| Take Shared
Hosting |
| There are three main ways to publish
the web site in the Internet, and each of them has its own
advantages and disadvantages. Publishing the web site means that
the web site files will be located, or hosted, on the server
(host), which should always be connected to the Internet. In this
article we shall describe three main web hosting options. |
| Free hosting |
| The web address of your web page will
include the name of your free service, for example, www.mywebsite.freehosting.net or www.freehosting.net/mywebsite It may be OK for
simple personal web sites, but it is absolutely not recommended for
sites with any commercial content, as it will spoil the image of
your company or the products described on the site. Second, you
should realize that nothing is as free as it sounds. The absence of
payment for hosting may mean that the hosting company will not pay
for advertising of its services on your site. Very often free
hosting services demand including their advertising banners on your
web site. Moreover, usually free services do not support some of
modern web technologies, like PHP or CGI scripts, so if your web
site contents any dynamic elements such as feedback form or chat,
they may not function when hosted by a free provider. |
| Hosting by internet
provider. |
| Most often internet providers allow
placing of home web sites for their clients. So if you connect to
the Internet with the help of the provider, you may place your web
site on your provider’s servers. This case is surely better than
free hosting, as you will have the company responsible for your
site functioning, and you will always be able to call their
technical support stuff for help. At the same time there are
several disadvantages in this case, too. Your web address will also
be rather long and hard to remember. And what is worse – you will
be bound to use the services of this provider, because if you stop
using them, your web address will expire. |
| Pre-paid
hosting. |
| This is the best choice to host a
commercial web site. Moreover, the price for hosting services is
constantly decreasing, and each provider usually has several
hosting plans with different payment rates. Now it is possible to
find the company that will host your web site for 15$ a year and
offer you a full set of available services and technologies, like
ftp-manager, online control panel, CGI-scripts support, counters of
traffic. Several e-mail addresses with spam filters and antivirus
protection are usually available with any hosting plan. As a rule,
the same company may help you to get the unique name of your domain
which will create the really authentic web address of your web
site. |
