Beginner Guide to Web Hosting
Shared Web Hosting is terminology that is difficult for web newbies, especially when they are venturing into developing a web site. They have terms thrown around like web site names, web domain hosting, web site design and graphic design. Web site hosting when you understand it is pretty easy to understand. To summarize, shared web hosting is a storage container to hold your HTML files and images.
Those venturing into an affordable web site hosting solution will be required to learn the different features included with shared hosting, such as hosting disk space, bandwidth, number of email accounts and types of programming languages you can use.
Disk Space
Disk Space is exactly as the title states, and is similar to the hard drive space you have on your own computer. This feature lets you know the size in MB available to the site owner to host your PHP files and images you have for your website. Multimedia, such as images and videos will use more of your hosting space, while your web source files will use less of the space. The amount of disk space you should look into purchasing depends mainly on the type of files you will be hosting, and the overall file size of your web site.
Bandwidth
Bandwidth for a hosting account is much like the bandwidth you use when connecting to the internet. Each time a file is downloaded from your web site, it adds to your total for bandwidth used for your web site. Bandwidth will generally range in plans, and you will need to select the bandwidth amount you will use based on how much traffic your site will get and the total disk space your site uses.. There will be lower bracketed offerings of bandwidth all the way up to web hosting service providers giving unlimited hosting plans.
Hosting Server Operating System
The last topic to cover here is the types of hosting server configurations available. The server type will decide on what types of files, like ASP, that will run on your hosting server. All hosting servers will run HTML, CSS and JavaScript, as those are handled by web browsers, like Safari. One point to highlight is Linux hosting is usually cheaper and Linux hosting with Apache supports the PHP programming language. Windows server hosting runs with IIS and is generally used for ASP files. Linux is more commonly picked as most {open source projects like Drupal run off PHP and mySql~Windows Hosting is on average pricier due to the cost associated with purchasing the windows license for the server}.
Take all these factors into account when purchasing your next affordable web hosting package.
