What Does Shared Hosting Signify?
As its name indicates, shared hosting is a solution, which entails hosting web content. There are various forms and types of web hosting, depending on the purpose and on the functions. Still, they all pertain to hosting files, which, once hosted, are made available throughout the World Wide Web. A host is actually a hosting server that is linked to the Web and has its own personal IP address, which enables people to get access to it via the World Wide Web. The hosting server's configuration and its system resources are dependent on the form of web hosting service it will be utilized for.

Depending on the mission, the professional hosting solution may be:
File Storage Web Hosting - this form of web hosting enables the customers to accommodate their files on a certain hosting server. With the average file web hosting solution, the files that are stored may only be accessed by the client that's utilizing the service. This hosting service normally appertains to backups of computers , documents, private files and even other web hosting servers. This solution may also include certain restrictions in relation to the data space and the root access. There may also be traffic limitations, but that is dependent on the particular web hosting service provider.
Warez Web Hosting - the so-called warez web hosting solution is quite similar to the previous web hosting service form. Still, in contrast with the file storage hosting solution, the warez hosting solution is utilized for distributing patented materials without the authorization of the patent bearer. In short - it entails the unlawful transmission of files and documents. There are many ways for this to be executed, but the 2 main ways are - via plain HTTP downloading and via P2P connections. The first one involves either a certain site, or, most commonly, simply a directory on a hosting server that's been made available for everyone to access it and thereby download licensed content free of charge. The second way entails a peer-to-peer connection, using the so-called Torrent servers, through which users swap files between each other. There are just a few web hosting firms that permit such type of hosting on their web servers, mostly due to all the legal problems that it presupposes. Typically such web portals are hosted on personal dedicated web hosting servers that are registered by 3rd party companies either in the Middle East or in Asia.
Mail Web Hosting - this solution is utilized with both shared web hosting and dedicated hosting servers, based on the client's desire. If you desire to set up your very own private SMTP mail server, then you will need either a virtual private web hosting server or a dedicated hosting server that offers the level of access required to complete such a task. For common mail web hosting ends, however, you can avail of a regular shared website hosting account, to which you can point the mail exchanger records of your domain name. This is not a service that's very popular, since the website hosting and the email hosting services are being served by two different servers, often owned by different providers.
Shared Hosting - the most popular and universally utilized hosting service at the moment. It's used for hosting site files, whose type is dependent on the Operating System the server is making use of - Linux or Windows. Different kinds of files require concrete web server Operating Systems, otherwise they won't be exhibited accurately on the Web. This sort of web hosting may have server storage and bandwidth limits, root access and central processing unit usage restrictions.
Depending on the purpose and on the objectives, the customer should select the sort of web hosting server that he requires for his work, and, of course, the web hosting supplier that's going to furnish it. There are different kinds of web servers, based on the configuration and the hosting services that they provide. These are:
Shared Web Hosting Server - a shared website hosting server supplies a smaller amount of resources, which, of course, is reflected on the cost of the service. It can be used for hosting small size and middle sized web sites, which do not demand vast quantities of web storage and web traffic.
Semi-dedicated Servers - they perform on the very same principle as the shared web hosting servers. In spite of that, there are much fewer clients accommodated on the same web hosting server. Because of that, each of them will receive a bigger quota of the web server's resources like RAM, data space, traffic and CPU. Ideal for hosting bulky online portals that do not demand complete server root access.
Virtual private servers are excellent for medium sized web portals, which do require root-level access to the web hosting server's configuration files. Normally, there are a handful of VPS web hosting server accounts situated on the same machine. Yet, each of them is insulated from the others and runs its own Operating System.
Dedicated Server - a fully dedicated web hosting server set up and accessed by you and solely you. It guarantees a tremendous quantity of system resources. It also includes server root access, which makes it an excellent platform for any kind of online portal that necessitates a website hosting service.
The only question that remains is:
Which hosting provider should I pick?
As mentioned above, there are just a few web hosts offering warez web hosting services because of legal predicaments. Such providers are being closed down virtually every month. For that reason, if you desire to establish such a service, you should do it on your own personal computer. The shared web hosting solution is the most popular type of hosting service. That is why, each web hosting company offers it. Not all of them, though, provide solutions such as private virtual servers, Semi-dedicated Servers and dedicated web servers. Most of the small sized web hosting providers do not have the resources needed for offering those solutions. You can effortlessly recognize such companies by the kinds of solutions that they are providing and by the manner in which they present them to the clients. For instance, some hosting companies permit you to kick off with a smaller web hosting package and afterwards shift to a bigger one, if you deem it necessary to do so. This is very suitable, because you do not need to relocate websites between web hosting servers and there is no possibility of suffering service disturbances due to all the complications that may crop up.
