Learning More About The Different Sorts Of Website Hosting

By Jeff Rock


There are many sorts of website hosting available for websites on the internet. Dependent on what type of business or site that you have will determine the type of website hosting that you'll need. Web hosting decisions come as follows:

Free Server

There are numerous different internet sites that offer free web pages or sites for individuals. They typically supply a page or 2 with a capability to post photographs. Some are free or close to free. They are also extremely well designed. You do not need to be a PC genius to use one of these servers.

Think about a site like MySpace. You can get a site there that is totally free. You are able to add pictures, blogs, messages, videos and even music. The condition is this is for social purposes only, or is meant to be. This is a fine example of a free web site.

Meanwhile, MySpace uses your website page to post their own adverts. You are restricted to space and what sort of content you can post. The website doesn't belong to your, but MySpace.

Now imagine you wish to sell products on the internet. You can use an inexpensive shared server that offers you a chance to set up your internet site for nothing. They may even provide templates. You will have to get a site name, such as myfavoritecurtains.com You may register the web site name and then be able to upload your website on the shared server.

In the case of a free shared server, you'll be sharing your internet site with other internet sites. You will be restricted to space as well as bandwidth. You can't have loads of people visit your website in an hour as it'll take up too much bandwidth. This is often perfect for small company that sells very little products on the web. Meanwhile, your site will often have a bunch of advertisements that are placed on there by the supplier to earn the revenue wanted to maintain your internet site.

Shared Server

A shared server is rather like a free server only you must pay a little bit every month to maintain your website. You have got a bit more liberty when it comes to adverts and can even generate money by enrolling for Google Adverts to be put on your internet site. You'll still have to come up with a website name. I suggest watching my hostgator review video to learn more about their service since I use them personally.

Dedicated Server

A dedicated server hosts only your site and no others. You have all the space you have to make your site the size of you want. You have enough bandwidth to accommodate all of the traffic it is possible to get. You have total control over the advertisements that you place on your internet site. You may even have 1 or 2 little affiliate internet sites to make up for the difference in cost.

A dedicated server is the ultimate in web hosting. You are actually hosting your own site. You have space, bandwidth and liberty to what you need. A dedicated server, while costing more money to use, may end up saving you cash, or adding to your revenue, if used correctly.
