What is web hosting and who needs it?
Web hosting, also known as website hosting or shared hosting, is one of the most popular ways through which businesses can build an online presence.
Shared web hosting is effectively a server (computer) split into many different private customer areas, with each area having its own space for files (web space) and ability to transmit these files (bandwidth). These areas are then accessible through a domain name (owned by the customer).
When you type in "www.domainname.com", the website that appears is running on a web hosting platform.
So, what type of website hosting do you offer?
With Easyspace, customers can choose from dedicated hosting, virtual private hosting and shared hosting. Each comes with varying levels of features and specifications to meet customer's needs.
If you have been asked by a designer to buy hosting you have come to the right place! Easyspace web hosting can handle anything a designer can throw at it – or you can ask for your money back via our 7 day money back guarantee.
Who needs web hosting?
Web hosting is used by all types and sizes of business for various projects and applications.
Uses can range from high end ecommerce websites (buying and selling large catalogues of items online) down to hobby websites (sites about your favourite thing).
Others use web hosting to put up picture galleries of special events, presentations and portfolios, to display company strengths and information.
A popular area of growth for such services is the entrepreneurs and start-up sector, with an online presence being one of the fundamental points of sale for many new businesses.
Windows or Linux hosting?
You will continually hear debates from all types of customers about which operating system is best for web hosting. In our opinion, it largely comes down to what you want to do with your shared hosting package. If your plan is to run PHP, Perl or MySQL then Linux is the better option. If your preference is to run ASP, MS SQL or any other windows based scripting, then Windows is best.
Various methods exist to allow Windows Servers to run Linux based scripts, and to allow Linux Servers to run Windows based scripts. However, there are obvious compatibility benefits to running scripts on matching operating systems i.e. Linux on Linux, Windows on Windows. Base your Linux vs. Windows decision on how you plan on building your website.
