As the information technology industry advances constantly, innovative hosting solutions are introduced to make web page development and administration simpler than ever. A web site hosting account with the smallest hard disk storage space and monthly traffic amounts used to cost 10’s of USD per month, but at the moment, some service providers provide unlimited plans for just a fraction of the cost, allowing individuals and small companies to get their place in the Internet universe.
The introduction of more powerful architectures and the distribution of different tasks between different hosting servers enable vendors to furnish stable, yet cheap web hosting plans. With a shared hosting plan, every user obtains an account on a hosting server and because a bunch of other persons share the same server, the price of the account is very low. Depending on the concrete firm, there may be data storage, monthly traffic or central processing unit usage limitations, but due to the great competition on the marketplace and the aforesaid distribution of tasks, most top firms offer unlimited feature plans. The most typical limitation is related to the CPU load, and such a quota limitation is a way for the distributor to make sure that all accounts on the server will have sufficient resources and that if a single account overloads the hosting server, it will not have a bad effect on the other ones, inducing all the online portals on the web server to become unavailable. A shared website hosting account can be used for any small or medium-sized online portal - from a personal weblog, to a forum or a small-scale web shop.
For more famous websites that get thousands of visits every day, there is also a half-priced, reliable solution - a Virtual Private Server. With this type of webspace hosting, there are only several accounts on a physical server, which still maintains the price rather cheap compared to a dedicated servers. Each VPS has guaranteed resources that are much more than those of a shared web site hosting account, which makes it possible for people to launch big online shops, e-learning web pages with hundreds or 1000’s of users, and big corporate web pages. Similar to the shared hosting accounts, the private virtual web hosting server accounts have one or more features with a particular allowance, which ensures the flawless operation of the other accounts on the web server. The good side of the virtual private hosting server is that the user has full root privileges, i.e. services can be launched and stopped, any software platform can be installed, and the web server can be rebooted through a virtualization panel tool, also famous as a container. Since some script-driven online portals demand additional server-side software to be installed, being granted full root-level access is an important prerequisite for these online portals to work faultlessly.
The site content is administered via a web page hosting Control Panel just as any shared hosting package. The CP types differ on the basis of the webspace hosting service provider, but the most popular ones are Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin, Plesk and H-Sphere, and they all offer you the essential functionalities to maintain your websites, to create and administer files, databases and Email Manager, create password protected areas, activate scripts via a 1-click applications installer menu, and monitor web traffic statistics for your domains. Regrettably, only Hepsia offers domain name registrations, transfers, renewals and multiple domain handling possibilities, via a very user-friendly menu dubbed Domain Manager.
