Description of Shared Web Hosting

Possessing your very own personal web site is mandatory in today's society. The entrance of the World Wide Web in our daily lives suggests that, in order for somebody to be seen, or to make his opinion heard, one needs to develop a web portal and get it online. In order to fulfill that, you virtually require 2 things - a site and a hosting solution. Before building an online portal, though, it's vital to bear in mind that there are various types of hosting services and that not all websites can operate with a randomly selected shared web hosting. In order to illustrate this better, let's start with the major point:

What is Web Hosting?

Hosting, or also famous as 'web hosting', is a name that relates to the actual web hosting server, or the hosting provider that runs the server. A hosting server is a computer that's connected to the World Wide Web and that's configured to support PHP, MySQL, Perl, and so on, which permits the clients to upload their web site files on the web server and to make them visible on the web. There are two primary sorts of web hosting servers, depending on the Operating System of the web hosting server - Windows and Linux. The 2 OSs are very dissimilar and, in most instances, not at all consistent with one another. That is the reason why, before selecting the relevant service, one should first discover what kind of web hosting server is necessary for their web site.

If you haven't designed the website yet, then let us take a more comprehensive glimpse at the distinction between the two varieties and at what their strengths are.

What platform should you settle on - Windows or Linux?

As pointed out, there are software applications, which are only consistent with a given OS. For instance, JAVA scripts, .ASP pages, .NET Framework, Adobe ColdFusion are all based on Windows and will not function on a Linux web hosting server. Hence, if you consider to build your website utilizing any of the above, you should be searching for a Windows platform. Windows, though, is not an open-source platform, which suggests that it provides restricted opportunities when it comes to server security and privacy. Thus, Linux is utilized by server administrators worldwide and most hosting providers use it on their web hosting servers. Using Linux, the administrator can set up the server in a wholly modifiable way, and if the web server is properly configured, it can provide thorough safety against computer hackers and malware. Besides, the customizability of Linux allows for better optimization, which brings about better website functioning. Therefore, if you want ultimate protection and web server performance, then you should make your web site in such a manner that it operates with a Linux-based hosting server. This is not hard to accomplish, as the most famous Content Management Systems, also known as CMSs, like Joomla, WordPress, Drupal, Moodle, etc., are fully compatible with Linux web servers and are popular all around the Globe for being one of the best software platforms for constructing and managing web sites. Certainly, this doesn't imply that each and every hosting company that's using Linux will have administrators who are capable to appropriately administer a Linux web hosting server. Picking the appropriate host is quite hard nowadays, because most of them do not have the ability to engage a skilled, experienced web administrator. A Linux web hosting server that hasn't been correctly configured can be highly dangerous to your site and private information. Hence, when picking a hosting corporation, it's invariably recommendable to select an established company that's been in business for at least several years.

How to recognize the right web hosting service provider for my website?

These web hosting providers are easily identifiable by the manner in which they are offering their website hosting packages. Experienced web hosting service providers provide custom-developed functionality, diverse free open-source scripts or web applications. The most practiced, though, have even their very own personal custom-built hosting Control Panels devised especially for their platform. A web hosting Control Panel is a web-based interface, through which the customer administers the entire web hosting service. Smaller web hosting suppliers make use of pre-made CPs such as cPanel or DirectAdmin. In order, though, to guarantee maximum safety and effectiveness for their hosting services, the biggest hosting corporations offer to their customers their very own personal in-house developed website hosting Control Panels built by their own administrators. We, at 'Incorpmedia Hosting', don't only offer our own personal custom-built CP, but have also created a free-of-cost PHP-powered script package, which allows our customers to easily activate any of the abovementioned open-source content management software applications. Features like these reveal that we have the capacity, the means and the necessary experience to be entrusted with preserving your personal information confidential and your web site - live on the web.
