There are many options to choose a web hosting but to choose a required one is more necessary than others. There are different options of it from free to a heavy amount of charge.

Web Hosting

Now days, coding is so much easy and popular in between young generation. So that anyone from freely available online tutorials can create a site but it will not be able to visible publicly. If you want to make it visible world wide, you have to know about web hosting.

Web hosting is about how a site will be shown to public or visitors, its design, interface and dealing with public. Precisely, we can say that it is something which stores all inputs from a owner or manager of site and shows the same the is said by them. It is a server which makes a connection between visiters and site owner work.

Providers that provides you a hosting or such server are known as hosting provider. They have different categories and sections for different type of users from their end to provide a service. They have a huge storage to store and retrieve data from user to visitors and vice versa.

Working of Web Hosting

We can easily create our site from watching YouTube tutorials of it but how it will be shown to public? For this you need to store all data or pages on a web hosting. When someone logon to your site by inserting your domain name on any browser then web hosting will show your site as according to you is set on web hosting.

Another term that you should know in this is DNS or Domain Name System because it is the thing which connects your site with your site name. When some user on internet type your site url the it is DNS which connects your site with your hosting server.

What are the Hosting types?

There are many different type of a hosting but it has major division of four types. These four major types of hosting is structured from server to user need. In this article, I have described some important things about each of it's type.

#1 Shared Hosting

This is a hosting server which is divided into several other parts by compartmentalisation. All such sections have some registration on server to use its features and share resources. Their resources can be shared with all other members in the server.

This decreases amount of charge from each user because a server is shared among many ones. But this consequences reduce the performance because of compartmentalisation. Websites build on sharing host can use a limited amount of storage not more than it.

Shared hosting is a profitable option for small businesses, blogs, sites of small resources etc.

Advantages

Easy to use with cheap amount of charge
Great for new or beginners

Limitations

Shared resources, hence less secure
Performance is reduced in comparison to before
Since less amount of storage can be used, not good for high traffic
Sharing is always not good

#2 VPS Hosting

It is very awesome hosting because it is something in between a shared and a dedicated hosting. It can be said that VPS or virtual private server is a hosting which is a combination of two other hosting.

You can have your own dedicated server with cheap price like of shared hosting. Here you can use your own system for storing and for creating a server for user. It is different from shared hosting because here you have your personal one i.e, your computer system.

In unmanaged case of hosting, there are some privileges given to the server of root access. While in managed ones, the provider is there to take care of all technical issues and gives managed hosting.

Advantages:
They are dedicated instead of shared Control and access of root
Since it is not shared, better privacy
Limitations: Requires better technical skills
More dependency on your own server

#3 Dedicated Hosting

Dedicated hosting is the most expensive hosting because it is dedicated. Dedication here refers to not to share any resource with other users. Here you are the only owner of the entire system and you don't need to worry about privacy and security concerns.

This will increase performance of your site because of dedicated server. And they ensures security system to be very strong.

Advantages:b Better speed and flexibility than before
Maximum performance because of fully dedicated server
Huge traffic with most secure system can be ensured
Limitations:
It's speed is much but it is costly too
It is note for startups because of high cost and scalability

#4 Cloud Hosting

Cloud hosting is the latest one in this hosting field. It is because of interconnection of devices on internet even when they are not close. Internet is that thing which can connect many devices even when they are so far placed from each other.

Physical devices servers are connected together by using Software that uses internet to do so. This entire network treats as like a system resource or single resource and it can be expanded whenever needed.

In this server if there is some failure, another one is always ready to replace even after a small failure of function. This makes the users to stay on system and not to leave.

Multiple resources can too add if needed as they are scalable too i.e, more and less device variable can be used.

Advantages:
Scalability in cloud hosting is good
More traffic can be managed
Cheaper in price
Limitations:
Time consuming and limited customer control
