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.

What Are the Benefits of Hiring Web Hosting Companies?

Investing in web hosting agencies has several advantages for businesses hosting their site, such as:

1. Cost-Effective:

The best web hosting companies have a team of experts who comprehend the services that the business requires and deliver the precise solution. Moreover, they are dedicated to provide the quality expected and ensure that the services are cost-effective and above par. This enables the clients to concentrate on the core operations of the business.

2. Reliability:

Having web hosting companies manage all your hosting requirements enable clients to attain the best solutions available. A trustworthy hosting solution can help the site to work efficiently and reach the targeted audience. They also offer the company a domain name that resonates with the brand name along with the ability to choose their email accounts.

3. Technical Support:

One of the most significant advantages of hiring an expert web hosting provider is receiving professional technical support. They focus on providing customized hosting services to their clients. Any technical glitch can hinder the operations of the site, and a lack of appropriate customer support can result in a monetary and reputational loss for the company. Moreover, businesses can receive 24/7 service to maximize the uptime of the site.

4. Data & Space Management:

Investing in professional web hosting services offers businesses complete control over content management. The staff can publish articles as per business requirements while deciding the look and feel of the post. Moreover, there are no limitations concerning the number of ads. Web hosting solutions also offer access to a vast amount of bandwidth as well as data. This further facilitates the addition of multiple numbers of pages to the website.

5. Additional Security:

The best web hosting companies offer added security to the site by frequently scanning for viruses, performing security audits, and updating OS. These solutions help fix any security issues while preventing external attacks. Moreover, in the case of a data breach, the professional service providers offer robust data recovery solutions. The data is regularly updated and backed-up online, thereby avoiding loss of data.

What Are the Factors Affecting the Cost of Hosting?

Various parameters affect the aggregate cost of web hosting, such as:

1. Operating System: The type of OS plays a significant role in determining the cost of web hosting services. For example, Windows is a proprietary Operating system as opposed to Linux, making it comparatively a little costlier option.
2. Domain and Email: Most web hosting companies quote their prices considering the number of domain and email accounts required by their client. Although initial domain hosting and email accounts are complimentary, additional solutions add to the final expenses.
3. Traffic Volume: A heavy traffic flow requires a dedicated server, which is more expensive than shared hosting solutions, which are not capable of managing the pressure of massive traffic volume.
4. Memory: A site requires additional space to contain images, videos, as well as a database to store customer details. A large website requires more of these facilities, increasing the cost of website hosting.
5. Scripting Languages: The prices of web hosting services depend on the complexities of scripting technology. For instance, PHP, ASP.Net, etc. require additional support from web hosting services as opposed to a site developed using HTML.

How Much Does Web Hosting Cost?

Apart from the features employed, the cost of hosting a site also varies depending on the type of hosting solution.

  • Shared hosting - It is one of the most cost-efficient web hosting options available. Shared hosting is ideal for sites that have limited use of bandwidth and storage facilities. However, you may encounter occasional outages and slow speed. The price of incorporating shared hosting ranges between $5 to $10 per month.
  • Cloud hosting -  Cloud hosting provides services across a cluster of shared servers, ensuring that even during the failure of a single segment, the other divisions run flawlessly. It also offers clients more flexibility and scalability. Cloud hosting prices vary vastly on the needs, ranging between $5 to $50 per month
