What is hosting?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Hosting is a service with the ability to manage and store your website data. Hosting space is usually rented from providers, who, in turn, allocate space on the server and provide guaranteed operation of the site for 365 days without stopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So how to decide which hosting is right for you? Here you need to consider several factors such as: the amount of traffic on the site, what kind of site you have and the funds allocated, etc. Let’s look at what types of hosting there are and the differences between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Free hosting<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When choosing a free hosting you will come across a number of problems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- There is no guarantee of server stability. By choosing free hosting you are not protected from mishaps such as delays and errors that often occur.<\/li>
- Difficulties in contacting technical support or complete ignoring of your letters. Thus, the processing time of difficulties increases.<\/li>
- When using free hosting, all technical and legal issues will be complicated.<\/li>
- The limit of the server provided may be much less than your resource.<\/li>
- Lack of tools for full-fledged work with the site. For example, PHP, MySQL. Without PHP it is impossible to bind the most popular CMS.<\/li>
- Unlimited amount of advertising on the site from the hosting provider.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Types of hosting<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- (Shared) – Virtual hosting<\/strong>. Widespread hosting in Kazakhstan. All sites are located on the same server and each of them has its own place. All work on the same software.
Virtual hosting is divided into packages, which indicates the maximum number of sites on the hosting, the amount of space provided. An excellent choice when creating landing pages, a business card site for a small online store, etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nFor our clients we often use Digital Ocean<\/a>. It has many settings and servers of different power, which usually fully satisfy the needs of our customers. Also a big plus is a convenient control panel that is easy to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- (Collocation) – Physical hosting<\/strong>. The client has his own server, the provider places the server in his data center. The provider guarantees quality work, data safety and will help in case of problems.<\/li>
- (VPS) – Virtual Private Server<\/strong>. The principle of operation is identical to physical hosting. VPS differs from shared hosting in that you can use not dedicated software, but other types of software. Also, with increased traffic, there is no need to compete with other resources, since a virtual dedicated server has access to physical hosting.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cloud hosting<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In cloud hosting, servers are connected by clusters. When using 2 or more servers, the capacity and potential of the site increases. It is like insurance that in case of failure of one server, the second one works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The difference of such hosting is in the provision of data volume. Also, payment will be only for the used capacity, so there is no need to choose a tariff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What to look for when choosing a hosting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Whether the provider is officially registered as an individual entrepreneur or LLC and has a license. Providers who have been working steadily for several years have an office within the city, it is worth checking the contact details.<\/li>
- Pay attention to the date of domain registration. After all, you should trust those providers who have already consolidated their position in the market. Read reviews, as people say about the provider.<\/li>
- Availability of technical support, and be sure to look at the working hours, it is better to choose those that work 24\/7. Of course, look at the quality and speed of solving your problem.<\/li>
- Synchronization with FTP, because several programmers can work on the site and everyone will have access to the resource.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
