Becoming More Knowledgeable About The Different Types Of Website Hosting

By Jeff Rock


There are many types of website hosting available for sites on the web. Depending on what sort of business or website that you have will decide the kind of web hosting that you'll need. Website hosting choices come as follows:

Free Server

There are numerous different websites that offer free internet pages or sites for individuals. They sometimes supply a page or 2 with a ability to post photos. Some are free or close to free. They are also awfully well implemented. You do not have to be a computer genius to use one of these servers.

Think about a domain like MySpace. You can get a website there that is totally free. You can add photographs, blogs, messages, videos and even music. The stipulation is this is for social purposes only, or is supposed to be. This is a fine example of a free web site.

In the meantime, MySpace uses your website page to post their own advertisements. You are limited to space and what sort of content you can post. The internet site does not belong to your, but MySpace.

Now imagine you would like to sell products on the internet. You can use a cheap shared server that offers you an opportunity to set up your website for free. They may even provide templates. You will have to get a site name, for example myfavoritecurtains.com You'll register the web site name and then be in a position to upload your internet site 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 cannot have loads of people visit your website in 60 minutes as it'll take up too much bandwidth. This is often excellent for small business that sells very little products on the Net. Meanwhile, your website will generally have a bunch of advertisements that are placed on there by the provider to earn the money wanted to maintain your internet site.

Shared Server

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

Dedicated Server

A dedicated server hosts only your site and no others. You have all of the space you have to make your site the size of you would like. You have enough bandwidth to accommodate all the traffic it is easy to get. You have total control over the ads that you place on your site. You may also have several little affiliate websites to make up for the difference in cost.

A dedicated server is the final word in web hosting. You are actually hosting your own website. You have space, bandwidth and freedom to what you need. A dedicated server, while costing extra money to use, may actually end up saving you money, or adding to your income, if used in the right way.
