and the administration of the server is the service provider's responsibility. However, the clients have negligible control over the configuration of the server. Another con is that traffic surges on sites of other users can slow down your website.

2. VPS Hosting:

VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting allows clients to share a server with other users. However, the web hosting companies allocate a separate segment on the server. This implies that the customer gets a dedicated server space along with a fixed amount of computing capability and memory. VPS hosting, thus, facilitates easy scalability and customizability. It is an ideal system for medium-sized businesses with quickly expanding websites. However, to get the best of these systems, basic to advanced technical and server knowledge is essential. Besides, it is more expensive than shared hosting.

3. Cloud Hosting:

Cloud hosting is one of the most reliable hosting solutions. This service employs multiple servers to balance the load between the different users to effectively reduce system downtime. Cloud hosting hosts provide their customers with a "cluster" of servers. The files and resources are duplicated on each of these servers. Whenever one of the cloud servers is occupied or encounters any problems, the sites' traffic is automatically routed to a different server in the cluster. One of the chief benefits of cloud hosting solutions is that it offers a "pay as you use" pricing module.

4. Dedicated Server Hosting:

Dedicated hosting signifies that clients have a private physical server that's dedicated solely to their site. Dedicated hosting grants complete control over the server, enabling incredible optimization and flexibility. The customers can configure the server as required and opt for the operating system and software needed, and establish the whole hosting environment. Dedicated hosting is highly reliable and secure, as well as allows rooting access to the server. However, the number of resources used, such as storage space, bandwidth, RAM, etc. impacts the overall pricing model of the system.

5. WordPress Hosting:

WordPress hosting is a form of shared hosting, designed for WordPress site owners. The server is configured explicitly for WordPress and offers pre-installed plugins for essential things, such as caching and security. WordPress hosting solutions generally incorporate additional WordPress-related features like pre-designed WordPress themes, specific developer tools, drag-and-drop page builders, etc. It is incredibly cost-efficient and enables one-click WordPress installation. However, WordPress hosting is highly recommended exclusively for WordPress sites.
