Web hosting can broadly be defined as a service
that allows one to upload and store a
site's HTML documents and related
files on a web server. This makes files
available on the World Wide Web for popular
consumption of the surfers. The detailed
offers providing storage, connectivity
and services are known as web hosting
plans. A dependable web hosting company
must have Redundancy (multiple connections
to the net), Reliability (uptime measured
in percentage), Availability (handling
peak period traffic volume), suitable
Hardware (fast servers), Monitoring the
net and efficient Back-Up for contingency.
These are the basic hallmarks of an effective
web hosting company.
Apart from the above-mentioned must haves,
a hosting plan should include flexibility
in operating systems such as Linux, Windows,
and Unix, a considerable amount of storage
or disk space, data transfer or traffic,
e-mail with POP3, auto-responder, scripting
languages (PHP, JSP, ASP), CGI BIN, Front
Page, IP address, log files, secure server
(SSL), Real Audio/Video 8.0, Majordomo,
MySQL3.23.54a and a lot more. The package
can be made more attractive by attaching
a moderate price tag.
The performance of a web hosting company
can greatly increase if it can drastically
reduce the loading time of sites. This
can be solved by two or more redundant
fiber optic connections and loops. In this
web driven world, web hosting companies
compete with each other to travel the extra
mile and help out their clients with any
problem related to the uploading or CGI
scripts and also advises clients on using
the Front Page judiciously. An important
aspect of maintaining several or even one
particular busy website is that the script
and the illustrations of the site must
be continuously changed to save the site
from any kind of monotony or fatigue. Servers
with 70 GB Raid Disk Drive and 6 GB of
memory are of immense importance.
The capability of a web hosting company
can easily be judged on the basis of quick
resolution or recovery if downtime occurs.
An agile site host will ensure that the
site is back online after the minimum possible
time elapse. The majority of the web sites
hosted by the company should have a 100%
uptime performance. A state-of-the-art
data center with Cisco, Routers, firewalls,
connection to premium tier-1 Backbone providers
and connection with Genuity and Cable and
Wireless always gives the web hosting company
an edge because of its above average web
hosting services. FM-200 fire auppression,
multiple UPS systems, backup diesel generators,
backed up with 24/7/365 accessibility to
network operations staff and technicians
ensure great performance and smooth running
of the data center. However, in most cases
80% or more of the web hosts are just resellers,
and another 10% are just co-locating in
some other data center, without direct
physical access to the machines. This simply
would not work.
The control panel is one of the most important
components of a successful web hosting
company. It should be able to perform on
Windows, Linux and Unix platforms and allow
the client to add, remove and manage domain
names, subdomains, FTP accounts, email
accounts, mailing lists, auto responders,
e-mail aliases, MIME Types, Apache Indexes,
PHP / ASP configuration, MySQL, PostgreSQL
and MSSQL databases, SQL database users,
canceling and resuming subscriptions and
reporting trouble tickets from a single
interface. The pre-installed scripts and
Fantastico rev up the unmatched script
installation power. Most importantly it
has to be user friendly.
