Server and Hosting: Server hosting refers to offsite management and upkeep of hardware resources that are designated for a company’s use. By paying a monthly/Yearly fee to a hosting service, companies can reap the benefits of having a full IT infrastructure without all the cost associated with equipment maintenance, training and updates. The cost of purchasing server hardware and hiring an IT staff is beyond the financial capabilities of many companies and small businesses. A typical organization requiring its own server might spend thousands of dollars buying hardware, installing it onsite, equipping it with proper security and redundancy measures and keeping on a full-time IT staff to ensure its ongoing functioning. The need for a server quickly escalates from a small investment on the hardware to a six-figure sum that requires ongoing attention and resources. By enlisting the help of a server hosting service, businesses remove the need for keeping server resources onsite, or to the cloud. They don’t have to maintain the hardware, ensure its upkeep or even worry about troubleshooting in moments of crisis. The hosting service takes care of everything to ensure the server is always available for a company’s needs when they need it. The typical server hosting solution is made up of three different services: managed hosting, virtual private servers and dedicated servers. Greater data protection One of the most popular reasons behind server hosting is the security given to a company’s data. Typical problems faced by most organizations are keeping data secure and backed up. Data security is easily managed with server hosting providers as their server resources are protected within data centers behind multiple firewalls and physical security measures. Data backups are likewise handled by leveraging the resources of the data center as a whole and multiple redundancies are used to store a client’s data in multiple locations to prevent against data loss and hardware failure. The end result is a more comprehensive and reliable server solution that few companies could hope to achieve on their own. Managed hosting In this instance, a company can lease server resources for onsite use. The hosting service delivers the server and installs it typically, and the lessee has complete control over the hardware, operating system and software. When the server itself has issues, the hosting service takes care of maintenance and monitoring. In this instance, it saves companies the costs associated with personnel and maintenance of IT infrastructure. This is among the more expensive of server hosting options because it still requires a significant financial monthly investment to lease the hardware and guarantee the availability of maintenance personnel. At the same time, it proves to be less expensive than keeping in-house IT staff for the purpose of server management. Dedicated server

10. BUT HOW DO I KNOW
which hosting plan fulfills my website needs?
Well, let’s take a look...

11. SHARED HOSTING
It is not only the most popular, but also the
most affordable web hosting plan. The web server is shared by multiple
websites in a common hosting environment. They share the same IP address and
server resources (disk space, RAM, bandwidth, uptime, etc).
8
www.thecorporateservices.com 11

12. VPS HOSTING
In this hosting plan,
a server is divided into multiple virtual units
and each unit acts as a dedicated server that hosts only one website.
9
www.thecorporateservices.com 12

13. DEDICATED HOSTING
Here, the user rents the entire server to host his/her website.
The user can either choose to host one of his/her websites or all of them on that server. It
is best suited for websites that require higher server performance, security and control.
10
www.thecorporateservices.com 13

14. CLOUD HOSTING
This hosting service utilizes the trending cluster server technology.
A Cloud Hosted website is supported by a number of servers in the network.
The server resources are distributed amongst the websites on real time basis,
leading to proper configuration and load balancing.
11
www.thecorporateservices.com 14

15. RESELLER HOSTING
In this hosting plan,
a business rents a number of servers from a web host to offer web hosting services to a third party. In
other words, the business acts as the middleman offering hosting services of the parent host to
the end customer, and earning in the process.

16. BEING AWARE
Being aware of what’s available in the
market isn’t going to land you with a good
web hosting service provider. Asking is always
better than assuming!
Here are a few things you should ask your
prospective provider…
13
www.thecorporateservices.com 16

17. What’s Their Niche?
Every web host has one plan in which they are best at.
It may offer all plans, but its strength lies in that particular
plan.
Opt for a plan that fits your bill and a web host that is the
best at it.
14
www.thecorporateservices.com 17

18. DOES IT PROVIDE
ENOUGH DISK SPACE?
On an average, a website doesn’t need anything more than
1GB of disk space. Don’t fall for the ‘unlimited’ trap when
it comes to disk space.
Opt a web host that is transparent about their resource
allocation.
15
www.thecorporateservices.com 18

19. DO THEY HAVE 24/7
TECHNICAL SUPPORT?
A website has dozens of programs and extensions running
in the background; a technical glitch can arise anytime. To
ensure your website doesn’t break down and suffer bounce
offs, choose a web host that offers 24/7 prompt technical
support.
16
www.thecorporateservices.com 19

20. WHAT HARDWARE
ARE THEY USING?
Always enquire about the hardware being used by web
hosts to provide you services. Hardware has a direct
impact on the efficiency of your website. Don’t go for
hosts hesitant on giving out details.
17
www.thecorporateservices.com 20

21. IS THEIR USER INTERFACE
FOR YOU?
Before you sign up for any hosting plan, go for a free trial
to test if the user interface and control panels fulfill your
needs; you don’t want to be switching hosts later.
18
www.thecorporateservices.com 21

22. DOES IT OFFER EMAIL?
Ensure that your web host offers emailing features
like smart inbox, autoresponders, etc. This helps you
make your website fully interactive.
19
www.thecorporateservices.com 22

23. WHAT’S THERE TO ADD?
With time your website is going to evolve and you might
want to have more functionalities than it currently does.
Opt for a web host that has a range of add ons like
social sharing, RSS feed, etc. to choose from and allows
you to install them easily on your website.
20
www.thecorporateservices.com 23

24. CAN IT FLEX?
Your website resource needs might change with time and
your plan should be able to cater to them. Look for a web
host that lets you scale resources up or down easily; or
upgrade from one hosting plan to another. Changing hosts
isn’t a good idea as your website could incur content loss
and will be at the risk of being hacked.
21
www.thecorporateservices.com 24

25. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
One of the prime factors that affect your hosting decision is
the pricing. Web hosts may charge you according to the
resources your website utilizes or the plan you sign up for,
on a periodic basis. Spend some time to research and
compare hosting plans offered by different web hosts, and
pick the one that suits your hosting budget.
22

26. Even though the offer of unlimited resources might seem alluring, your website isn’t going to need any more than
1GB disk space to run efficiently; unless you are planning to make it the next YouTube!
And lastly…
Oversold Services.
