A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server owned or leased for use by clients, as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for other servers located in their data center, called colocation, also known as Housing in Latin America or France.
Whatever size of website you have, this article will help you find the best web hosting services for you as well as the best hosting deals to go for. The first step is to identify what your needs are - with one eye on future growth of your website - then choose an appropriate plan at the right price. Value for money is not just going for the cheapest. Web hosting companies usually offer three main paid-for tiers of hosting packages. Shared hosting means you share a server with other sites and web hosting accounts. The site can often be slower and these plans are for sites that don't use a lot of bandwidth. With a dedicated server, you have the entire web server for your own use. Faster performance is pretty much guaranteed. Virtual Private Servers (VPS) or Cloud Servers enable you to scale resource as and when you need it rather than being restricted by the limitations of a physical server. They draw from a pool of processing power, memory and storage depending on your requirement. Finally co-located hosting enables you to purchase your own server and, while it will be kept in the vendor's data centre, you'll have complete control over it so you can install anything you need onto it. Some providers arrange their web hosting deals according to business segments (small businesses, e-commerce, artists, resellers), features (WordPress compatibility, email hosting, cloud computing, managed service providers) or platforms (Linux or Windows).
