Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server owned or leased for use by clients, as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet.
There are a fiew tipes of Web Hosting Services;
Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
Many people put up their first websites through their ISPs,
because it's generally easy and inexpensive. Most ISP service packages
include a small amount of free web space, along with tools to create and
upload websites quickly and easily. ISP websites are perfect for people
who want to put up small sites with low amounts of traffic. However,
there are usually rate restrictions, and most ISPs don't offer a lot of
features, so they might not be the best choice for a thriving business
website.
Paid Hosting
With paid hosting, you pay a fee for space and services on a web
hosting provider's server. Monthly fees can range from a few dollars to
several hundred dollars. Obviously, the more you pay, the more features
you should have at your disposal. Services can include CGI access,
database support, ASP, e-commerce, SSL, additional space on the server,
extra bandwidth, and more.
Domain Hosting
A good option for small businesses is to pay for domain hosting.
Domain hosting allows you to host your site anywhere you like: on an
ISP, a free hosting service, or even your own server. You buy a domain
name and have the provider forward all requests for that domain to the
actual web location. This is often less expensive than buying both the
domain and the hosting service, and it allows businesses to brand their
URLs.
Collocation
Collocation is an option for businesses that want to run their
own web servers and machines, but don't want to have to maintain them
directly. With collocation, the website owner places its own server on
the premises of its ISP or other host, where it is stored, maintained,
and provided with an uninterrupted power supply. Collocation provides
security and protection for your server while still giving you control
of your own equipment.
Direct Internet Access
Hosting your site yourself offers you the most control over your
web server. Companies with large data centers or that require high
security in every aspect of their web and Internet access should look
into this type of hosting.
And much more..
When choosing a web host, it's important
to keep your personal or corporate
goals in mind. If it's your own personal
website, you might not mind if the
web host puts banner ads on it. However,
if it's a corporate site you're preparing,
you might want your website to look as professional as possible. Orbex Solutions Ltd hosting provides a high quality service that meets your all your needs.
