Shared Web Hosting Explained

Shared web hosting is a kind of Internet service that permits persons and companies to render their sites accessible on the web. Web hosting service providers are companies that offer storage space on a web hosting server physically located in a data center and guarantee continuous Internet connectivity.

Where do you start?

The Internet is an indispensable staple in our daily life. It offers you the chance to make additional cash, but can also be a major source of income. In order to incorporate commercials on your website or to publicize a service that you sell, you always require a hosting solution, which will ensure that your web site is secure and constantly reachable. But how do you discover one that is cheap and yet stable enough?

The shared hosting platform

The solution web hosting service providers have brought forth is named shared hosting. With the shared hosting solution, multiple shared web hosting account holders are hosted on the same server. There are harsh limits on the system resources that each shared web hosting account can in fact resort to, thus making certain that they do not intervene with each other. The shared hosting solution offers good performance and costs less than, let's say, a dedicated hosting server, which is utilized by only one single client. The shared solution permits shared web hosting companies to offer their clients competitive prices. It usually includes easy-to-use hosting Control Panel software, as is the case with the server that we at BMK Host provide, and allows everybody to administer their web portals without worrying about server installation and maintenance procedures, which are handled solely by the hosting company.

VPS web hosting

With the VPS web hosting solution, on the other hand, you share a physical machine with other VPS server web hosting customers, but you are allocated a dedicated share of the resources. The virtual private web server solution is the middle ground between the much more affordable shared web hosting solution and the more expensive dedicated hosting solution, and is a perfect solution for anyone who wants to make, for example, a live streaming site or a community web site. The circumstance that you have to take care of the web server configuration settings and software updates yourself is somewhat of a disadvantage, but this could also be a great upside if you really need to implement some server configuration modifications - something that would be impossible on a shared server.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Dedicated web hosting servers are in the majority of circumstances much more high-priced than shared hosting or virtual server hosting solutions. You might wonder why would anyone want to use a dedicated web server then? The answer is pretty simple. If your company has a heavy-traffic web site, or just has very exact web server setup and safety requirements, the most suitable option is a dedicated server that you or your techs can manage directly. For somebody who is willing to invest in safety and dependability, the greater price is not a problem. You get root privileges and can utilize 100 percent of the physical machine's resources without anyone else utilizing these resources and intervening with your web sites.
