Shared hosting is a service that allows a client of a certain hosting provider not to think about hosting a site on his own hardware. Servers are provided by a third-party company that conducts all preventive work, monitors the safety of client data, and maintains all technical processes. The client only needs to timely pay for the provider's services, and the contractor, in turn, undertakes to promptly inform about any work and difficulties if they arise on the technical side.
In fact, hosting with php support , hosting for various platforms, for installing popular CMS and so on is very popular ... This type of service allows the client to realize his most daring ideas in the field of website building, creating portals, full-fledged forums, fairly large online stores, and so on.
Why is it best to order separate hosting in a virtual environment?
Few people today will even think about the possibility of placing all the information on their own resources. First, it will cost more. Secondly, you will need to constantly monitor so that there are no attacks, the resource located on the server does not become a carrier of viruses. Thirdly, it will not be possible to leave somewhere and just forget about the existence of your own project for a while.
At the same time, the advantages of shared hosting are:
- Ability to buy the required amount of memory (space) on the server very cheaply.
- Using servers abroad, which is very important if you do not want the site to be covered by law enforcement agencies for reasons that only they know.
- If necessary, you can always ask to increase the amount of resources you want to use. This means that you do not need to buy additional servers, reconfigure everything, spend a lot of time to keep the site alive. You just need to upgrade to a more expensive shared hosting plan.
If you are interested in more detailed aspects of various technical features of hosting, you can always order a specialist consultation in order to understand which hosting will suit you. Do you need the location of the server in a specific data center (data center of a specific country, for example, the USA, Singapore or France), how much memory is needed, how the CMS is configured, what is the database, and so on.
