WEB HOSTING FAQ



HOW DO I FIND THE MOST SUITABLE HOSTING PLAN?

Before you begin your comparison journey, you have to decide what type of web
hosting will fit your needs as a webmaster. Your basic choices are shared, VPS,
and dedicated hosting.

If you are just starting out online and you don’t have a lot of websites, then
you may want to begin comparing cheap shared hosting plans. If you want more
freedom over your hosting account, then you may want to choose a more powerful
VPS hosting plan instead. Finally, if you’re extremely serious about being
successful online and you want the best of the best, then you should be
comparing dedicated hosting plans.


HOW MUCH DOES WEB HOSTING COST?

The web hosting industry is extremely competitive, with almost 25 thousand web
hosting providers competing for your business at any given point in time. To
grab your attention, many of them will offer extremely low prices, while some
will simply add more features and benefits to the plans. While price comparisons
are generally simple to conduct in other industries, in web hosting, it can be
quite confusing, considering all of the plan features that must be compared as
well. Many people also fail to realize the differences in payment structure, as
well as other pricing factors, such as fees and startup costs.

Web hosting pricing has become very confusing over the last several years, with
many web hosting companies changing the way they advertise their plan pricing.
It can be discouraging after purchasing a web hosting plan, only to find out
that the monthly cost is much higher than was expected.

Many web hosting companies are using deceptive marketing tactics to attract new
customers without actually lowering the price. It is important to know the
various aspects of web hosting pricing before comparing plans. When comparing
plans it is best to consider the cost of all the features and the number of
features offered.


ARE THERE ANY HIDDEN FEES?

In the web hosting industry, pricing is not always what it seems, especially for
the novice webmaster. Make sure you investigate the true cost of prospective
hosting plans before making any commitments.

Unexpected or hidden fees is another pricing factor to consider when purchasing
a hosting plan. The first fee to look for is the setup fee. Many hosting plans
charge around $50 for a setup fee when you first purchase the plan. In some
cases, the hosting company may offer a rebate on this setup fee; however, you
should know that you will receive the money at a later date, and you will still
need to pay the fee when purchasing the plan.


WHY ARE WEB SERVERS IMPORTANT?

Web servers are critical elements of the internet, as every website needs one in
order to function. Essentially, web servers are computers that are responsible
for transmitting data from a website to the site visitor’s computer. Without a
web server, your web site could not exist, because there would not be anywhere
to store the data and send it to a visitor’s computer.

There is a variety of web servers available on the market, with each one
designed to accommodate a different range of client needs. If you want your site
to perform optimally, then you will need a capable web server. Make sure you
become familiar with web servers and their uses before you proceed with your
online endeavors.


WHAT ARE WEB HOSTING DATA CENTERS?

Most major web hosting providers have their own private data centers, in which
all of their web servers are stored. Datacenters are specially designed to
accommodate the environmental needs of a web server. The temperature, humidity,
dust content, lighting, cleanliness, and security of the data center is
meticulously upheld by on-site staff that is responsible for keeping all of the
web servers in perfect condition.


WHAT IS A VPS?

VPS web hosting is one of the most popular kinds of hosting available, most
likely because it offers a perfect balance between affordability and
professional functionality. VPS is an abbreviation for Virtual Private Server,
which describes the web server configuration.

Web servers are powerful computers that serve information to web pages so that
they can be accessed by visitors around the world. When a visitor views one of
your web pages they are actually downloading content directly from your web
server. A virtual private server is simply a section of a web server that is
devoted solely to your website.

Many people confuse shared hosting with VPS hosting because both types involve
splitting a server into partitions for use amongst multiple hosting plans.
However, unlike shared web hosting, VPS hosting does not place any restrictions
or limitations on the kinds of software that can be used on the web server
partition.


WHO SHOULD USE VPS HOSTING?

VPS hosting is perfect for small to medium sized businesses that need the
functionality of a dedicated server without the additional cost or server
maintenance responsibilities. If you have been using a shared hosting plan and
you’re noticing decreased site performance and site downtime, then you may need
to upgrade to a VPS hosting plan.

VPS hosting is perfect for people that need complete control over their server’s
software configuration and control panel. With a shared hosting plan, you are
forced to use the software configuration mandated by the hosting company. In
contrast, VPS is comparable to having a private web server, except without the
exuberant setup and maintenance costs.

VPS hosting is perfect for websites that are expanding and are in need of
something more powerful than a shared hosting plan. Most webmasters begin by
using a shared web hosting plan due to its affordability and simplicity.
However, after a few months, sites begin to receive daily traffic, and
eventually the server burden is too much for a single shared hosting account.
VPS hosting is the most flexible hosting type in the world, with a massive
variety of plans currently on offer.


WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF VPS HOSTING?

The main benefit of VPS hosting is the expandability of the hosting plans.
Instead of being confined to a particular set of server resources, you can
expand your plan at any time in most cases. If you are not sure how many server
resources you need to keep your sites operating optimally, then you may want to
consider a powerful VPS plan or a cloud VPS hosting plan.

VPS web hosting is surprisingly affordable in most cases, with prices starting
just above the cost of shared web hosting. This affordability and expandability
make VPS web hosting perfect for novice webmasters and professionals alike.
Upgrading a VPS hosting plan is extremely simple, especially if you choose to
stay with the same hosting provider.


WHAT IS DEDICATED HOSTING?

As the name implies, a dedicated server is a private web server that is
dedicated to a single person or company. Unlike shared or VPS hosting plans, the
web server that is servicing your websites is not being used by anyone else.

Dedicated web servers are the envy of the web hosting industry, being the most
powerful solution available for small to medium size online business owners.
Many webmasters decide to purchase the cheapest web hosting plan available
rather than shop around for the most suitable solution for their web site.
Unfortunately, doing this will almost always result in an unnecessary upgrade
later on, often at a time that is very inopportune for both the site owner and
the site visitors.

Dedicated web hosting is the most powerful hosting type currently available to
the public, other than cloud hosting which is generally a corporate solution.
Dedicated hosting accounts are capable of hosting hundreds of websites
simultaneously without the need for additional features or services. If you are
planning on building an online empire then you will definitely need a dedicated
server.

With a dedicated server, you never have to worry about slow-loading pages, site
downtime, or unnecessary limitations caused by a shared hosting environment.


WHO NEEDS DEDICATED HOSTING?

If you own a large business or dozens of successful websites, then you may want
to consider upgrading to a dedicated hosting plan eventually. This is especially
true if you are experiencing site downtime or other performance issues with your
current hosting plans.

If you are just getting involved in web hosting, using a dedicated hosting plan
as your first web hosting experience is not recommended. Instead, you may want
to start with a shared or VPS hosting plan, both of which are suitable solutions
for small to medium-sized businesses.
