| Web Hosting Servers Explained |

of the hardest parts of finding a Web Host is determining what
sort of Server you should be looking for. There are many different
server plans available to you, but they all generally fall into 3
different categories: Virtual Servers A Virtual Server is basically one computer split into parts that hosts several Web sites, just as if each site had its own individual server computer. This server solution is probably the most cost-effective but keep in mind, if your website is hosted on a Virtual Server you are competing for that computers resources (bandwidth) with many other sites on the same computer. Dedicated Servers Many Web Hosts will offer to build a Dedicated Server computer, to your own specifications, and lease it to you for a monthly charge. The advantage with this solution is that you don't have other sites on the same machine competing for your resources, so your site will be faster and more reliable in the long run. Unfortunately, this solution can be very expensive and is generally not a viable alternative for small business or hobby sites. Server Hotels (Co-Location) A Server Hotel, or Co-located Server can be a
great solution if you have a Server machine of your own but no
Internet connection to plug it into. A Web Host will charge you
a small fee for storing the server machine on their site, and
for the use of their Internet connection. |
