What is Hosting?
101
Let us try to understand in simpler terms, by drawing an analogy between hosting and an office, which is a place you take on rent or lease at a business centre, with latest facilities and equipments, where you keep your documents and people come to meet you. Your office has an address and one can reach it within no time. Similarly, a hosting, also called web hosting, is a space on a web server of a company taken on rent or lease, having the latest configuration, technology, applications, where you keep your files, having an internet address and people visit it through fast internet service.
Types of Hosting
The high configuration computers that host your files are called web servers, and are connected to high- speed T3 internet fiber optics connectivity, with mostly 99.9 % uptime. You get this facility from internet service providers or companies dedicated to hosting, and offer variety of solutions depending upon the need of the clients.
Shared Hosting (Virtual Hosting): As servers are expensive, they host many websites, hundreds, or even thousands on one server, with each having their own web address or domain name using the same resources of the server, to share the expenses and make it affordable to the clients. This economical solution suits small businesses and individuals desiring online presence with simple, small, and static websites. There are some providers, which offer free web space with basic features for personal web pages, mostly supported by advertisements.

Dedicated Hosting: This is required for big applications, which run on the whole server, with no other websites hosted on it, and the client having full root or administrative access. Clients can also avail the facility of Virtual Dedicated or Private Server (VPS), where the server resources are divided into the many virtual servers, with each having full control.
