Website Hosting OptionsWhen it comes to hosting your Website there are three main options (in order of popularity): Your type of website will have a great impact on your choice of website host/hosting package as the requirements for a personal website are considerably different from a business site.
1. Shared Website HostingThis is the least expensive option, and the most widely used for personal websites and small to medium size businesses. There are two types available:
Free HostingFree web hosting is not recommended for commercial websites and is discussed more fully in the free website hosting section. Paid HostingThis is typically the choice of a small to mid-sized business offering clients the ability to host their Website with their own domain name on a powerful, professionally managed server at a low monthly cost (typically $7-$18 per month). The most characteristic feature of shared /virtual Web hosting is that services are usually bundled into packages. The actual Web services offered by the providers, and their prices, differ greatly and you should understand what you want from your website and compare several providers before choosing. The object is not to choose the cheapest or the one with the most features but the one you need and is this is examined in more detail in choosing a host and website hosting package. You should also remember that if you want to host several websites it is possible to use a single account for multiple websites using Multiple Domain Hosting providing your hosting provider support it. 2. Dedicated Server Provided by a Hosting ProviderThis is the second most expensive option and is for organisations who have many Website visitors and/or have special requirements like customized scripts and applications. The server software and hardware is maintained by the provider but you have full access to the server including your own scripts directory. 3.Your Own ServerThis is the most expensive option as you need to buy and maintain your own hardware and software and also be permanently connected to the internet. This option is used by large organisations and organizations that have there own technical personnel.
