More About Web Hosting Differences

A few Gnomies have been writing me ever since I posted my article about Differences in the Web hosting world as it relates to the different plan options you have to choose from. Here's one of those messages:

Hi Mitch, great article but where are the meat and potatoes? I want toknow more about what makes these all different and how to choose theright one. I'm new to the web hosting world so could you help me?

I did take a look back at that article, and after taking a secondglance over it I do realize there is more to be said. Lots more. So Ihave decided over the next three days I will try my best to explain inmore depth what is really behind virtual, re seller and dedicated Webhosting.

Virtual Web hosting(sometimes known as shared Web hosting) is what ninety percent of theInternet is run under. These smaller Web hosting accounts are oftensold by Web hosts most often because they are low in price and easy tomanage. In size they can range from 5 GB of space all the way up to 50GB or more. These are just facts though, what really is a virtual Webhosting server?

Well, think of that pumpkin pie you had on Thanksgiving. Chances areyou did not eat it all by yourself, and if you did, shame on you! Youcut the pumpkin pie into separate but equal pieces. This way everybodywho wanted some, got some. Think of virtual Web hosting the same way.Instead of having a pie, you have a Web hosting server.The server's bandwidth and disc space is divided up, and your Web hostssells you one of those divided pieces of proverbial Web hosting pie.

What happens when a Web host runs out of room on the server? Thesame thing that would happen to the pumpkin pie, well sort of. Insteadof cooking up a new pie, the Web hostpurchases a new Web hosting server and the process starts up again. Theserver is divided up, people buy the pieces, so on and so forth.

Now that you understand where your virtual Web hosting account comesfrom, what makes it different from the rest? Well, both dedicated andreseller accounts come with more options. I will go deeper into thoselater. Also they are split up, much like the pumpkin pie above. Thedifference is they are split up into bigger pieces.

What should your virtual Web hosting account come with? Many Webhost pack on a list of extra features that would probably make yourhead spin. The two most important things you should look at though are bandwidth and disc space.Many of the other features you receive are pretty standard no materwhich Web host you decide to go with. Most often, the Web host willhave a table or chart for you to look at so you can see the advantagesof their different Web hosting plans.

Is virtual Web hosting the Web hosting for you? More than likely itis. As I said before, ninety percent of the Internet today is made upof virtual Web hosting accounts. If you just want to put up a standardWeb page, this is the plan for you.

Tomorrow I will take a look at the world of reseller Web hosting,and explain the truth behind all the marketing hype you read on mostWeb hosts' Web sites.
