Shared Web Hosting Description

The most standard and frequently used form of web hosting is the web hosting solution. It's a means to host your web page without having to be much informed about programming and operating a web hosting server. What's more, it's also the cheapest type of web hosting and it's quite affordable for everybody. However, what is web hosting?

As the name designates, the web hosting service is a type of service where numerous clients share the resources of one and the same web server. This means that all web server ingredients like CPU, hard disks, RAM, network interface cards and so on, are allocated among the customers whose accounts are on that very same server. This is typically made accomplishable by creating separate accounts for the different clients and fixing specific limits and quotas for each of them. Those limits are appointed so as to hinder the clients from intervening with each other's accounts and, of course, to hinder the web hosting server from overburdening. Usually, web hosting users do not have complete root-level access to the server's config files, which essentially implies that they do not have access to anything else on the web server beside their very own website hosting account. The website hosting features that each account may use are determined by the web hosting distributor that owns the web server and by the respective website hosting package. That brings about the second vital question:

How are the shared hosting web servers split among the customers?

Web hosting providers that provide web hosting accounts normally have different website hosting plans. Those packages involve diverse quotas of website hosting features and specs, which in fact determine the limits that a website hosting package will include. The client may select between the individual web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he believes will fit him best. The website hosting package will then define what limitations the customer's account will have, once opened. The prices and the features of the website hosting plans are determined by the given web hosting supplier. Based on the policy of the corporation, the web hosting service can be divided into two groups - the free hosting solution and the classic shared solution, most recently very famous among "cPanel hosting" sellers as a cloud web hosting one. It's impossible to say, which one is more preferable, since they are quite different from one another and they really depend on the business tactics of the particular supplier and, of course, the demands of the particular client.

What is the distinction between the free of charge and the standard web hosting service?

Of course, the chief difference between the free and the paid solution is in the quantity of resources that they offer. Free hosting providers are not capable of keeping a huge amount of hosting servers, therefore, they plainly host more users on one single web server by reducing the quantity of resources offered by the accounts. This will be effective only in case the web servers are supervised and dealt with appropriately, because the large number of accounts may cause the server to crash over and over again. Most of the free web hosting companies, however, overlook the quality of the service and therefore, it's very hard to come across a free of charge web hosting solution that's in fact worth the effort. The top free hosting corporations commonly offer free technical support even to the free web hosting customers, since they want their websites to grow so that they subsequently upgrade to a paid website hosting package, which offers more web hosting resources. One such corporation, for example, is FreeHostia.com, which is among the biggest and oldest free website hosting corporations worldwide.

On the other hand, traditional web hosting providers such as us, are able to maintain plenty of hosting servers and as a result, we are able to provide much more powerful website hosting packages. Of course, that influences the pricing of the website hosting plans. Paying a higher fee for a web hosting account, however, does not necessarily denote that this account has a finer quality. The most optimal solutions are the balanced ones, which involve a price that matches the real service which you're obtaining. Besides, we also provide a free extra with the web hosting plan, like the 1-click applications installer, accompanied by 100's of free-of-charge website themes. As a web hosting supplier, we do worry about our reputation and this is the reason why if you choose us, you can be calm that you won't get deceived into paying for a service that you cannot in fact utilize.

What should I anticipate from a web hosting solution?

The web hosting solution is best for persons who are looking to host an average website, which is going to utilize a small or medium amount of traffic each month. You cannot anticipate, however, that a web hosting account will last you a lifetime, since as your business develops, your site will become more and more resource consuming. Hence, you will have to eventually move to a more feature-rich hosting service like a semi-dedicated hosting, a VPS hosting (a.k.a. a virtual web server, or VPS), or even a dedicated hosting. So, when selecting a web hosting company, you should also consider scalability, or else you might end up transferring your domain manually to a separate distributor, which can bring about web site complications and even continuous downtime for your web site. If you select UAE Hosting as your hosting provider, you can rest safe that we can present you with the needed domain name and hosting services as you grow, is essential and will save you a lot of inconveniences in the long run.
