of website and customer.
- 1. Shared web Hosting
- 2. Website Builder
- 3. Cloud Hosting
- 4. Dedicated Hosting
Some of other kind of
hosting is discussed below; the source may be taken from other website.
SHARED WEB HOSTING:
Shared
web hosting is the most common type of web hosting, and is also the easiest to
start out on. Shared hosting is a service where one server is shared between
many customers. This typically offers the following advantages and
disadvantages:
·
It's cheaper – you don't need to pay for the
whole server upfront.
·
It's easier to use – the server is
preconfigured with the most popular options and your hosting company will take
care of any maintenance and security updates for you.
·
You share the server resources with your
neighbors – if one site becomes really busy it may affect (and slow down) all
other sites on that server.
·
It can be less flexible – like living in a
shared apartment block your neighbors need to be considered. Similar to
exclusions on keeping pets or throwing wild parties (but less fun), you
probably won't be able to block a specific port or modify a core component.
Because
shared web hosting is the most common type of web hosting, most hosting
companies simply refer to it as web hosting or website hosting. Mid phase shared
web hosting comes with the most preferred operating
system: Linux website hosting.
DEDICATED
HOSTING:
Dedicated
hosting (also called virtual hosting),
a newer form of hosting, allocates a specific web server for use by only
one client, for one site or multiple web sites. Dedicated hosting enables a
customer to host multiple sites from one server. The advantages for the
customer include more
flexibility, software configuration options, capability to handle greater site
traffic, and more scalable bandwidth than available with shared hosting
solutions. These factors are especially important
to high-traffic sites. In some cases clients are allowed root-level directory
access.
CO-LOCATION
HOSTING:
In co-location
hosting the client house its web server within a web host provider's secure
data center or facility. This form of hosting is popular with small- to
large-sized businesses that want control over their web servers within a 24/7
secure environment connected through a major backbone provider without having
the infrastructure costs, security issues, or maintenance costs for a data
center. Many web hosts that provide co-location services are moving toward
providing dedicated and applications hosting services.
RESELLER
HOSTING:
In reseller
hosting a web host provides storage at a discount to web consultants
(including web designers, developers, or integration firms), who then resell
the storage as a service or add-on to complement their other range of services,
which might include web site design or programming. Reseller accounts provide
the reseller with a virtual hosting package, with the incremental spacing
provided for the purpose of reselling to clients at a markup. This type of plan
is especially beneficial to consultants who do not have to be concerned with
physically maintaining the hardware or the network (unless a web site goes
down). The reselling costs are quite marginal; usually assigned to price breaks
tied to the number of hosting accounts brought in by the reseller. Reseller
plans can be organized in a wide range of different business models. Most
common is for resellers to receive a 50 percent discount on the price of a
hosting account, that the reseller then sells to the client.
TEMPLATE
HOSTING:
Template
hosting is a newer form of hosting that involves
a client creating its web site through a web browser using standard templates
available from the template hosting web site. Typically, this service is lower
in cost than all other hosting plans, although the structured options available
to the client limit the design and functional options available. Some plans
include free hosting in return for agreeing to the dynamic placement of
third-party ads, template hosting logo, or co-branding of content on a web
site. The client typically is limited to using an extension of the web host's
address instead of its own unique domain name address, which usually is not
what businesses want when pursuing a professional image and long-term web
presence.
SPECIALIZED
PLATFORM HOSTING:
Often a
client will require a specific platform for dynamic pages to be generated, or
to support a specific technology. Some of the most sought-after web hosts
provide support for Java Server Pages (JSP) and servlets, which can operate on
most standard web server operating system platforms (UNIX, NT/2000, Solaris,
AIX, and so on). Java Server Pages can consist of multiple servers, which
greatly extends the capabilities of a web server. Many web hosts now are
becoming knowledgeable about the speed and reliability advantages provided by
JSP. Server appliances such as Intel's family of Net Structure appliance units
and Cobalt are being used to power niche functions, similar to slimmed-down
servers. These and other technologies are further discussed in Chapter 9. These
technologies include, but are by no means limited to thefollowing:
·
ASP (Active Server Pages)
·
JSP (Java Server Pages) and Java
servlets
·
SSI (Server Side Includes)
·
ColdFusion
·
PHP
APPLICATION
HOSTING:
Application
hosting (also called Application Service
Providers or ASP) involves the managed hosting of software services and is
popular with small- to medium-sized businesses that want controlled hosting of
enterprise software applications (such as word processing, e-mail, groupware,
accounting, ERP, and more) securely through the Internet or a VPN. In this way,
for a set monthly rental fee, a company can run applications through a web
browser and will always be current with the latest software updates. Companies
can provide enterprise applications for all of their employees without being
concerned with providing in-house installation, technical support, ongoing
training, or site licensing software issues. ASPs usually charge a monthly
rental fee that can range widely, and can be based on individual employee usage
($1 per use) or a per-month ($25 to $5,000) model. A lot will depend on the
level of complexity for the application that is hosted. There also usually is a
setup fee.
MANAGED-SERVICES
HOSTING:
Managed-services
hosting is the management of services that
ensure that a web site (or host) is performing effectively. This is a
relatively new form of hosting; services can include firewall security,
real-time server monitoring, e-commerce services, and content delivery
management, typically in partnership with infrastructure providers. San
Francisco-based host Xuma (www.xuma.com) offers e-commerce services that
integrate auction bots, tax management, and processing of credit card
transactions. One client, CornerHardware.com, was brought online through Xuma's
services two months ahead of schedule.
HIGH-SCALABILITY
HOSTING:
In the
upper tier of hosting plans, a client will require a highly scalable
environment to respond to rapidly changing site traffic needs. According to
analyst Jeanne Schaaf at Forrester Research, revenues in this area are expected
to rise by more than 1,000 percent, to $10.9 billion for fully-managed,
outsourced servers and $6.8 billion for high-end custom web hosting services.
