Advantages of web hosting
Small business groups outsource their web presence effectively by transferring the overhead associated with maintaining the web site to the web hosting companies who are more competent in doing the job. It is not only economical but also a hassle free option. The advantages for the clients are that it could focus on its company's motive. The internal resources and the manpower available to it could be diverted in developing the company's core competence. In the bargain, it could avail excellent resources and technical expertise for its Internet needs.
Types of Web Hosting Services
Web hosting services include shared, dedicated and managed services. In case of shared service, the rental fees will be economical but the price the clients have to pay is slow traffic to their web pages. Many web sites will be shared in a single web server and hence the capability to handle multiple requests leads to slow speed of the information flow. Dedicated web hosting allocates a single web server for a web site. This is more flexible catering to the client's sophisticated requirements.
The client can have full control of the back end of the server including the choice of the OS and the database softwares. Managed service is similar to the dedicated service in terms of technical expertise and a single web server for a client. It differs from the dedicated service, as the client is responsible wholly for the administrative duties of the web server.
