Whether you’re just starting to create an online presence for your business or you’ve been a major player on the internet for years, the specifics of web hosting may still be something of a mystery to you. Essentially, hosting describes the service that gives your website and domain name a place to “live” on the internet.
End the confusion surrounding some of the various hosting set-ups with our brief tutorial, where we define three of the most common web hosting arrangements and discuss the benefits of each. Bear in mind that domain hosting via a Hong Kong server provides many advantages to global businesses.
This arrangement is a popular option for many small business owners, especially those just starting out, and for companies with little traffic. With shared hosting, a pool of websites owners use the same resources together – such as memory, CPU processing time and disk space. The biggest benefit of shared web hosting is it’s low-cost. It’s the least expensive hosting option. This makes it a cost-effective solution for companies working to establish their business online, but who have not yet built up traffic and a thriving online customer-base.
Large businesses with heavy traffic and web activity typically prefer this type of hosting set-up because all the web hosting resources are dedicated solely to their individual site. With this arrangement, you don’t have to worry about other websites slowing yours down due to user demand. It also offers more versatility. While a dedicated server is more expensive than the other options, the value of delivering a positive, uninterrupted user experience is huge. Consumers expect this level of service from a successful online retailer. Failure to deliver can easily lead to expensive sales losses.
Virtual private servers (VPS) merge some of the features of both shared and dedicated hosting setups. You don’t “own” all the resources, but you don’t have to share them all either. Instead, you are allotted some portions – such as memory and CPU time – on a dedicated basis. The rest are used on a shared basis with the other users. VPS hosting usually involves fewer users than those on a shared platform. This is another cost-effective solution for many businesses. It’s especially useful when you know exactly how much space you need and how much activity your website generates. In many situations, you can upgrade to access higher VPS tiers. VPS hosting is a happy medium for many companies with hosting demands that exceed shared hosting resources and budgets that need careful monitoring.
