A Newbies Guide to Web Hosting
A website is only visible once it has gone online. This is where a web hosting company comes in as they will more or less put your site on their server which is connected to the net which opens it up to the world. These computers that are used by the various web hosts are similar to the ones you and I have at home. Servers are the names of these computers.
All web hosting services make use of all the latest technology, letting visitors easily reach your site via the internet. The web hosts servers can hold literally hundreds and hundreds of websites and the owners of these sites are, for want of a better word, renting space from them. Large multinational companies usually have their own servers, but this is an expensive undertaking.
Most web hosts offer a wide range of hosting plans that a user can choose from. Most of the features on offer are able to be customised to suit the individual needs of users. In the more basic plans, a user will find that the bandwidth they are allocated is relatively small. Bandwidth can basically be described as all the data that flows between the hosts server and a visitors computer while they are accessing your website. The more bandwidth a site can utilise, the more stable it ultimately becomes as it can support a larger amount of traffic, or visitors. Exceeding the bandwidth limit will either see your site taken down by the host, or you will have to pay extra charges.
This is also a reason to be wary of web hosts that claim unlimited bandwidth for their users. Quite a lot of the time this is just an underhand tactic to entice you to their own specific hosting plan or package. At the end of the day, there isn’t really such a thing as unlimited in the world of web hosts, so keep an eye on your account.
