Shared Website Hosting Explanation

The most elemental and regularly utilized kind of web hosting is the hosting service. It's a way to host your site without having to know much about programming and administrating a web server. In addition, it's also the most economical form of website hosting and it's quite affordable for everybody. However, what is hosting?

As the name suggests, the hosting service is a sort of service where lots of clients share the system resources of the same web hosting server. This suggests that all server ingredients like CPU, hard disks, RAM, network cards etc. are split among the clients whose accounts are on that very same server. This is mainly rendered accomplishable by opening different accounts for the separate customers and applying specific restrictions and resource usage quotas for each of them. Those limitations are set so as to restrain the customers from meddling with each other's accounts and, of course, to hinder the web server from overloading. Usually, hosting customers do not have complete root-level access to the server's config files, which principally signifies that they cannot access anything else on the web server aside from their own hosting account. The website hosting resources that each account may utilize are set by the web hosting vendor that possesses the web hosting server and by the given website hosting package. That brings about the second vital question:

How are the shared hosting servers shared among the users?

Web hosting vendors that offer hosting services usually have diverse web hosting plans. Those plans involve diverse quotas of web hosting features and specs, which in fact define the restrictions that a website hosting account will have. The customer may pick between the individual web hosting plans and sign up for the one that he thinks will befit him best. The website hosting package will then determine what limits the client's account will include, once set up. The prices and the specs of the website hosting plans are specified by the actual web hosting corporation. Based on the policy of the distributor, the hosting solution falls into 2 groups - the free hosting solution and the regular shared service, most recently very popular among "cPanel hosting" merchandisers as a cloud web hosting one. It's not possible to judge, which one is better, since they are quite different from one another and they actually are subject to the business strategy of the particular vendor and, of course, the needs of the given customer.

What is the distinction between the free and the typical hosting service?

Of course, the principal difference between the free and the paid service is in the amount of resources that they involve. Free website hosting vendors are not able to maintain a great number of servers, hence, they simply accommodate more customers on a single web hosting server by decreasing the amount of resources offered by the accounts. This will be effective only if the hosting servers are monitored and handled properly, because the great number of accounts may make the hosting server crash on a regular basis. Most of the free website hosting firms, however, neglect the quality of the service and as a result, it's very difficult to discover a free of cost hosting service that's in fact worth the effort. The top free hosting providers typically offer free customer support even to the free web hosting clients, because they want their sites to enlarge so that they eventually upgrade to a paid web hosting package, which includes more website hosting features. Such provider, for example, is FreeHostia.com, which is among the biggest and eldest free website hosting vendors in the world.

On the other hand, established hosting providers such as us, may afford to keep lots of web hosting servers and so, we are able to provide much more powerful website hosting packages. Of course, that affects the pricing of the web hosting packages. Paying a higher fee for a web hosting service, however, does not automatically imply that this account has a finer quality. The most advantageous services are the balanced ones, which involve a fee that corresponds to the concrete service which you're receiving. In addition, we also provide a free bonus with the web hosting package, like the 1-click applications installer, accompanied by 100's of free-of-cost website themes. As a website hosting companie, we do care about our reputation and that's why if you pick us, you can be certain that you won't get swindled into purchasing an account that you cannot in fact make use of.

What should I expect from a hosting solution?

The hosting solution is best for persons who desire to host a basic web page, which is going to swallow a small or medium amount of web traffic every month. You cannot expect, though, that a hosting account will last you a lifetime, since as your business develops, your website will become more and more demanding. So, you will have to ultimately migrate to a more powerful web hosting solution such as a semi-dedicated packages, a VPS (also known as a virtual web hosting server, or VPS), or even a dedicated package. So, when picking a website hosting distributor, you should also think about scalability, otherwise you might end up relocating your domain manually to a separate vendor, which can bring about site problems and even prolonged downtime for your site. If you choose Hosting Pine as your website hosting vendor, you can rest safe that we can present you with the required domain name and hosting services as you get bigger, is crucial and will save you lots of predicaments in the future.
