Do you know that it is a hosting?

Many times we have heard speak of "hosting", but do we know what is exactly?

The hosting is a lodging web; a place where the sites work in Internet. To be able to understand it, we will compare it with building of departments, where we will take as building, the hosting company, and the departments will be the hosting plans. When hiring a hosting company, it is as if he was let a department, in a building, but all their services, as cleaning, gas, light, dilutes, telephone, etc. that is to say, the physical space but the services. When hiring a plan hosting, we are hiring besides the lodging space, different additional services as electronic mail, access FTP, possibility to use data bases, etc.

As well as in a department, in which have space to arrange our furniture, In a hosting plan can arrange all the files of the design of your place personal web or that of your company, systems and services that give you the possibility to communicate at all times with your visitors and clients the 365 days of the year to run.

But, would not it suit to arm my own web hosting? If we continue taking the same example of the building and the departments, it would be as buying a house, instead of renting a department.

If the place is the sufficiently big thing, for that which you will need a lot of space and transfer or a setup very peculiar of the teams, and also accounts with enough budget, you know how to administer a server or in its bug, you have the means to hire qualified personnel, then if it will be advisable to have your own server. But in case alone you want to develop your web, it is advisable to hire a hosting plan, since it is not a high cost, and you will have all the services that you need.

When hiring a hosting plan, we will have the following services:
- You will be able to go up a site to Internet, anyone is their size that this visible one the 24 hours the 365 days of the year from any part of the world.
- You will be able to send and to receive electronic mail, with your own accounts of email of the type name@mydomain.com
- You will be able to create communities in Internet, forums, chats, blogs, video blogs and more.

Do you have doubts on as choosing a hosting plan?
When choosing a hosting plan, we will keep in mind the following thing:

We will be able to choose two types of plans, Linux or Windows, according to the operating system that use the servers that are the computers where they are the plans.

Both plans allow the same services, discrepancies exist between Linux and Windows that who but they will note it they are since people that will program your place web, according to the language that they use for it, it will be the plan that you will choose.
If they will work with PHP you will choose Linux, if they will work with ASP you will opt for a plan Windows.

Another point to keep in mind, is since the space and the transfer that you will use, it will vary according to if your site is small, or it is a website of dimensions most important.

If you hire the service for the first time, and you don't know as determining the size of your site , you must check the weight of the files of the same one and based on that you calculate the necessary space.

One of the main discrepancies is the space and the transfer.
