In our modern world where Internet has
turned out to be an unavoidable part of human life, every corporate
organization desires to have its own website. Presence of intense competition
in majority categories of goods and services influences businessmen to establish
a website to gain popularity and promote sales. But, establishing a website is
not everyone’s cup of tea. It demands money and efforts on regular basis. Many
businessmen think establishing a website is the end but in reality the list of
tasks to be performed goes far beyond just commencing a website. Every website
requires the support of web hosting service so that it can be available to
millions of people residing in six out of seven continents on Earth.
Web
hosting service is provided by thousands of firms known as web hosts and data centers. These firms own
servers where website owners need to buy some space so that their website can
be hosted and internet connectivity can be provided. Web hosting companies
offer various types of hosting services. Business website owners get the
flexibility to choose the most appropriate type of hosting plan as per the size
of the business firm. For instance, a small business firm whose website doesn’t
require much server or disk space can opt for shared web hosting service wherein
same server is shared by various websites and hence the charges of every
website is reasonable. Large scale business firms choose dedicated server hosting
service wherein a website owns a separate dedicated server, RAM, disc space and hence
pays more dollars.
Choosing web hosting services depends upon
various factors. First, as mentioned above, size of business website. A small
website that contains only a couple of webpages can be managed using shared
hosting service whereas huge business firms require a separate server. However,
some small firms choose a separate server because shared server involves the
risk of getting infected due to problems in other websites. Second, platform
matters. Windows and Linux OS are the most used platforms in the world and both
have its own merits. Windows is ideal for websites that are based on ASP,
ASP.NET scripts or Microsoft products whereas for Perl and Python, Linux OS is
preferable. Third, website’s and web hosting server’s management. Not every
business firm appoints an IT employee to look after its website. Appointing a web
hosting professional is beneficial from a big business firm’s point of view
because the bigger a firm, more will be its products and services. On the other
hand, professional web hosting companies are ideal for small websites that do
not require regular updates.
At present, no business company likes to
appoint an IT professional to take care of web hosting services. Instead,
business companies appoint web hosting companies that provide reliable service
at reasonable prices. Seeing the demand for web hosting, thousands of companies
have established but one should only choose a genuine firm for web hosting
service because it ascertains the accessibility and data of website in the web.
Due to intense competition, web hosting companies offer various reasonable
plans for different business websites. Hence, website owners should choose the
best suited pack to avail web hosting services from a reliable web hosting
company/data center for the development of the business website.
