-
Free web hosting service
- Shared web hosting service
- Dedicated web hosting service
- Co location web hosting service
- Reseller web hosting service
Free Web Hosting Service
It is free, advertisement-supported web
hosting, and is extremely limited when compared to paid
hosting. Since this type of hosting is free they put up
banners, pop up ads on your site. We do not recommend free
hosting for businesses.
Shared Web
Hosting Service
This is very common
and very cost effective hosting service. Your Web site is
placed on the same server as several other sites. Depending
on the web host a server can host hundreds to thousands of websites
at the same time. Since the server is shared (disk space, CPU,
bandwith, memory) by many websites the provider can
afford to offer lower hosting price.
Dedicated Web Hosting Service
In contrast
to shared hosting, dedicated web hosting service assigns one
web server to be used by one customer. Since dedicated hosting
is offered to single customer, that customer has the option to host multiple
websites. It is suited for large websites with high traffic and websites
that use special software. It is expensive.
Co-location Web Hosting Service
It is a service
that lets you place your own web server in the physical location
of a service provider. In this way the customer has full
control over their web server and also benefit from the 24/7
server monitoring and maintenance provided by the secure data
center.
Reseller Web Hosting Service
It is a service where a web hosting provider offers
web server storage to a third-party (reseller) at a discount
price. Now the reseller sells web storage to their customers.
Typically resellers are web consultants including web designers,
web developers, system integration company who resell the web
hosting as an additional service to compliment their other range
of professional services.
