Web hosting server

A server dedicated to hosting a service or services for users. Hosting servers are most often used for hosting web sites but can also be used for hosting files, images, games and similar content. Hosting servers can be shared among many clients or dedicated to a single client, the latter of which is particularly common for larger web sites where the hosting needs of the web site owner necessitate more control or bandwidth.

A web host is the business of providing server space. Web services and file maintenance for web sites controlled by individuals or companies that do not have their own web servers. Many ISP will allow subscribers a small amount of server space to host a personal web page. Other commercial ISPs will charge the user a fee depending on the complexity of the site being hosted. A hosting serviceprovider (HSP) is an application service provider dedicated to providing hosting service.

Single page hosting is generally sufficient for personal web pages. A complex site calls for a more comprehensive package that provides data base support and application development platforms. These facilities allow customers to write or install scripts for applications like forums and content management. Also Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is typically used for web sites that wish to keep the data transmitted more secure.

Virtual host

A virtual host is a provider of web services that include server functions and internet connection services. A virtual host is often used by companies or individuals that do not want to purchase and maintain their own web servers and internet connections.

A virtual host will provide its customers with domain name registration file storage and directory services for the files that web page is built from , e-mail services and even web site design and creation services if the customers want someone else to built their web sites.

A limitation of using a virtual host is that the customer shares the web services with the other customers of the virtual host. If the virtual host is running multiple sites off the same server, then those sites will be competing for web server resources. Some virtual hosting providers offer co-location services and a customer to dedicated servers that are allocated to serve only that customer needs.

Hosting service that are provided to customers via multiple connected servers that comprise a cloud as opposed to being provided by a single server or virtual server. While security and lack of full control of data are the most frequently cited concerns with cloud hosting there are numerous benefits possible with cloud hosting including increased reliability and accessibility and cost efficiency. Cloud hosting is also sometimes referred to as server on demand hosting, cloud server hosting or duster server hosting.

Why not use the domain email which is free with your hosting account?

Most of the people who are new to web design and blogging don’t understand the capabilities that come free with their domain, so they don’t take advantage of them.

Why not use the domain email which is free with your hosting account? Using email addresses like username@yourdomainname.com will look much more professional than the personal email—and the best part is, it’s free!

Forwarded email addresses are sometimes called “aliases”. An alias, as you know, is another name that refers to a given person. This means you can have any email address you want provided you own the domain name, and you’ll be able to access it from anywhere a browser is handy. Setting it up is a little intimidating, but if you follow these steps, you should be in the clear. (And you only have to set it up once!)
