This time a question from a blog reader landed in our inbox. This is about hosting. As everyone knows this is necessary for every website to function properly. But what exactly is this service? Various options and configurations are available on the network. Also available as a free solution. Is the stuff you can buy for free worth it? As our Special Assignment Specialist Anthony has conducted a thorough investigation on this topic I will try to present the results below.
What is hosting In a previous article I allowed myself to compare a domain to a real world street C Level Contact List address. So when we register a domain we mark our place in the internet space. The analogy applies here as well because hosting is a service that shares the graph on which these addresses may be located. These diagrams are so-called servers i.e. properly prepared computers with very spacious and fast hard drives and efficient components connected to a specific network with permanent access.
This is where service providers provide their customers with a place to store all the resources related to. These can be domain website profiles database email accounts or other services. In other words if our home is a website whose address is a domain then the image where the house is located is the server and its manager is the hosting company We are sure that there are many types of websites in demand. Additionally they may each serve a different purpose.
