Web Hosting Explained
Filed Under: Electronics and Gadgets, Entertainment
A web hosting service is one where websites are hosted on a third party’s servers. These websites will then be accessible on the internet. The company who hosts the site is known as a web host.
There are many different options when it comes to web-hosting, and the options that you require will determine the price - some places will host for free; others will cost a lot of money. Factors that are involved in the costs are:
- the amount of disk space you need
- the amount of bandwidth you need
- the amount of domains you want to host on the server
- the speed of the server
- the hardware spec of the server
- the operating system of the server
- whether you need specialised services such as ftp, SQL, php etc
- whether you want email associated with your domain hosted, and how many email address you want hosted
- how many servers you are renting (you often get discounts if you rent more than one at a time, or if you agree to a three or more year package with fees paid up front).
