WHAT IS WEB HOSTING
SO OUR TODAY'S AGENDA FOR THE CLASS WOULD BE WHAT IS THE HOSTING ?
1)
How Do We Choose A Web
Hosting In Real Time .
2)
Types Of The Hosting Packages .
3) Connecting Domain With Hosting .
So this three topics step-by-step I am going to cover in our today's class so let's begin our topic so what is web hosting WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF THE HOSTING so you can say in simple terms the definition of a web hosting or in terms what is the hosting chains. you see to store files of our website to store content to store images to store videos or emails whatever we have so every domain name will require a space where it can store all the information so web hosting is nothing but a server where all the website files and information databases are going to be stored so that anytime in future if any user comes to the web site and try to access anything automatically the web hosting will provide that access to the user . IN other words if you think about this way I have purchased a SIM card and I have not purchased a mobile phone so what is the problem here . If I don't have a mobile phone the SIM card won't work . The SIM card is a number in the same way domain is also a nail . it's not going to be active immediately . it's a name so make it activate it to make it visible to public we have the concept of a hosting server . similar to we need a phone to actually put our sim card and make it activated so what are the different things we have to consider while we are buying our web hosting space . so here are the few things which you have to consider .
NUMBER one we have to look at the operating system whether you want a Linux web hosting server or Windows web hosting server now it is decided based on the type of project we are doing now for our project we are both most we will be working on WordPress . so if you see we are working on WordPress our goal would be to use Linux server only rather than Windows suffer . because Linux server has a very good support for WordPress and lot of plugins are already inbuilt so we prefer to use a Linux server rather than using the Windows .
WE will be preferring here to use the Linux server so here the first point we can say is that I would like to go with the Linux server so I will just highlight here that we will have two options one is the Linux and one would be your windows . so I would be preferring here to go with the windows with the linux server in terms of price also I will be saving a little bit of price as well because Windows Server are quite little bit expensive compared to the Linux server windows are expensive and Linux a bit lower cost then the second factor after to look at the storage space now this is actually a very straight forward aspect now let me give you a very simple example of a storage space so you can understand why do we need the storage space concept . so let's see the option . see when I talk about the storage space while you are buying an iPhone you will definitely look at the storage of the phone right . you will look at what is a requirement I have like is it 32gb or is it 64 GB or is it what kind of you know requirement right in the same way when we do a website we will look at this factor that what is the requirement of my space so you may say I just require you know like 20 MB or 50 MB and for your information any basic WordPress website will just will work perfectly even if you have 500 MB of space on your server .
BUT generally now a days we get GB of data so and it is pretty cheap comparative to other options .
SO this are some of the basic things which you have to consider while you are buying the web hosting . so let me just revise again when you look at the linux server . linux or windows I would say Linux then look at the space you require. Like GB10 GB20 as per your requirement and the project and you will look at the aspect of bandwidth of the particular server which you are buying of the host in your buying and also would be the aspect of number of databases and one more important point which I have not mentioned in the slide in some websites some hosting provider they also provide free email ids also so in case of Big Rock they provide free email ids which very good idea so that you can have a company email as some other companies give you email on a separate price. so that also factor please consider when you are looking for email . looking for hosting check whether the company will provide the hosting as well or not . so these are the basics so now we want to understand HOW MANY TYPES OF HOSTINGS we have in real time so if you see in real time perspective .
THERE ARE FIVE TYPES OF HOSTING and out of this five EPS of hosting we only use the top four the last one is not really for small companies the last one is used by extremely large corporate companies and big companies will be going with this . last one will come to that point . as we spoke it . so first what is shared hosting and how do we define shared hosting . now let's say if you have experience if you know your student life you already know that if you take in a college or any particular place we have a very big space and which is divided in like a bits point of view like one big room is given between shared between 20 or 30 people okay if it is a paid hostel then it will be very low cost for you to say right . so here is the first concept shared hosting means on a single server on a single machine on a single server rack hundreds and thousands of web sites are created as accounts separate accounts virtual accounts and they are sold to each person separately so here in shared hosting the power is very less you are not going to have the complete power and peace and the features and visibility you will have a very less power in this shared hosting . but still if you have least requirement you can go with the shared hosting and also most of the times here streams won't work if you are getting suddenly some thousands of users on your website. the sheer hosting get automatically suspended due to using too many resources on the server but for a normal website if you are a small company and you are looking just a way to you know stock your business and want to slowly grow your business then generally you can go with the share hosting no problem whatsoever so first fun multiple sites with thousands of sites should be there and what could be unsuitable as I said for small businesses and it will have very limited access to the site meaning at a given moment of time 100 or 200 people can only access your site if it increases to a higher number then the site will become very slow and it will become very very slow further users itself and many times it will not even load as well and that's the reason the price is also extremely cheap in some companies they provide for 1,000 rupees so if you convert 1000 rupees it would be hardly a $15 or so it's very very cheap for a year $15 per year not per month so it's extremely cheap in terms of for buying this packages so shared hosting is the first kind of hosting where in we are going to buy a server by a small part on a server where in we are going to get the access to that server again in this we have single website hosting multiple web site hosting that I will show you in the practical concept now moving on to the next option virtual private server now let's assume that's a picture I have given there and you will give you an example let's assume that we have like five or six friendstogether and we are you know we are working in the same company at that moment we won't want to be staying in a hostel why because if I am paying some extra amount to the hostel instead of you know paying to the hostel directly what I can do is I can able to expense together has collaborated and they said ok we will take a private space or aapartment or something and we'll share between us so that we have the privacy we have that you know control on the space and we are completely not under anyone so that means this friends together have joined and they have taken yeah apartment similarly virtual private server means limited websites on single server where each account will get separate virtual server virtual machine meaning let's see in this kind of apartment or something each of the person is sharing you will get a separate private private place for him the specific room for him so that he can you know keep everything himself most of the things private in the same way in virtual private server each company will get their own private space on the server and which will not be shared with anyone at all the power is also unique to them as well and in this case what happens is it suitable for midsize and even if you are doing the blogging with some lakhs of users every month you have to go with what shall profit server for your information the trainings is also on virtual server that's the reason it will not hang so much or it's not so you know slow in the beginning when I was on shared hosting website our website you should hang a lot and it was very very slow so we have shifted to the virtual private server now next point here we have to remember is it can support how many users it can support in general most of the virtual VPS conflict again depending on configuration price will change.
so it will be somewhere around fifty thousand which today to file act but they also virtual private server can handle and this is the files range somewhere around two thousand dollars two hundred rupees two thousand rupees per month which is approximately may be $20 or $25 per month not per year for a month but here again the price will depend on space memory and process in the practical level when I show you this process completion of this points I will show you that aspect as well next is a dedicated server simple I have got I want I let's say I have a family so I will not stay in a hostel I will not share with friends for someone.
BUT I need a separate home or a house for my family so in that case
it's nothing but dedicated server so in general in a dedicated server one
company buy the entire server rack where they have complete authority on that
server segment and they can do whatever they want whatever they want to host in
terms of under legal obligation little conditions they have to follow but they will
be completely owned on this it is very very powerful and used by big portals
which has very heavy traffic and it is very very expensive somewhere around
4000 rupees per month.
WHICH is like again you see the prices going higher and higher fifty dollars it will cost you approximately I'm telling you for having one to buy dedicated server and that is again a monthly rising structure so dedicated server also is used and we can easily able to have minimum I would say not and dedicated server depending on configuration more than one lakh user scan easily access without any down time without any problem without any lag in the speed easily that can be maintained. now one question many students are sir what is the difference between VPS and dedicated server.
so what I said VPS is something
where even there are some other companies on the same server but in dedicated
there are no other companies you are the only company which is how to hosting
that server which is the owner of that server so you get complete authority and
complete private segment on the server so for large companies this is required
and now moving to the next generation of hosting which is cloud hosting now a
good example of cloud hosting I have shown here and a hotel taj mahal hotel
because basically it's a big hotel a five-star hotel so now the idea is simple
if suppose I am getting final say five guests for some kind of meeting so I will
book five rooms for them now suddenly you know two more guests came in and they
have you know in the last minute or last hour they have called meand say we are
also planning to come soI can call I can speak to the hotel authorities and I
can say I want extra two room if available they will provide me and if I three
two people are not coming and there is a policy of cancellation.
THEN automatically I will speak with them
and cancel the extra two which means I can in term increase or anytime decrease
and see that entire space is not used by one or two people but any person come
in and he will go out . I said guess he will be there right so in cloud hosting
it is a virtual environment for our site on a server where everything is
customiz able everything is completely adjustable you can change the parameters
you can change everything as per your choice and requirement whereas in shared
hosting in the VPS hosting and dedicated hosting almost all factors are tied up
or month basis meaning today you are using twentyfive dollar package per month
you want to upgrade to fifty dollars then the moment you upgrade to fifty
dollars you have to pay for them even if your requirement of upgrade was one
day but you have to pay for entire month but in cloud hosting it is not like
that you can increase your power for one day you can buy a few hours you want
more computing speed you can actually do a lot of flexibility is there in cloud
hosting so we can use that option / very nowadays large companies and acts and
all they are using cloud environment only because of this flexibility and it is
fast you know fastest way to implement the application big companies are also
using the cloud hosting itself ok now here is the problem with cloud hosting a
person without any background or without any basic.
HE will struggle a little bit to understand the settings and some
certain backing functionalities because it's not immediate and not you know out-of-the-box
implementations sometimes some coding is also some configurationis required
which has to be taken care by you and then the price is also pretty cheap $5.00
per month is the startin gprice but see I am talking about the basic digital ocean
is offering at five dollars per month but there are you see some lakhs and
crores of rupees contracts are also there for cloud hosting so it's not just
you know if one size fits all no every client will have different requirement
and crowd will provide that specific requirement for that customer and that
consumer so that is a option and last one is actually called as data center
hosting now data center hosting is very simple you see it's a very big server
ok very huge capacity huge availability but only one company will be using the
entire facility of the computing power example of this house actually this is
the house of richest man in India so this entire house ok one family is living
in that house right it's 27 floors or something but this is the entire house
one family is living.
LIKE this you have a big mansions and all that is a data center right so
data center is basically a collection of servers connected together on a very
big server so they're all interconnected servers will be there and if you
Google you can just right now google it after this session you can check type
Google Data Center Facebook data center you will be surprised to see howmany
racks of main frames are connected how many servers will be there it's amazing
so it's not at all for us it's basically for extremely large corporate corporations
banking companies and many many big corporates only are going to use the data
center hosting so it will cost huge amount of money it's not like you know a
small company when they won't even have a fixed price for that depending on the
customer requirement and all the cost will be extremely extremely high so this
are the five types.
LET me go back to this to my slide and let me revise the discussion
again so we have totally five types of hosting share hosting is a good option
for small companies to get quickly get an you know your site up quickly virtual
private server is useful for those companies who have little bit of more users
like maybe 1000 per day 10,000 per day 50,000 per day 1 lakh per day if there
is a range of users you are expecting them to get better to go with VPS and
then dedicated hosting is useful for who I am getting lakhs of visitors on a
daily basis and cloud hosting can be used by small or big companies and pay as
you use the service and then data center hosting is not at all for normal
companies it's only per extremely extremely big company so this are the types
of hosting and base should be by what kind of hosting what are the features
available so here is the options I have given if you're planning for hosting go
with big rock my personally prefer Big Rock not GoDaddy. good idea so one of
the very bad company in terms of hosting and don't mind they have a lot of bad
policies I used to host on GoDaddy which has shifted to Big Rock itself. so Big
Rock is one of the best in shared and then Hostgator also offers lot of good
packages and Even then in VPS we are actually on earlier.
WE were on GoDaddy now we are on known host
server which is a very good hosting provider cyclone is also very good and in
motion hosting and if you want dedicated then no he will provide you that
blowers will provide you that and also one third company I pay and if you're
planning for cloud then you can buy digital ocean. you can buy from Amazon Web
Services or you can buy from liquid remember Amazon Web Services is something
which is used by lot of large corporate companies in fact as per buying recently
I was reading one answer we're even Netflix is also available on Amazon Web Services
for the most of the content of Netflix is also there on Amazon Web Services
it's a pretty building pass and if you another example I will give you a Microsoft
have mattress of as you is that you are a Microsoft as you on that cloud
hosting flip card is running.
SO these are very very big companies who run
on right now they are working and they are running their bigs you know huge
amount of databases and applications on this cloud services it's happened the
leader of the crowd industry is Amazon Web Services so this are the basic
pattern so now let's go back to the concept of practically. Sir how would I buy
a domain name so very simple I will explain you in a step-by-step process so
please go to Bigrock.in . if you are in India or BigRock.com if you are from US
or any other country according to your target country also there will be
certain hosting providers you can buy from your local companies also and one
more small point of note here if you buy hosting from your country where the
data center is available in that country that hosting will be a bit faster than
someone buying from USA meaning if I buy from India a hosting server from India
it will be quick because of the distance lack will not be there whereas if I
buy from U.S there will be a very small very small lack of will be there
between the processing point okay so now let me show you how do we do the
shopping so let's go to hosting we have Linux and we have windows so we can
select it none see there are different packages again so what about this
packages are what exactly they do what is the what is the purpose of this
package if you ask me the simple thing is this packages which you are right now
seeing here okay this is Linux for single website and there are multiple
packages again in that let's see what are the packages so they offer they are
offering for linux hosting see here starter package advanced package and profit's
pricing if you are taking per year basis one $49 per 149 rupees per month and
they give you 20 GB space one website only we can launch one website 20 GB 100
GB which is pretty good and free SSL that's a great thing getting a free SSL
for the first year is actually very profitable and five emails but the server
is on is in U.S . but if you click on India here then the price will change you
will get the server location change switch to India now stay okay.
SO here is the price structure so it has increased by around 50 rupees
if you take from India and then hosting one website advance means unmetered
space means more you know here we have a counting limit but here there will be
unmetered means you will have a huge amount of space will be given to you and
then same transfers see almost everything is same and unlimited image is a good
feature here but this price is somewhere around $2.99 per month and pro and
here is what unlimited website see unlimited website means if I am a blogger I
may launch one two three four ten websites . rather than buying four separate
every domain every website I want to buy separately and a hosting account
instead of that some companies use unlimited hosting where in we give all that
results in one package and we can launch multiple websites from a single
hosting server similarly if you see here we have also got the cloud hosting
mention edhere now one more thing is also there if you just look at this option
we also have some specialized hosting like WordPress hosting which is specially
developed for WordPress and they will have more features and more it will be costly
but at the same time it will be more powerful and most effective for WordPress
but I would say if you are having budget issue I will ask you to go with the
next share hosting but if you have no problem with budget then see here is the
pricing structure for that so if you go with the lite version you can only host
one WordPress.
WEBSITE which is pretty bad okay one WordPress to WordPress three WordPress five WordPress but they will be little bit faster so only you know the GB of RAM and all are given that will be bit faster but these also on the higher side itself similarly we can by CMS hosting we can buy ecommerce hosting as well alright so again one more thing you see here some companies who are in the freelancing business they will buy reseller hosting they buy a package from this company and they will resell to their clients that also is a business model similarly you can see here cloud hosting again for business and for personal use packages and then you have VPS hosting again packages for VPS see and here is surprising if you take India surprise in the USA sometimes and here is the pricing minimum starting at 650 per month. where you get to course and you get 2gb RAM and 20 GB SSD card and then 1tb of transfer which is pretty good number so like this we can able to find out lot of information lot of data just from our hosting provider but I will suggest you you have to check with them and you know ask some questions and clarify your any doubts you get in the process you have to clarify similarly we have dedicated hosting also we can able to buy you can look at this option this is a very very expensive pricing structure but it Akkadian hosting all right so this is how we can able to see the options so now if you say so how do buy and how do I connect my domain name with hosting so first you go to shared hosting and select the option of i want to buy select the plan do you have a domain name yes you have if you don't have you have to buy okay.
so I will say ABCD.com continue we have to remove this useless things we don't want that see yeah these are all unnecessary things please remove them okay just I want one man package for so-and-so option per year okay if you have a coupon code add a coupon code you can get this form for coupon code just type in Google line big rock coupon codes you get a lot of website you can add coupon and then in India we have this extra taxation also so overall the piles is somewhere around 200 or 1100 per year it is per year price not per month it is a parallel price which is pretty chill and you can just say next and sign in and make a payment and then I become a proud owner of ABCD.com hosting not domain name I am not the owner of domain name I am only buying the hosting but anyway I cannot launch also because I am NOT the owner of the so I have to use the domain name which I have as a reference while booking the domain option so this is the basic structure which we have to follow while working in this concept so now I want to show you once I buy what I am going to do so let me login and this is called as the connection of domain with hosting see this so I am now as you may have bought the domain name from Big Rock and hosting from some other company so remember this point then I buy the domain so you can just understand what I'm trying to say ok so let's say if you have bought for example a domain from Big Rock okay and then you have bought hosting from my company say my company you bought hosting then when you buy hosting from my company I will provide you something called as an s-1 this are addresses of my server and nh-2 all you have to do is in this bigrock server in domain name in the domain name you have to enter these two details and see as we are doing here then these two with this domain and hosting are getting connected with the concept of something called as NS 1 + NH 2 or name servers so let me show you an example if I want to I have lot of domains with me so let's say I want to connect to this domain.
so star event planner.in okay here is option main server
so click on name service you can give an s-1 you can give so this is provided
by your hosting company when you buy the hosting package they will only give
you the NS 1 and NH2 now if you are getting any confusion you can also take
help of this hosting or domain company they will also guide you to do this and
also this process doesn't apply if domain and hosting are in the same company
they are automatically connected by their internal systems itself this is how
we work with the concept of hosting so I hope you have pretty clear about the concept
of HOW MANY TYPES OF HOSTING are there and how do we connect our domain and hosting.
