• Clients can help each other with web development questions and provide feedback on each other's sites.
• Clients can read answers to previous questions that they may also have and thus get answers faster without asking the same questions again.

Web hosting.

A service provided by someone, usually a company, which offers disk space on a computer that is connected to the internet.

The purpose of using this disk space is to store files that are made available to the internet for anyone to view using a standard internet browser.
In addition to the above it is common for a web host to offer email facilities as well as a large variety of options which have to be reviewed carefully to ensure that you get all the facilities you are likely to need.
To be accessible on the internet you need web space on a server. Your Website needs space for the information to be placed on - just like on the Hard Disk of your computer. This information consists of files that can be accessed through their filenames. To call up such a file name there should be a hyperlink on an other page.

The process of placing files on a web server’s hard disc is called web hosting.

Why is Web hosting Needed?

Whether someone is trying to publish a blog or setup a website for your company, he will inevitably encounter the term "hosting." If it's the first time he's encountered the term, it may be a little perplexing. No, this kind of "hosting" doesn't involve having people over for dinner. And, no, etiquette does not require you to present yourself at someone's door with a bottle of wine in order get your content published. This will be obvious if you've gotten this far, but the point here trying to make is that even if someone consider himself to be fairly internet savvy, he might still find coming up with a simple web hosting definition to be a tricky task and he needs to begin by asking the right questions.


When someone log onto a website, his browser downloads data in order to compile the presentation of the content he actually see displayed. For that to happen, the data had to be waiting somewhere, ready to be accessed by surfers. That "somewhere" can be pretty much anywhere as long as the site's domain name is correctly associated with the IP address of the server where the data is stored. To make a long story short, a "web host" is a system setup to store a website, all its data and files, and make everything accessible over the Internet using the appropriate software. A "web hosting service" is a product comprising the servers, software and technical expertise required to operate and maintain a fully-functional website, letting the users concentrate on the content they want to publish. However, any comprehensive web hosting definition will need to go into a little more detail.

How To Find A Perfect Web Host

Take into consideration that there is no perfect web hosting plan out there. We can back that up with the flat out knowledge that any one hosting plan does not fit every requirement, budget and web site, therefore it can't be perfect. You can however find the perfect web host, that is, at least a perfect web host for YOU.


First do a little smart investigating as to exactly what you need from your hosting provider. Are you looking for cheap web hosting and have a small budget? Does your webhosting provider need to have a datacenter near you and have the ability to let you get your hands on a dedicated or collocated server? Well cheap web space is everywhere, you can find that easy enough, but finding the perfect mesh of the extras beyond just a server plugged into the wall and then into the backbone, is what will get your problems taken care of before you even knew you had them.


Taking price out of the picture for now, since cheap hosting is really available from any web host out there these days, let's focus on the web site itself. What will you be doing with your site that makes unlimited data storage and transfer a necessity? Is your blog popular enough to require terabytes of bandwidth? Will your company web site be able to stand with one hundred other sites on a shared hosting account, sharing the drive and IP address, and connection for that matter? Your best web hosting plans will not always be the ones with sky-high limits, or no limits on your web site hosting, but will keep their web space and yours at a maintainable level in a catered-to environment.


Once you have determined what your web site will do for you, ask yourself, or your developer HOW it will do those things. Will you need ASP hosting on a Windows or modified Linux server? While most business web hosting accounts are beefy enough to handle hundreds or thousands of simultaneous visitors, will your database or cart that accompanied your ecommerce web hosting be able to take that much pressure? Simultaneous activity is one of the weak points in a cheap host and its ability to deliver reliable website hosting service.


With all your pieces of this hosting puzzle collected, now you can focus on finding the most affordable web hosting that can also accommodate your other needs. Never try to find the cheapest host and buy a plan blind, because you always get what you pay for. Select your web hosting service based on your needs, and then choose a provider and plan that fill those needs. You will be happy with your results and won't end up with glorified ftp hosting from some guy's basement for $1.25 a month.
