WebHosting
After creating and designing one’s own website he/she wants to host his/her own website other wise all the hard work will go in vain. Deciding the host for the website is far more difficult job then creating and designing it. While choosing host one should be very careful and should gain proper knowledge. One should consider all the factors while opting one host, as if this one decision went wrong then all the previous work will ruin.
Following are the few factors to be consider while choosing hosting plan-
1. Uptime of the web server?
2. Does the SSL is provided by the server or not?
3. Does the server avail server side scripting (e.g. PHP, ASP)?
4. What type of host to choose Free or paid?
5. What is the upload limit and file limit?
6. Support provided to the Customer.
Now we are going to take the above factors one by one:-
1– Uptime of the web server.
While hosting one’s website he/she wants that his/her server should always be up, as if website faces downtime it will result in the loss of traffic as well as of goodwill. The customer will never visit a website which remains down most of the hours so it is very important to choose host which provides maximum uptime.
Search engines will never give position to the website that always faces the downtime.
These kinds of websites should not expect the traffic from the search engines.
One can get a web server that is usually up, by the help of the reviews of the different persons who have already used the web host.
2. Does the SSL provided by the server or not?
If one created his/her own website just for the personnel use, not for doing any transactions on his/her website then SSL protection is not required.
If one who is not doing any transactions right now, but planning to do it in the future then he /she should opt for a web host that will provide SSL protection as and when required.
SSL is an encryption method which helps to encrypt any sensitive information like credit card info, names, etc
If a customer is going for a web host who is not offering SSL protection, in that case, installation of SSL will be very expensive as if afterwards he/she is trying to get it installed then the provider can charge what ever he/she wants for the SSL protection for transactions.
3. The third factor to look at it is does the server avail for server side scripting?
There are many web host providers who provides for server side scripting but still it’s important for customers to make sure that they do or don’t.
Server side scripting permits the webmaster to create pages which changes in real time.
For example, if one is running a business, and has all of his/her products stored in a database, and then a server side script will be helpful as it generates the pages that the customer sees according to the category/product he/she chooses.
If any of the web host provider is not providing the service of server side scripting, then it means that it will be a very silly decision to choose that web hosting.
4. What type of host to choose free or paid?
Now here comes the most important factor i.e. money factor which molds the customer’s decision. It’s hard for customers to decide that what to choose –free or paid host.
In case of free host, it has one and only one advantage that it is free, rest it has only and only complications in it.
The one who is not going to do any transitions by his/her site or created his/her website only as a hobby, then any of the free host will be ok for him. On the other hand for a professional customer, it will be good for him/her to not to look at for free hosting rather choosing for a paid host. Choosing free hosting will be of no use as it will never facilitate it’s customer due to lack of facilities in it.
Free web hosting has many disadvantages such as the hosters usually run ads on one’s home page.
The paid web host usually offers better customer support that is absent in free web hosting.
5. What is the upload/bandwidth limit and file limit?
If any customer is going for hosting large image files or if he/she wants to provide downloads to his/her users then upload/ bandwidth and file limit is very important.
But if anyone is making a hobby or business website then space is not a big deal for him/her and he/she can opt the host providing less space.
6. Customer Support
Now let’s talk about the Customer support which is very important. If any customer is suffering from any problem and he/she is not getting any support from his/her host then he/she will get irritate and leave the host. If any of the hosting company don’t want to loose his customers then it is important for the company to provide proper customer support and of course when ever needed.
Some web host providers even provide forums where customers like they can log in and post questions to other customers and web host staff.

WebHosting
Foremost one must determine the meaning of the word “hosting”.
So, how can one define hosting?
It generates from the word “host” which has different meanings that are familiar to everyone. Hosting denotes providing place for a person’s website on the web hosting company’s servers and making it viewable on the Internet and suspending it.
Why can a user once need hosting?
For an instance suppose one has created a website and now is in a dilemma how his/her friends and acquaintances can notice it. Now he has placed it on his/her personal computer, but then he/she came to know that it’s risky for the computer’s safety and requires permanent Internet connection. This results in plenty of inconveniences for the user. To avoid such sort of things, there is requirement of web site hosting.
There are several kinds of web site hosting. They can be systematically analyzed by looking below:
Joint or virtual hosting
Devoted hosting/ server, Co-location
VDS/VPS –Virtual Dedicated Server/Virtual Private Server
One should before choosing any type of web hosting must consider the following things:-
Free Shared hosting
If one wants to host some non-profit making or his/her personal web site it’d be more gainful to use basic shared hosting for zero amount of fee. This kind of web site hosting is rather logical alternative not only if the user is a beginner in web site building rather if he/she wants to try some innovative ideas and don’t wish to pay for it. However of course the user doesn’t have to assume it to grant his/her site the best conditions, for e.g. proper bandwidth, disk space etc.
Various other features are also there which needs consideration like MySQL, PHP support etc. It moreover gives poor web statistics.
Paid shared hosting
It is quite true that almost all sort of small businesses, intermediate and large professional sites employ shared hosting, because they do not require the whole server’s space and further the whole server costs which are quite high. With shared/virtual hosting such vital features, as multiply e-mail, MySQL, PHP, are supported. The main drawback is decline of one’s site’s security.
Dedicated hosting /Server
It is considered to be an ideal hosting for those, who require much storage and bandwidth and are good in server administration. With this one is in a condition of using all necessary software, but if a user doesn’t possess adequate knowledge to administrate his/her server it will be a little bit difficult for him/her.
Co-location
It can be termed as a sub type of dedicated hosting and can be compared with user’s own house which was put into existence particularly for him/her, along with his/her preferred furniture and all. It’s built on the user’s hosters (ISP) ground. This service is implied to fulfill only a particular user’s tasks and is designed for fulfilling his/her needs alone. Likewise, its cost is equally high.
VDS/ VPS
Virtual private server is a sort of web site hosting that is rooted on dividing a physical server into several virtual ones. It possesses comparatively less price though gives same promise as dedicated server. Now at this point of time after looking at all the pros and cons one can easily decide as to which host services to choose as per his/her needs.
