Hi Mitch, great article
but where are the meat and potatoes? I want to
know more about what makes these all different
and how to choose the right one. I'm new to the
web hosting world so could you help me?
I did take a look back
at that article, and after taking a second glance
over it I do realize there is more to be said.
Lots more. So I have decided over the next three
days I will try my best to explain in more depth
what is really behind virtual, re seller and
dedicated Web hosting.
Virtual Web hosting (sometimes
known as shared Web hosting) is what ninety percent
of the Internet is run under. These smaller Web
hosting accounts are often sold by Web hosts
most often because they are low in price and
easy to manage. In size they can range from 5
GB of space all the way up to 50 GB or more.
These are just facts though, what really is a
virtual Web hosting server?
Well, think of that pumpkin
pie you had on Thanksgiving. Chances are you
did not eat it all by yourself, and if you did,
shame on you! You cut the pumpkin pie into separate
but equal pieces. This way everybody who wanted
some, got some. Think of virtual Web hosting
the same way. Instead of having a pie, you have
a Web hosting server. The server's bandwidth
and disc space is divided up, and your Web hosts
sells you one of those divided pieces of proverbial
Web hosting pie.
What happens when a Web
host runs out of room on the server? The same
thing that would happen to the pumpkin pie, well
sort of. Instead of cooking up a new pie, the
Web host purchases a new Web hosting server and
the process starts up again. The server is divided
up, people buy the pieces, so on and so forth.
Now that you understand
where your virtual Web hosting account comes
from, what makes it different from the rest?
Well, both dedicated and reseller accounts come
with more options. I will go deeper into those
later. Also they are split up, much like the
pumpkin pie above. The difference is they are
split up into bigger pieces.
What should your virtual
Web hosting account come with? Many Web host
pack on a list of extra features that would probably
make your head spin. The two most important things
you should look at though are bandwidth and disc
space. Many of the other features you receive
are pretty standard no mater which Web host you
decide to go with. Most often, the Web host will
have a table or chart for you to look at so you
can see the advantages of their different Web
hosting plans.
Is virtual Web hosting
the Web hosting for you? More than likely it
is. As I said before, ninety percent of the Internet
today is made up of virtual Web hosting accounts.
If you just want to put up a standard Web page,
this is the plan for you.
Tomorrow I will take
a look at the world of reseller Web hosting,
and explain the truth behind all the marketing
hype you read on most Web hosts' Web sites. Continued...
