The range of offers of accommodation has evolved in recent years. There are now several distinct offers, each with its strengths and weaknesses. Here are some explanations to find the offer that best suits your needs.
First, you need to look at what Web hosting environment is offered.
You share a server with several clients. The host controls the server (you only manage your site and your account). This offer is often very affordable because you share the running costs of the server with other clients. However, sharing the server has some limitations: if a site hosted on the same server that you have significant traffic, it monopolize most of the server resources and affect the quality of your accommodation. In addition, you can not install programs of your choice on these servers because they need to keep a stable environment for all customers.
There is also Dedicated Private Web Hosting.
Similar to the private accommodation, except that you rent a server and therefore it does not have anyone. Very limited assistance (via the URL) is included, but it could be a little more consistent with the best hosts.
This type of server costs 80-100 euros. The terms of the offer are often very general and it is necessary to clarify the details with the host. Before you hire, ask the server what responsibilities you have and what type of assistance they provide, including security. Private web hosting is good for game servers to large sites amateurs but not legitimate businesses that require monitoring.
The dedicated web hosting so-called “managed” or “turnkey”
This type of web hosting, just like the other ones, also includes maintenance and assistance form the host. This option provides more advantages to the user because it also includes the monitoring and updating of the server. Hardware warranties are also included as well as their installation of security patches.
Private web hosting is yet another option
You buy your own server (Dell or HP) and you supply this server to the host. This installs your host machine as a server, log on its fiber optic network and connected to a feeding system adapted. The center is responsible for the reliability of the network, and you are responsible for maintaining your server.
