Want to boost your business by launching your website? Or planning to start a blogging site? Have you been toying with the idea of having an online store to generate more sales and expand your reach to a broader global clientele? No matter what your reason for creating your website is, having a website is definitely a step in the right direction. More so, in this day and age, where the use of the Internet has permeated into every walk of life. But merely creating a website does not automatically make it accessible to the whole world. You need to avail the service of web hosting, as a web hosting solution, in order to ensure that your business site or your blog or your online store or any other type of site that you might be planning to launch online, is accessible to website visitors.
This
blog will provide information on not only web hosting as a service and how it
functions but also make you aware of the different types of web hosting
solutions that are available to you for launching your website online.
What Is the Role of Web Hosting?
An
electrical appliance needs electricity to function, similarly a website needs
the service of web hosting, browsers and a live Internet connection in order to
remain seamlessly accessible online to website visitors. Here, we shall
elaborate specifically on the role of web hosting, which is a service that
every website needs to avail in order to remain up and running.
The
service of web hosting, which is also referred to as website hosting, is
offered by various web hosting companies, including HTS Hosting, which is a Top Web Hosting
Company in India and abroad. Various technologies and services that are
needed for keeping websites seamlessly accessible are part of web hosting. Web
hosting is availed by website owners for ensuring that their websites can be
accessed over an active Internet connection by website visitors. This service
can be purchased from web hosting companies in the form of various web hosting
solutions; each of which is sold as multiple web hosting plans.
Every
web hosting plan, regardless of the web hosting solution, offers web server
space and a host of web hosting features. This web server space is utilized for
storing as well as processing the files of websites. The web hosting features
are meant for the efficacy of the service of web hosting.
Once the
service of web hosting has been purchased, the files of your hosted site get
stored on the web server of your service provider and get processed on it,
based on the request the server receives from the various browsers. The
browsers of the Internet-connected devices of website visitors initiate
communication with the web server in order to retrieve the stored files of your
hosted website on it. The server receives the incoming requests and locates the
hosted files in its storage, processes those and makes the files available for
retrieval. As soon as these files become accessible on the Internet-connected
devices of website visitors, your hosted site becomes accessible to the site
visitors.
It is
evident that in the absence of the service of web hosting, the required web
server space won’t be available for websites to be hosted on and for their
files to get subsequently retrieved from, by the browsers of site visitors who
want to access these websites. That is why, availing the service of web hosting
plays an extremely important role in the seamless online availability of every
type of website.
The Different Types of Web Hosting Solutions that Are
Available for Hosting Websites
In
order to cater to the web hosting requirements of different types of websites,
different types of web hosting solutions are made available. The main types of
web hosting solutions are Shared Web Hosting, Dedicated Web Hosting, Managed
VPS Hosting, Self-managed VPS Hosting, WordPress Hosting and Reseller Hosting.
Here, we shall elaborate on the first five web hosting services that have been
mentioned. That is because Reseller Hosting is not meant for hosting individual
websites but is a web hosting solution that enables you to start the business
of web hosting easily, quickly, at minimum expenditure and at the least risk.
If you
are looking to host your website, then you can avail an appropriate web hosting
plan from a professional web hosting company, such as HTS Hosting, as either a Shared Web Hosting solution or as a
Dedicated Web Hosting solution or as a VPS Hosting solution or even as a
WordPress Hosting solution. This choice will depend primarily on the type of
website that you are planning to host, its hosting requirements and your
budget. Every web hosting solution caters to a set of web hosting requirements
and different web hosting plans cater to different budgets. Most of the
professional web hosting companies, including HTS Hosting, provide an array of web hosting plans to offer ample
scope for making an ideal choice. HTS
Hosting, which is considered as the Best Web Hosting Company, offers 24*7
customer care service for assisting prospective customers with regard to
selecting web hosting plans that meet their hosting requirements and budgets.
As a
website owner looking to launch your website, you can opt for either a Shared
Hosting plan or a Dedicated Hosting plan or a VPS Hosting plan. In case you are
looking to host a WordPress website, then you can choose a WordPress Hosting
plan, which is meant exclusively for WordPress websites. A WordPress website
can be launched online using any web hosting plan but availing a WordPress
Hosting plan ensures that the hosting requirements of your WordPress site are
met perfectly by this hosting plan. That is because, WordPress Hosting, as a
web hosting solution, has been designed with features to cater to the specific
hosting requirements of WordPress sites.
When you
avail Shared Hosting, your website gets hosted along with several other
websites on a web server. This results in the sharing of a common IP address,
web server resources and web server space among multiple websites that are
hosted on the same web server. HTS Hosting offers a range of affordably-priced
Shared Hosting plans for Linux and for Windows that deliver fast speed, secure
hosting and remarkable performance, despite the shared web server aspect of
this type of web hosting service.
HTS
Dedicated Hosting is a special type of web hosting service, which is similar to
Shared Hosting in every aspect, except that it offers a dedicated IP address to
every hosted site. At HTS Hosting, you can choose from an array of Dedicated
Hosting plans for Linux and for Windows that can be purchased at
budget-friendly prices.
Virtual
Private Servers (VPS) are a special type of web servers that are used for
storing and processing the files of the hosted websites in VPS Hosting. These
servers utilize Virtualization Technology to deliver dedicated server
resources, dedicated and private server space that is virtually created, along
with a dedicated IP address to each of the hosted websites. In VPS Hosting,
multiple websites do get hosted on a single web server but each of the hosted
sites gets the environment of a dedicated server.
You can
avail VPS Hosting as either Managed VPS Hosting or as Self-managed VPS Hosting.
In the former, the expert and experienced team of your service provider, will
manage your VPS. On the other hand, in the latter, you, as the user of the VPS,
shall be responsible for managing it on your own without the assistance of your
service provider. If you seek convenience with regard to server management
and/or do not have the know-how to manage a VPS, then you need to opt for a
Managed VPS Hosting plan. If you seek full control over the management of your
server, as well as you have the required skills and knowledge to manage a VPS,
then you should opt for a Self-managed VPS Hosting plan. HTS Hosting offers
value-for-money VPS Hosting plans for Linux Managed VPS, Windows Managed VPS,
Linux Self-managed VPS and Windows Self-managed VPS. These plans deliver
unrivalled speed, security and performance at incredibly low prices.
Conclusion:

professional service provider is a necessary step in ensuring the seamless
online availability of any website. In order to host a website, plans can be
chosen from Shared Hosting, Dedicated Hosting, Managed VPS Hosting,
