Website Hosting? What is it?
Every website needs hosting, but what exactly does hosting mean?
Websites are made from numerous files and folders that have their own computer language (for example, HTML or Cascading Style Sheets). Their purpose is to allow content to be accessed through the World Wide Web.
So where are the files and folders stored?
Every website that can be accessed through the internet is stored on a server.
A server can simply be described as a computer storage device (hard-drive) for storing website files and folders.
The act of storing a website on a server is termed hosting.
A web host is a company that provides space on their own server for storing a website – plus internet connectivity for allowing the website to be accessed via the World Wide Web.
Hosting is essential to a website because without hosting a website would have nowhere to be stored and therefore could not be accessed through the internet.
So what makes a good hosting service?
The server must be constantly connected to the internet to allow complete access to the website 24 hours a day.
It must have a connection capable of sending and receiving sufficient data at a sufficient rate.
The server must also have a backup in case of emergency. insilico’s TM servers boast redundant connections, which means that if the internet connection suddenly fails (for example, due to road works) another internet connection will immediately take its place.
insilico’s TM servers are also stored in a completely secure environment with diesel generators in case the power goes out.
This means that any website stored on the insilico TM server will remain operational at all times and will have exceptional speeds for users with high bandwidth connections.
Hosting your website with insilico TM will allow you to have email addresses with an extension of your domain name. For example, john@yourdomain.com or admin@yourdomain.com. This extra professionalism will truly impress your clients.
insilico’s TM hosting plans start at a very affordable $18.70 per month (incl. GST).
