CATEGORIES
LOTS of choices. Four general categories:
Free:
Almost never use for real/business sites. OK for hobby or fan sites I guess.
Examples: Yahoo Geocities, Tripod, etc.
ISP:
When you get an Internet siteground renewal discount connection, from AOL
to Earthlink to MCI et al, usually comes with 5-10MB of free file space in which
you can build Web sites
Inexpensive:
$5-$10/month hosts. Typically more Web services, such as CGI/script space.
Also tend to come with more pre-installed scripts/programs you can use.
DEDICATED HOSTING
Shared/co-hosted server:
The typical route in which your site is hosted along with many others on a server.
That is all transparent to user though.
For instance, 50 or 100 different domains might all be on one physical machine,
but to the user they are just going to www.mysite.com or www.thepage.com
regardless the best spinner discount of whether they are on the same server.
Generally because of security policies your ability to install original programs et
al is limited. You also do not have access to server settings, etc.
Dedicated server:
MOST expensive Web hosting option.
Co-location:
Use your own Web machine but have it located at a Web host's facilities using
their network infrastructure.
Less expensive than a 'dedicated server', basically you are paying for the same
network and support costs as above without paying rent on the machine
Streaming Media:
Many hosts throw in basic streaming media for free, although your account may not have space of
the video files.
The better streaming modes such as true RealVideo serving tend to be bundled into the mid-range
price plans.
One of the common reasons people upgrade from a basic Web host plan.
Traffic reports:
Most major Web hosts include at least basic reports generated by programs such as Webtrends.
Most plans above the basic level allow you access (to download or process yourself) to the raw log
files that record your site's traffic.
Secure Server:
SSL connections are typically included in mid-range and e-commerce plans.
Forums:
Many hosts have forum software pre-installed so that you can easily add forums to your web
site.
Some are free and some are add-on costs to hosting plan
ASP/CF:
Active Server Pages are usually standard on any Windows NT-based Web server, and support
for 'Frontpage extensions" are common on many Unix machines.
Some NT hosts support Cold Fusion. Both run on Unix as well but are less commonly supported.
ASP is typically free; CF is usually part of a mid-range price plan.
Database:
The 'open source' solutions are often free (MySQL, etc.), while the commercial databases (from
Access to SQL Server to Oracle) are usually extra charges, and sometimes substantially so.
.com
.cm
.biz
.net
.us (country code exentions)
.edu
.gov
.info
Domain names are usually registered for a minimum of one year, but
usually you can register your domain name for longer than that.
Typically, the longer the contract, the cheaper the domain name
When you are browsing hosting plans, it will ask you to choose an operating system.
On GoDaddy for example, it will ask you to choose between Linux or Windows.
This does not mean the operating system of your local computer.
This refers to the operating system of the server.
The default is Linux, which is typically what you want.
If you get into ASP.NET development, you will probably want Windows.
You can usually find coupon codes when buying web hosting.
Google something like coupon code GoDaddy and you will find various discounts.
In the end, hosting a site for a year will typically range from $45-$65.
