What is Shared Hosting?

Shared hosting is a sort of Internet service that allows individuals and organizations to make their web sites reachable on the Internet. Web hosting providers are firms that offer space on a hosting server placed in a datacenter facility and ensure uninterrupted network connectivity.

Where do you start?

The World Wide Web is an indispensable fragment of everybody's everyday agenda. It offers you the chance to earn extra money, but can also be a major source of income. In order to incorporate advertisements on your web site or to promote a commodity that you sell, you invariably require a hosting solution, which will make certain that your online portal is secure and continually up and running. But how do you find one that is moderately priced and yet stable enough?

The shared web hosting platform

The solution hosting vendors have introduced is named shared web hosting. With the shared hosting solution, multiple customers are accommodated on one and the same hosting server. There are strict limitations on the resources that each user account can in fact resort to, thus ensuring that they do not intervene with each other. The shared solution offers satisfactory performance and costs less than, let's say, a dedicated web server, which is utilized by only one individual. The shared solution enables shared hosting distributors to offer their customers attractive prices. It usually comes with easy-to-use web hosting Control Panel software, as is the case with the server that we at Tiger Hosts provide, and allows everyone to administer their web portals without bothering about server configuration and maintenance tasks, which are taken care of solely by the hosting services provider.

Virtual private servers hosting

With the virtual private servers hosting solution, on the other hand, you share a physical machine with other private virtual web hosting server clients, but you are allotted a dedicated share of the system resources. The virtual private web server solution is the middle ground between the much less expensive shared web hosting solution and the more expensive dedicated hosting solution, and is a very good option for anyone who wants to have, for example, an audio or video streaming site or a social networking web site. The circumstance that you have to cope with the web server configuration settings and software updates yourself is somewhat of a downside, but this could also be a huge asset if you really need to make certain server configuration modifications - something that would be inconceivable on a shared hosting web server.

Dedicated Servers

Dedicated servers are in the majority of circumstances much more high-priced than shared hosting or VPS web server hosting solutions. You might ask why would anyone want to use a dedicated web hosting server then? The explanation is very simple. If your corporation has a high resource-devouring website, or simply has very special web server configuration and security requirements, the most logical choice is a dedicated hosting server that you or your server admins can administer directly. For someone who is willing to invest in safety and dependability, the bigger price is not an issue. You have full server root access and can utilize 100% of the dedicated web server's resources without anyone else availing of these resources and meddling with your web sites.
