I already told. Today, I want to tell you about what is hosting.
Hosting -this is a physical space provided to you, the hosting company, for storing files and databases your project. In other words, hosting is nothing more than a service (service package) provided by the hostnogo company, for the means of supplying various tariff plans.
Hosting should be purchased from a reliable hosting company, as well as a domain name from an accredited registrar. But in contrast to the domain that is purchased for a year, the hosting can be paid monthly. But when paying for the year it is cheaper.
The choice of hosting may be very difficult, especially if you are new to the site building. From the manifold of sentences and paid and free, the head can go around. How do you decide which of the proposals is better? What is a religious hosting company? Not always the most expensive offer will be the best and vice versa. But it is from hosting that the success of your project depends in many ways.
That is why it is necessary to approach the choice of hosting. There are several tips to help you make the right choice. Consider them in order.
What happens to hosting and why .
There are several options for your choice, in many ways the defining features of your Internet project:
Virtual hosting
The first and most common option suitable for a large number of projects available on the Internet. Suitable on the initial development of the site and for sites with the average daily attendance up to five thousand people. As can be seen from the name, the virtual space on the server of the hosting company is provided to store your resource. And depending on the tariff, you are provided in addition to the volume of virtual space, support multiple programming languages, the ability to create multiple MySQL databases, the ability to place one or more sites on one account, the ability to create subdomains, mailboxes, the ability and so on. Your user account is located on the server among the many of the same accounts of other users. Therefore, resources (RAM, processor time) are dynamically distributed between users
Virtual Dedicated VDS / VPS Servers
The second type of hosting is suitable for successfully developing sites in need of more stable operation in the average daily attendance of more than five thousand people. With this type of hosting, the hosting company creates on its server, a virtual copy of a computer that has all the technical characteristics of a regular server (hard disk, RAM, processor, IP address), in accordance with the selected tariff plan. The advantage of this type of hosting is that the resources provided to you will not have to share with other users. But there are also cons, these are related expenses. To maintain the server's performance, an administrator is needed, which carries out support, support, naturally for fee. Or you can learn to install and configure server systems yourself.
Selected servers
The third type of hosting is suitable for large Internet portals with a huge attendance per day. Example - social networks. The owner is provided with a physical server, for rental rights established in the data center of the hosting company. Server specifications are determined by the selected tariff plan. This type of hosting is the most expensive, and also implies the presence of attendants (administrator).
What to pay attention to the selection of virtual hosting .
Technical support - If you pay for hosting, then we must be confident in the technical support service, which should be available 24 hours 7 days a week. After all, if you have problems with the site, you first
queue Contact technical support, and the faster you will help you, the better for you and your project.
Disk space - The volume on the server hard disk set to storing your site. Now, as a rule, at paid hosting less than 2 GB do not offer. And this is quite enough to begin. But if you
going to post a lot of video and photo material on your website, then more attention should be paid to this item.
Number of sites and databaseswhich you can accommodate on this tariff plan. Let's say if you have several small sites, then you do not need to buy separate hosting for each of them. It is enough to choose the right tariff.
Limit of processor memory - relevant for highly simulated sites, it is very unpleasant when the limit is exceeded and your resource becomes unavailable for a while. It will help the change of tariff or type of hosting or at all hosting companies.
Traffic volume– the number of visitors who can view your site per month. If your site has many visitors, they download a lot of information (for example, photos or videos) from you should more carefully treat this parameter.
Subdomains– this is the ability to create on the basis of your domain second level of the third level domains. For example, you may need to create a forum or bulletin board, then creating a subdomain that you can easily realize the conceived. The subdomain has its own separate folder on the hosting and it is very convenient. Conditionally this is another site. And the domain name will look like this: forum.vashsite.ru
Email for domain - This is the ability to create mailboxes based on your domain. For instance, [Email Protected] Also additional features are the presence of an answering machine and mailing capabilities.
Access via ftp protocol - This is an opportunity to update, complement, download and download files to the site via the FTP client. Very conveniently via FTP Connecting download files to the site and download backups and databases from the site.
Free hosting or paid .
I will not stop on this issue for a long time, but I will only say that now there are many opportunities to place your site on a free hosting made on free designers or yourself. Free hosting It implies restrictions or availability of advertising on your site. In addition, on sites located on free hosting, you will not be able to earn decent money.
Therefore, if you are planned not a big website or a business card site at all, you can easily use free hosting. By the way, I, too, enjoyed free hosting from Hostinger, good free hosting. Of course, technical support is intact and restriction on the number of downloaded files 15000, but there is no advertising and there are all the other charms of paid hosting. Well, there is always the opportunity to change the tariff.
But if you seriously intend to make a good site for people and make money on your site, I recommend that you immediately take seriously to choose a paid hosting. But where to choose it next.
Where to choose a hosting for your site (Hosting providers rating)
We reviewed the highlights with you to pay attention to when choosing a hosting for your site. And now I will tell you a solution that will help you easily decide on the choice of hosting. Until recently, to search for a suitable hosting, it was necessary to quite a lot of time to analyze, get acquainted with real customer reviews and compare the rates of several hosting companies.
But I hurry to delight you, everything has changed on the Internet a very useful resource of the rating of hosting providers appeared. Name to him. At the moment, more than 60 hosting providers participate in the project. Project participants regularly tested. You have the opportunity to make sorting by the parameters that we viewed above.
The rating reflects the most important parameters for which you should pay attention to the selection of hosting, the validity period of the free period, speed and reliability are indicated. And also indicates the price per month of service and user reviews.
Also on the project collected useful articles and video tutorials for each participant rating. After watching video tutorials, you can easily make a choice, and most importantly you will not have technical issues.
Sincerely, Maxim Zaitsev.
The reputation of any site directly depends on accessibility at any time interval without the slightest expectation by all visitors. It is optimally choosing a paid file hosting and not to get into the provider traps, it means optimally ensuring the performance of the website or portal.
Companies providing optimal hosting solutions in the market in enough and can be said in excess. But for the client who had the need to place his own project on the Internet, the choice could be very difficult. It would seem that it can be easier and easier than choosing one of the similar? It turns out, not so simple, as it seems. The practical always the same complex of services provided provides an opportunity to work on this segment of the market for unscrupulous organizations. How to distinguish the chaser from a professional? And how not to get into cunning tariff traps?
The main reliability and quality criterion-professional paid or free file hosting always offers customers a set of own developments with a platform in a complex with the most advanced technology hosting provider, which include a huge selection of high-speed solutions, high-quality and reliable hardware database (own), unique solutions for Achieve a qualitative level of security, flexible capabilities for individual settings. These services will satisfy any, requests for very demanding users.
File hosting is a special service providing the client a place for its files and operational access to them through a special Web interface, as a rule via the HTTP protocol. This service allows you to conveniently distribute or download files. On a special Internet file sharing page (most often on the main), the user loads the necessary file to the file sharing server, after the file sharing gives the user a generated permanent link, which it can easily send by e-mail, stir on the forums, on blogs or forward through special systems Im. Turning on this link is a practical any user can download a published file. Some services have also useful affiliate programs.
File sharing allows you to earn in two ways
- Show contextual advertising. Usually all file hostings are injected with an artificial pause with advertising when users request the necessary file. For 40-120 seconds. Forced advertising is shown to the user, and only then the sink appears to download the file.
- Sale VIP (VIP) or Premium (Premium) accounts. For a couple of dozens of dollars a year, the user appears the opportunity to purchase the right to download files, without advertising and without delay, with an increased or full speed, as many file shares are specifically limited to the download speed. The owner of a paid account also receives other advantages, inaccessible to free users, such as the designer and downloading files from multiple threads.
Free File Hosting - Earnings
The working circuit is approximately the same: the user after registration loads its own files that have a unique URL addresses. Basically, the user to achieve maximum earnings is trying to place a direct reference to its file on more Internet sites. As a rule, these are special sites, as well as ICQ mailing, spam and forums. For each hundred downloads of a unique file, a paid file hosting pays the user money from two dollars, and the larger the size file, the more payment is received.
Greetings beginners webmasters and site owners! Today we will talk about what hosting is and for what it is needed. Find out what kinds are and how they work.
- Part 2.
- Part 3.
Hosting - What is it?
To make it easier for you to understand, let's go back to the material where I explained on the example of the streets, why is it needed. If you continue this analogy with real life, the domain name (site address) indicates the place where the site is located, that is, a specific apartment or a separate house.
The site is nothing but a set of files. These files consist of information that the user sees when it comes to it.
To store somewhere these files, people came up with servers (computers with special software) that work and are in the network 24 hours a day to ensure continuous operation of sites. The service that provides access to the storage of its files on these servers is called "Hosting".
Hosting (english. Hosting - receive guests) is a service that provides a place on the server on the Internet is constantly, to accommodate and store site files.
It turns out that hosting, or as it is also called the "hosting provider", helps us place the site data on your servers.
You probably saw similar frames in films.
This is what the "Data Center" looks like, where these most servers are located. Each hosting has its own or rented Data Center, which can be in any city and country.
Servers are with different characteristics, depending on the power and volume of the disk space for files placed on it. Let's wonder what kinds are.
Types of hosting
There are 4 types of such services.
Virtual hosting
Virtual hosting (eng. Shared Hosting) is the most common view. For the reason that he is the cheapest and for ordinary or young websites - the best option.
On the physical server in the data center you allocate only a certain amount of disk space and computing capacities, depending on the hoster's purchased tariff.
Virtual dedicated server
Virtual allocated server (VPS (VPS "or Virtual Dedicated Server" VDS ") - a full-fledged selected server is emulated within the physical server. It has all the functional necessary for full control and settings, but still uses a portion of the physical server.
Most of all is suitable for professional sites with complex computing processes and heavy loads. When your site will grow up and it will not be enough of those characteristics that give virtual hosting, you can easily switch to the VPS.
A selected server (Dedicated Server) is a physical server with the desired configuration of the technical characteristics. We can assume that under your site installed a separate computer with a full functional, and not allocated part of the place as in the previous two versions.
Such servers usually use large IT projects.
Collocation
Collocation (Collocation) is a service when you place your equipment for creating a server in the data center of the hosting provider. You can say you pay for rental of premises and maintaining equipment performance.
As I have already mentioned, the cost will depend on the selected tariff, which takes into account not only the power of the leased space or equipment, but also additional services.
It may vary from 100 rubles per month to several hundred thousand rubles. If you are a novice and want to make a simple site of your company, a blog, online store or a simple cloud service, then at first you quite have enough virtual.
You can choose the most inexpensive rate.
For example on beget.com, in which I post my young projects, the cost is only 115 rubles per month. When paying for the year it goes less than 100 rubles. There are also cheaper options.
You can also watch tariffs and choose the best here:
- Beget.com (1 month for free)
Pardon, start from afar. Let's say, some comrade Mr. Twister conceived, create a website, a blog or something else ... this is, yes, not simple, and so that everyone can see this work to see in the windows ... its browsers.
From what side to take?
First of all, perhaps, you need to know what a domain is and where it takes.
An, no! In fact, it would be good to find out first: hosting - what is it is it?
Why? I explain. If only because a good hosting service is much more difficult to find than a decent domain name registrar.
First you need to decide where your future site will live, choose hosting tariffs, copy the DNS server addresses from the hoster, and it's never too late to decide with the domain.
Hosting! .. What is it?
As always, everything is very simple.
Hosting is, firstly, such a service on the placement and storage of your files on hard drives of the hosting company servers,
Secondly, again, the service for organizing access to the Internet. Or, as a rule, both services immediately.
Thirdly, or providing customers with a allocated server hosting company, or providing space for placing such equipment clients themselves with a high-speed Internet access organization.
This is such a response to the question - hosting what is it?
What words are found in the topic hosting?
Some more terminology:
I will add that under this word in everyday life often mean a hosting company as a whole.
Here are still synonymous words - Hoster (Hoster), hosting provider, web hoster, in English Hosting Service Provider is all the designations of the organization providing hosting services.
You will not be able to place your site into the World Wide Web Watch without these two things. So that your site began to work, you need to buy a domain and.
What is the site and what does it consist of?
How to choose hostingIf you explain to a simple and understandable language, the site is a bunch of files that are placed on the hard disk of the computer. But they still need to be placed so that they see not only you, but also anyone. Especially for this, Internet servers were created, which provide a certain amount of space on the hard drive (hard disk) for the user and part of the system resources:
- the amount of RAM.
- processor time
- communication channel speed
- number of IP addresses
- number of site placed
- sSH and FTP access
- the volume of traffic consumed
- and much more
Most often, it requires a board from placing content to access such a server. The site visitors themselves do not pay anything.
Why do you need to rent disk space?
The question is often asked: why do you need to rent disk space?
Because this part of the disk has a smart and permanent communication channel with the Internet, the ability to bind a domain to a folder where the files are stored for the site, as well as to the physical disk. Others, if you applied to the domain, hosting gives the user all the Fals, which are present on hosting - site pages.
What is hosting
Hosting is a computer connected to the Internet where you place all the necessary files for the future site. Hosting you rent from a hostling company. Typically, the monthly payment.
Who is the hosting provider
Hosting provider is a company that provides hosting services. For such services on the territory of the Russian Federation, a relevant license is necessary.
What happens to hosting
There are 2 types of hosting: Real and Virtual
Virtual hosting
On a virtual hosting, many sites are located on a single hard disk of one Internet server. Usually, these servers have strict limits to the amount of memory used, to the maximum volume of filling the hard disk, for processor time.
- This is a cheap hosting. Everyone was configured for you. You only need to download files to the server and the site will already work.
The restriction on attendance of such hosting is usually in the region of 300 - 10,000 people / day. Depending on the scripts used.
Real hosting
Internet hosting is virtual and real Real hosting is when on a specific part, only you will be placed a piece of hard disk. You can take the entire volume, you can not occupy. All the same, this highlighted space is assigned to you.
Real hosting rental is very expensive. It is intended for large sites, high-loaded projects that have a high number of visitors per day: dozens, hundreds of thousands of people per day. Virtual hosting is much cheaper. Suitable for those sites whose attendance is 200-300 people per day.
How to choose a hosting for your site
Before buying hosting, you need to think that it will be needed for its functioning. Most often, the choice of hosting depends on the CMS () on which your site will work.
For most sites on hosting needed:
- MYSQL database
- PHP support scripts
- Web server Apache or Nginx
For most sites, this is quite enough.
What hosting is the best
The best hosting, unfortunately, is abroad. Domestic hosting providers breathe in the back, but still lagging behind. At first, in the search for the best host you change several hosting.
All prices are identical. Virtual hosting from 50 to 300 rubles / month.
If you are poorly talking in a foreign language or do not speak at all, then you are the road only to Russian-speaking hosters.
Russian hosting
For beginners, I advise you to choose Gino - www.jino.ru. This is understandable, convenient Hosting control panel. It is cheap, easy to connect and disable services.
Mastersost is also a good hosting provider.
Conventional Typical Hosting Problems
With a high attendance of your site, the hosting accounts for a large load. In this case, it usually falls (stops working) a server with databases. To solve problems on many content management systems there is. As a result, the problem disappears.
