What is Hosting?

Hosting is a type of Internet service that enables individuals and organizations to make their web pages discoverable online. Hosting providers are firms that offer disk drive storage space on a web hosting server located in a datacenter facility and guarantee continuous website availability.

Where do you start?

The Internet has become a vital element in everybody's daily routine. It gives you the chance to gain additional profit, but can also be a chief source of revenue. In order to embed commercials on your website or to promote a service that you offer, you always need a hosting solution, which will make certain that your site is safe and continually reachable. But how do you discover one that is moderately priced and yet trustworthy enough?

The shared hosting solution

The solution hosting service providers have introduced is called shared hosting. With the shared web hosting solution, a lot of shared hosting accounts are hosted on one and the very same hosting server. There are rigorous limits on the system resources that each hosting account can in fact use, thus guaranteeing that they do not meddle with each other. The shared solution offers decent performance and is less expensive than, let's say, a dedicated server, which is used by just one single client. The shared web hosting solution permits hosting firms to offer their clients attractive prices. It ordinarily comes with user-friendly Control Panel software, as is the case with the server that we at Kiira Hosting provide, and enables everybody to manage their websites without bothering about server configuration and maintenance tasks, which are handled solely by the hosting plans provider.

VPS hosting

With the VPS hosting solution, on the other hand, you share a physical machine with other VPS web server hosting customers, but you are allocated a dedicated share of the system resources. The Virtual Private Server solution is the middle ground between the much less expensive shared web hosting solution and the more expensive dedicated hosting server solution, and is a very appropriate option for anyone who wishes to host, for example, a live streaming website or a social networking web site. The circumstance that you have to cope with the web server configuration settings and software updates yourself is somewhat of a weakness, but this could also be a great benefit if you indeed have to make some server configuration modifications - something that would be unthinkable on a shared web server.

Dedicated Servers

Dedicated servers are in the majority of circumstances much more expensive than shared or VPS hosting solutions. You might wonder why would anyone want to use a dedicated hosting server then? The answer is quite simple. If your corporation has a high resource-consuming web portal, or simply has very precise web server architecture and security requirements, the most suitable option is a dedicated hosting web server that you or your technicians can manage directly. For someone who is willing to invest in safety and stability, the greater price is of no importance. You gain root-level access and can use 100 percent of the hosting server's system resources without anyone else utilizing these resources and intervening with your web sites.
