Hosting
Hosting means to store or, as it name says, host and, when
applying it to informatics terms, it will be referring to the
act of hosting some web site in some server, so it can be stored
in a Web server. This service allows the users the power of
storing any type of information, including documents, videos,
games, images, software, etc. |

There are several kinds of web
information
hosting for the different demands the clients might have; these
six ways are: Shared, Free, Dedicated Servers, Virtual Servers,
Resellers and the Collocation type.
Shared Hosting: this service counts with many clients� web
sites in the same server; due to the program of the web server,
this type of storage is cheaper than the ones that require
payments, because it is directed, mainly, to the little and
medium company and that its clients share the same server.
|
|
|
Free Hosting: it is dedicated for those users
who are getting started on the creation or edition of web sites,
because rookies do not use many details in their design and they
prefer a simple and didactic web site, so they are able to
maintain it. This is why this server possesses very limited
tools, like low band width, strict permission for uploading
adult content, publicity intrusion or Spam, which are set by the
Web adsense web site and, also, an extremely low data traffic. |
|
 |
Reseller Hosting: or resale, is elaborated for
beings who provide their own space for other people; it counts
with several domains and its packages have enough capacity to
host others that are not its own. The payments can be done
through transferences from bank accounts or through the PayPal
system. |
|
|
Multimedia Hosting: there are servers that
store images to put on the internet for free, such as
the ImageShack and other servers that offer the
storage of videos. These servers usually cover their
spends through the publicity that their clients give
them for free.
Dedicated Servers hosting: it is designed so it is
completely managed and controlled by the clients
through his or her computer, although the company that
provides this service does certain maintenance and
internet connection, in a remote way from their
control center.

|
Local Servers hosting: this type of hosting
uses virtual systems, using software such as the VMWaRE or
VIRTUOZZ, with which you can have another system in your
computer and been able to use it (install, delete or any
application). This server is in charge of renting this property
directed to design companies or to the development of web sites.
Housing hosting: or collocation
hosting, this type of hosting
provides the service of selling or renting a physical space by
action of the control center, so the client can have it as if it
were a property, where the company providing this service will
be in charge of the internet connection and the energy source
that is needed, so the client can use the server and the
hardware.
all the types of virtual hosting are characterized for counting
with different operative systems, data bases or the web site
creation motor. One of the combinations used by companies is the
LaMP description (Linux, apache, MySQL and PHP), although,
currently, there are combinations with Java.
