Comparing Linux Website Hosting Service To Other Web Hosting Services

"Today, it has been a trend for businessmen these days to create and maintain their own website for a range of sales and marketing benefits

. The problem though is when they need to make decisions that can either make or break their chances of enjoying such benefits. A choice between a shared and dedicated web hosting is one of those tough decisions to make.

Shared hosting invovles maintaining a website with minimal to zero expenses. With this kind of hosting, the website is hosted by an external server which can only be manipulated by the owner of the server. This server is also shared with other business sites under a shared hosting plan. With this situation, security will now be the obvious issue. Since the business man is sharing a server with others, vital information such as credit card details may be leaked to others. This exposes both the merchant and his client to the risks of hacking, stolen credit card information and stolen identities.

Several online businessmen really don't understand the significance of web hosting. It is in fact a very important part of an online business but majority of online businessmen overlook it. Several site owners are aware of the fact that they need a web hosting company for their site to be seen online. But some arent aware of an important fact that not all web hosting packages are made equally, in terms of quality and security, that is. Some will do with free hosting; a few will have their own dedicated servers while others will use a shared hosting plan. There is another type of web hosting, however, that comes in between dedicated servers and a shared hosting plan. Shared plans make use of a single server shared by many sites. The fourth, which is probably the ideal plan, is using Linux VPS or Virtual Private Server. So far, this appears to be the best.

When you're on a free hosting plan, you can obviously save a lot of money but you will never be able to make a strong and well-known identity online as your site will be full of advertisements. In other words, you cannot have full control of that space that is supposedly yours on the Internet and you can't even have a URL that is all yours as you will need to have your host's name on it as well. If you're on a dedicated server hosting plan, you will have all the control you need in hosting your site, but this is going to be a problem if your technical skills are limited. This type of hosting plan is also very expensive and can prove to be very impractical unless your business is so big that you can't make use of any other option.

It does look as though a free and dedicated web hosting plans lie on the extremes of the whole scenario. If you think you would like something more than free hosting and less than dedicated hosting, then you can try a shared hosting plan. This will give you more control over your site, although it will not be as much compared to a dedicated hosting. But at least, you get to use a URL that bears your business name and your business name alone. The problem with this kind of plan is that many will be sharing a single server. This means that if technical problems arise, your site will also be affected.

Once more, your fourth choice, Linux VPS, can prove to be the best website hosting option for you. This plan will allow you to create your own virtual private server from a single physical server which may host other sites as well. Nevertheless, each site will get its own operating system and its own configuration capabilities without affecting each other. This is somehow comparable to dedicated plan but costs lesser. But if you have a large business organization, a dedicated hosting plan is the most ideal. But for businesses that are still starting or for those small scale business to medium scale business, VPS can provide you with all your web hosting needs at a very affordable price.

When you want cheap web hosting that is also remarkably efficient, Linux web hosting could be the answer."
