Web hosting is a service that allows you to put your website
(domain name) on the internet. After you have thought of a name
for your website and registered the domain name, the next step
is to find a web
hosting service from a web hosting provider.
There are basically three types of web hosting services a web
host will offer. They are shared web hosting, dedicated server
hosting and virtual private server hosting.
A shared web hosting plan is when multiple customers share a
server. Each customer has their own unique domain name. This
type of web hosting service is generally less expensive and is
ideal for those of you who are new to web hosting and are just
launching your first website.
Dedicated server hosting and virtual private server hosting are
types of web hosing services that would be needed for a web
site, or multiple web sites, that generates millions of page
views or hits a day. These two web hosting services are
generally more expensive than shared web hosting.
If you choose a shared web hosting plan, and want to keep the
same web host the entire time you have the website, look for a
web host that offers a virtual private server or dedicated
server hosting plan as well. This way, you will be able to
upgrade as your site becomes popular and accumulates large
amounts of traffic.
