The latest innovations in the world of technology have brought in a lot of advancements and developments in the field of the information sector. We are accustomed to the common term in the internet world called ‘websites’. Here is an article throwing light on the functioning and working of a general website.
Website hosting: A service that facilitates you with online space thus helping you to start a website is known as web hosting. Such web hosting organisations provide you with web space on a server they own themselves. Web hosts offer different types of web hosting services such as shared web hosting, dedicated web hosting, managed web hosting, reseller web hosting, etc.
Shared Web Hosting: As the name suggests, such a kind of web hosting offers you web space that is shared by other, usually ten or more websites will be on each server. A web space is thus given to you on a single server where many websites are placed.
For someone who is new to such an area of work should go for cheaper shared hosting. Such shared website hosting sometimes comes without MySQL and PHP support. This can be a good choice for someone who is trying their hands at website creation and can experiment new ideas.
Premium shared hosting will almost certainly come with MySQL and PHP support. One gets web space on a powerful and well administered server by paying an amount to the web hosting company.
Let us now discuss few advantages and disadvantages of shared web hosting.
Advantages:
- Lower costs
- A well administered and reliable server
- Comes with multiple e-mail accounts, along with MySQL and PHP support
- You need not have technical knowledge of servers as someone else administers the server itself
Disadvantages:
