What is Web Hosting?

If you have created a site and you would like other individuals to discern it, you must copy your site to a public web server.

Where to host your website?

Even though you can use your own PC as a web server, it is a more conventional practice to let a hosting service provider take care of your site. The chief reason for that is the greater stability and the uninterrupted availability of your website, since hosting providers have high-end hardware and apportion a much higher bandwidth allowance, which ensures the quicker access to your site from all around the globe.

Web hosting services

Choose a web hosting service, which permits you to register domains and to set up email box accounts. A lot of web web hosting suppliers, like us at TriQul, offer a free-of-charge domain name registration as a gift if you open a web hosting account.

Hosting your web site on your own

Hosting your site on your own web server is undoubtedly an option, but only in case you have time and the needed knowledge. There are certain things that you need to take into consideration, among them the hardware and software costs. To launch a genuine, proper web site, you will have to spend money on some powerful server hardware, since you cannot rely on a low-priced personal computer to perform the job. You will also require an uninterrupted breakneck-speed connection without network outages, which generally comes at a rather high price. If you are availing of licensed software for your website, you will need to spend money on the license as well. You may also need to deal with bugs and spyware. You will need to maintain your server running all the time in an environment where "everything could take place". If you do not possess the needed technical competence, you will have to hire a sysadmin to deal with these issues for you, which will make the price of hosting your site yourself even steeper than that of a dedicated server delivered by a web hosting solutions provider.

A dedicated hosting web server provided by a hosting supplier

Leasing a web server from a hosting solutions provider is an excellent option if you wish to establish a high resource-requiring website or a corporate portal that has very strict safety requirements. The most important advantages of using a dedicated web hosting server are the breakneck-speed Internet access, the uninterruptible power supply and the very powerful hardware. Certain web hosting distributors, again like us at TriQul, supply VPS hosting and semi-dedicated web server hosting solutions, which are based on extremely powerful servers that can be shared by several users. You can also anticipate them to provide effective server load balancing services and the needed data backup servers.

Safety and dependability

Hosting vendors are specialized in offering web hosting solutions and because this is what they do to make a living, you can anticipate them to offer uninterrupted service uptime, the latest software updates and the best anti-virus software, as well as system administrators available 24/7 to support you in emergency cases.

Choose your web hosting supplier

What you have to take into account when selecting your web hosting solutions provider is the stability of the offered web hosting services. Make sure that the web hosting plans provider of your choosing provides a 24-hour technical support service. Do not place yourself in a position where you cannot resolve urgent predicaments right away because you must wait until the next business day. In addition, if you pick a shared website hosting package, which includes a 24x7 technical support service, this signifies that there always will be system administrators available to resolve any urgent problems as soon as they manifest themselves, which is a very good thing.

Day-to-day backups

Make certain that your hosting provider offers routine data backups with the offered hosting services, or else you may forfeit some important data in case of a hardware breakdown or because you have erased something unintentionally. The presence of everyday backups is typically pointed out in the web hosting vendor's Terms of Use.

Web traffic and hosting server disk drive storage space

When picking your hosting plans provider, give special attention to the bandwidth allowance limitations. Make sure that you won't have to pay a fortune for unforeseen high volumes of web traffic if your web site becomes more popular. There are lots of hosting service providers that offer unlimited bandwidth nowadays, so the best step to take is to ensure that you have made the right decision prior to subscribing.

Content limitations

Give special attention to the hosting distributor's content restrictions. If you wish to post pics or to broadcast live video or audio content, make certain that you can do that. In addition, most web hosting firms put restrictions when it comes to utilizing their services for file storage purposes, so if you upload too many files that are not related or directly linked to your website, your account could get closed. Therefore, examining the hosting distributor's Terms of Use, regardless of how time-devouring and tiresome this might be, is very important.

Electronic mail capabilities

The majority of web hosting suppliers today also provide email services with all their web hosting offers. It is not a bad idea to verify if the hosting company of your choice offers such functionalities as well, so as to confirm that you'll avail of all the features that you need in return for your cash.
