Features of World Wide Web, Web Hosting And Shared Web Hosting

It seems like yesterday when we had a printed paper in one hand while sipping a cup of morning tea. The pace of life as well as technology have gone a full summersault and halted in a scenario where the first thing in the morning we do is to switch on our Desktops/Laptops or swipe into our tablets to read an e-paper. The domination of internet and thereby, portals have never been this strong in ages before. Computers are an invention of Homo sapiens yet the World Wide Web emerges as the ruler.

World Wide Web

World Wide Web, ideally known as www or simply the web, is distinctly different from internet. People are often found uttering “the internet” when actually they are referring to the web and vice versa. Thus, a little non-technical differentiation, here, might be of some help to all the non-technical people out there.

• Internet in plain language is a network of coded systems connecting numerous computers worldwide over an internal server.
• World Wide Web is a service that is transmitted over this internal network of connected computers.

The web is a system containing information of text documents that are hyperlinked. These documents are internally connected and built on over a domain by means of backlinks, URLS, hyperlinks, and domain names. These documents are accessed with the help of “internet”. The text or pages on the www are termed as web pages, the software used to access them over the internet as termed as web browsers.

Now, in World Wide Web two terms are very common. One is web hosting and the other is shared web hosting.

Web Hosting

Web hosting is a hosting service that enables a website to create its own space in the server of the World Wide Web so as to make it accessible via the internet. The companies known as web hosts technically create a space for a website on a server which has either been owned by a client or have been leased by the same. This server where the website is built is internally connected with the giant platform (WWW) and reaches out to the people over the internet.

The various types of popular web hosting are:

• Free Web Hosting
• Shared Web Hosting
• File Hosting
• Video Hosting
• Cloud Hosting
• Blog Hosting
• Image Hosting
• E-mail Hosting

And several such types of hosting.

Shared Web Hosting

The name puts in a little hint about this type of web hosting. A shared web hosting is a web server which has many websites sharing the single server and is accessible over the internet. To keep a website separate from the numerous others as they share the same parent server, each website has got a definite position allocated to them in order to have a smooth functioning. People owning or leasing websites often opts for shared web hosting as the costs of website maintenance is equally shared among the owners. Thus, this hosting is very much pocket- friendly as well as popular.

Best shared hosting web companies broadly uses two types of hosting methods. They are internet protocol based method and name based method. A good many web hosting companies have their webpages online from where you can easily choose the best one to assign the task of shared hosting.
