What is Web Hosting? |
| |
A web hosting
service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows
individuals and organizations to provide their own websites
accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that
provide space on a computer server for use by their clients
typically in a data centre. |
| |
| What is Web Hosting
Uptime? |
| |
Hosting uptime
refers to the percentage of time the host is accessible via the
Internet. Many providers state that they aim for a 99.9% uptime,
but there may be server restarts and planned (or unplanned)
maintenance in any hosting environment.
A popular claim from the popular hosting providers is '99% or
99.9% server uptime' but this often refers only to a server
being powered on and doesn't account for network downtime. Real
downtime can potentially be larger than the percentage
guaranteed by the provider. Many providers tie uptime, and
accessibility, into their own Service Level Agreement, or SLA.
SLAs may or may not include refunds, or reduced costs if
performance goals are not met. One must be extremely careful
when selecting a new company and they should read all terms and
conditions carefully. |
| |
| What is the
Difference between Web Host Companies? |
| |
The scopes of
hosting services vary widely. Unfortunately many hosting
companies do not offer features that are required by web
designers or offer extra features at an added cost. The best thing to
do is try the hosting company first without committing to a long
term contract. Check pricing, disk space and email
accounts to start, then ask your web designer what features they
require, like ASP, PHP and MySQL for your website.
ESIMDS
has fulfilled all approaching web designer requirements to date. |
