A definition of web space hosting

The most basic and widely used kind of web hosting is the shared web hosting service. It's a means to host your web portal without having to be much informed about programming and administrating a hosting server. Additionally, it's also the cheapest form of hosting and it's in fact affordable for everybody. Still, what is shared web space hosting?

What is shared web space hosting?

As the name denotes, the shared website hosting service is a type of service where a lot of users share the resources of the same web hosting server. This denotes that all web server elements such as CPU, hard disks, RAM, network interface cards and so on, are divided among the customers whose accounts are on that same hosting server. This is typically rendered feasible by opening different accounts for the different users and fixing some restrictions and resource usage quotas for each of them. Those limits are fixed in order to hinder the customers from meddling with each other's accounts and, of course, to prevent the web hosting server from overloading. Typically, shared web space hosting clients do not have root-level access to the web server's config files, which primarily denotes that they do not have access to anything else on the web hosting server aside from their own website hosting account. The site hosting resources that each account may use are fixed by the web hosting vendor that possesses the web hosting server and by the given web space hosting package. That brings about the second important question:

How are the shared web hosting servers divided among the clients?

Hosting distributors that distribute shared webspace hosting services commonly have diverse web site hosting plans. Those packages provide different amounts of web space hosting features and specifications, which actually define the limitations that a hosting account will include. The user may select between the separate web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he deems will suit him best. The site hosting plan will then define what limits the customer's account will include, once set up. The costs and the features of the site hosting plans are defined by the particular hosting corporation. Depending on the politics of the firm, the shared web page hosting solution can be divided into two categories - the free hosting solution and the popular shared solution, currently very popular among "cPanel hosting" wholesalers as a cloud web hosting one. It's impossible to allege, which one is more preferable, since they are quite different from each other and they really are dependent on the marketing strategy of the specific provider and, of course, the needs of the given user.

What is the difference between the free and the classic shared site hosting solution?

Of course, the major difference between the free and the paid solution is in the amount of resources that they include. Free hosting firms are not capable of keeping a large number of servers, therefore, they just host more customers on one web server by lowering the amount of resources provided by the accounts. This will be effective only in case the servers are kept under surveillance and handled appropriately, since the immense number of accounts may make the server crash time and time again. Most of the free hosting companies, however, neglect the quality of the service and therefore, it's quite difficult to come across a free webspace hosting service that's actually worth the effort. The top free hosting distributors typically provide free customer support even to the free webspace hosting clients, since they want their web sites to expand so that they subsequently upgrade to a paid website hosting plan, which offers more webspace hosting features. Such vendor, for instance, is FreeHostia.com, which is among the biggest and eldest free website hosting companies in the world.

At the same time, established shared web hosting firms such as Arbohosting Inc., for instance, are able to maintain many web hosting servers and as a result, they may afford to offer much more powerful web site hosting plans. Of course, that affects the cost of the web site hosting packages. Paying a higher fee for a web space hosting package, however, does not automatically signify that this package has a better quality. The most advantageous services are the balanced ones, which involve a fee that corresponds to the real service which you're getting. The top-notch web site hosting suppliers that have been around for quite a while are showing their price tags and plan specifications in an objective way, so that the customer may be aware of what indeed he is receiving. In addition, some of them offer a free bonus with the web space hosting package, like the 1-click applications installer, accompanied by 100's of free-of-cost web themes that are provided by 'Arbohosting Inc.'. Such web hosting providers do look after their good name and this is the reason why if you choose them, you can rest assured that you won't get swindled into purchasing a service that you cannot in fact make use of.

What should I anticipate from a shared web space hosting service?

The shared website hosting solution is best for people who are looking to host a normal web page, which is going to generate a small or medium amount of traffic every month. You cannot expect, though, that a shared website hosting account will last you a lifetime, since as your business gets bigger, your web site will become more and more demanding. Therefore, you will have to ultimately move to a more powerful web site hosting service like a semi-dedicated server, a VPS (also known as a virtual private hosting server, or VPS), or why not a dedicated server. Therefore, when choosing a web site hosting provider, you should also ponder about how they can be of service to you, otherwise you might end up transferring your domain name manually to a different provider, which can create site predicaments and even extended downtime for your web page. So, picking a hosting distributor like 'Arbohosting Inc.', which can provide you with the needed domain name and hosting services as you grow bigger, is essential and will spare you lots of frustrations in the future.
