Some of other kind of hosting is discussed below; the source may be taken from other website.
SHARED WEB HOSTING:
Shared web hosting is the most common type of web hosting, and is also the easiest to start out on. Shared hosting is a service where one server is shared between many customers. This typically offers the following advantages and disadvantages:
· It's cheaper – you don't need to pay for the whole server upfront.
· It's easier to use – the server is preconfigured with the most popular options and your hosting company will take care of any maintenance and security updates for you.
· You share the server resources with your neighbors – if one site becomes really busy it may affect (and slow down) all other sites on that server.
· It can be less flexible – like living in a shared apartment block your neighbors need to be considered. Similar to exclusions on keeping pets or throwing wild parties (but less fun), you probably won't be able to block a specific port or modify a core component.
Because shared web hosting is the most common type of web hosting, most hosting companies simply refer to it as web hosting or website hosting. Mid phase shared web hosting comes with the most preferred operating system: Linux website hosting.
DEDICATED HOSTING:
Dedicated hosting (also called virtual hosting), a newer form of hosting, allocates a specific web server for use by only one client, for one site or multiple web sites. Dedicated hosting enables a customer to host multiple sites from one server. The advantages for the customer include more flexibility, software configuration options, capability to handle greater site traffic, and more scalable bandwidth than available with shared hosting solutions. These factors are especially important to high-traffic sites. In some cases clients are allowed root-level directory access.
CO-LOCATION HOSTING:
In co-location hosting the client house its web server within a web host provider's secure data center or facility. This form of hosting is popular with small- to large-sized businesses that want control over their web servers within a 24/7 secure environment connected through a major backbone provider without having the infrastructure costs, security issues, or maintenance costs for a data center. Many web hosts that provide co-location services are moving toward providing dedicated and applications hosting services.
RESELLER HOSTING:
In reseller hosting a web host provides storage at a discount to web consultants (including web designers, developers, or integration firms), who then resell the storage as a service or add-on to complement their other range of services, which might include web site design or programming. Reseller accounts provide the reseller with a virtual hosting package, with the incremental spacing provided for the purpose of reselling to clients at a markup. This type of plan is especially beneficial to consultants who do not have to be concerned with physically maintaining the hardware or the network (unless a web site goes down). The reselling costs are quite marginal; usually assigned to price breaks tied to the number of hosting accounts brought in by the reseller. Reseller plans can be organized in a wide range of different business models. Most common is for resellers to receive a 50 percent discount on the price of a hosting account, that the reseller then sells to the client.
TEMPLATE HOSTING:
Template hosting is a newer form of hosting that involves a client creating its web site through a web browser using standard templates available from the template hosting web site. Typically, this service is lower in cost than all other hosting plans, although the structured options available to the client limit the design and functional options available. Some plans include free hosting in return for agreeing to the dynamic placement of third-party ads, template hosting logo, or co-branding of content on a web site. The client typically is limited to using an extension of the web host's address instead of its own unique domain name address, which usually is not what businesses want when pursuing a professional image and long-term web presence.
SPECIALIZED PLATFORM HOSTING:
Often a client will require a specific platform for dynamic pages to be generated, or to support a specific technology. Some of the most sought-after web hosts provide support for Java Server Pages (JSP) and servlets, which can operate on most standard web server operating system platforms (UNIX, NT/2000, Solaris, AIX, and so on). Java Server Pages can consist of multiple servers, which greatly extends the capabilities of a web server. Many web hosts now are becoming knowledgeable about the speed and reliability advantages provided by JSP. Server appliances such as Intel's family of Net Structure appliance units and Cobalt are being used to power niche functions, similar to slimmed-down servers. These and other technologies are further discussed in Chapter 9. These technologies include, but are by no means limited to thefollowing:
· ASP (Active Server Pages)
· JSP (Java Server Pages) and Java servlets
· SSI (Server Side Includes)
· ColdFusion
· PHP
APPLICATION HOSTING:
Application hosting (also called Application Service Providers or ASP) involves the managed hosting of software services and is popular with small- to medium-sized businesses that want controlled hosting of enterprise software applications (such as word processing, e-mail, groupware, accounting, ERP, and more) securely through the Internet or a VPN. In this way, for a set monthly rental fee, a company can run applications through a web browser and will always be current with the latest software updates. Companies can provide enterprise applications for all of their employees without being concerned with providing in-house installation, technical support, ongoing training, or site licensing software issues. ASPs usually charge a monthly rental fee that can range widely, and can be based on individual employee usage ($1 per use) or a per-month ($25 to $5,000) model. A lot will depend on the level of complexity for the application that is hosted. There also usually is a setup fee.
MANAGED-SERVICES HOSTING:
Managed-services hosting is the management of services that ensure that a web site (or host) is performing effectively. This is a relatively new form of hosting; services can include firewall security, real-time server monitoring, e-commerce services, and content delivery management, typically in partnership with infrastructure providers. San Francisco-based host Xuma (www.xuma.com) offers e-commerce services that integrate auction bots, tax management, and processing of credit card transactions. One client, CornerHardware.com, was brought online through Xuma's services two months ahead of schedule.
HIGH-SCALABILITY HOSTING:
In the upper tier of hosting plans, a client will require a highly scalable environment to respond to rapidly changing site traffic needs. According to analyst Jeanne Schaaf at Forrester Research, revenues in this area are expected to rise by more than 1,000 percent, to $10.9 billion for fully-managed, outsourced servers and $6.8 billion for high-end custom web hosting services.
