Hosting Description

Having your own personal web portal is mandatory in modern-day society. The fusion of the World Wide Web in our everyday lives means that, in order for somebody to become seen, or to get his idea noticed, one has to construct a web portal and bring it online. In order to achieve that, you virtually require 2 elements - a website and a hosting service. Prior to setting up a web portal, though, it's vital to know that there are separate sorts of hosting services and that not all websites can work with a randomly picked hosting. In order to clarify this better, let's commence with the central point:

What is Web Hosting?

Hosting, or also famous as 'web hosting', is a designation that refers to the actual web hosting server, or the web hosting corporation that manages the web hosting server. A web server is a computer that's connected to the web and that's set up to support PHP, MySQL, Perl, and so on, which permits the clients to upload their web files on the server and to have them published on the web. There are two primary kinds of hosting servers, on the basis of the OS of the server - Windows and Linux. The 2 OSs are very different and, in the majority of cases, not at all compatible with one another. Therefore, prior to picking the suitable service, one should first examine what sort of server is demanded for their web portal.

If you haven't made the web site so far, then let's take a more exhaustive look at the distinction between the 2 varieties and at what their positive sides are.

What solution should you select - Windows or Linux?

As pointed out, there are applications, which are only consistent with a specific Operating System. For example, JAVA scripts, .ASP pages, .NET Framework, Adobe ColdFusion are all based on Windows and will not function on a Linux hosting server. For that reason, if you consider to devise your website using any of the above, you should be seeking a Windows platform. Windows, though, is not open source-based, which implies that it provides limited choices when it comes to server security and privacy. Thus, Linux is utilized by web server admins around the Globe and most hosting vendors utilize it on their web hosting servers. Utilizing Linux, the administrator can configure the hosting server in an entirely modifiable manner, and if the web hosting server is correctly set up, it can provide total defense against hackers and malicious software. Moreover, the customizability of Linux allows for greater software optimization, which contributes to better web site operation. Therefore, if you want supreme safety and server performance, then you should build your site in such a way that it operates with a Linux-driven hosting server. This is not a tough thing to do, because the most popular Content Management Systems, also famous as CMSs, such as Joomla, WordPress, Drupal, Moodle, etc., are fully consistent with Linux servers and are known all over the Globe for being one of the best software programs for constructing and administering web sites. Surely, this doesn't suggest that each service provider that's utilizing Linux will have admins who are able to properly administer a Linux web server. Selecting the appropriate hosting vendor is very problematic now, since most of them do not have the capacity to engage an accomplished, practiced admin. A Linux server that hasn't been correctly configured can be very hazardous to your website and private information. Thus, when selecting a hosting vendor, it's always recommendable to pick a bigger provider that's been in business for at least several years.

How to recognize the right hosting service provider for my site?

These hosting distributors are easily identifiable by the way in which they are delivering their web hosting services. Experienced hosting service providers offer custom-developed features, various open-source PHP-based scripts or web apps. The most experienced, however, possess even their own personal custom-designed website hosting Control Panels built particularly for their system. A Control Panel is a web-based GUI, through which the client manages the whole web hosting service. Smaller-sized hosting service providers use pre-developed website hosting CPs like cPanel or DirectAdmin. In order, though, to ensure utmost safety and performance for their hosting services, the leading web hosting firms offer to their customers their very own personal custom-built hosting Control Panels made by their own admins. We, at 'EzyWeb Hosting Solutions', don't only offer our own custom-devised CP, but have also set up a free-of-cost PHP-driven script installer, which allows our clients to effortlessly activate any of the aforesaid open-source content management applications. Features such as these verify that we have the capability, the resources and the experience to be entrusted with keeping your private info confidential and your web site - live on the World Wide Web.
