Not sure which type of web package hosting
to get?
Web hosting is often provided as part of a general
Internet access plan; there are many free and paid providers offering
these services. The free services generally have restrictions on how the
space can be used, including but not limited to: advertising, bandwidth
restrictions, and programs that can be used to edit sites.
Businesses are generally restricted to using a
paid Web host to host their site on. Paid Web hosts usually provide many
more features, including 24/7 support and personalized assistance.
Sites hosted on paid
Web hosts also tend to load more quickly since each server hosts fewer
sites, giving each site a larger proportion of resources.
A customer also needs to evaluate the requirements of the application.
Such considerations include database server software, scripting
software, and operating system. Active Server Pages (ASP) web sites
require a Microsoft Windows based server platform. Most hosting
providers provide Linux-based web hosting which offers a wide range of
different software. A typical configuration for a Linux server is the
LAMP Platform. This includes Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (or Python or
Perl). Usually there is limited interoperability between the two,
although Linux servers can integrate with Windows file services through
Samba, and some Linux hosts provide support for Microsoft FrontPage
server extensions.
Regardless of whether one is a business or has a personal site that
needs to be hosted, it has to be created first. HTML experience is
usually required to create a site (and more advanced languages can be
used for interactive content, such as PHP or Perl), but those without
design experience can hire a Web designer to do the heavy lifting. Once
the site is online there's not much else that's required: the host
generally handles the technical behind-the-scenes work with the server.
