Web Hosting &
Domains
|
A web hosting service is a
type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and
organizations to provide their own website accessible via
the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide
space on a server they own for use by their clients as well
as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data
center. |

A dedicated hosting service,
dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of
Internet hosting where the client leases an entire server
not shared with anyone. This is more flexible than shared
hosting, as organizations have full control over the
server(s), including choice of operating system, hardware,
etc. Server administration can usually be provided by the
hosting company as an add-on service. In some cases a
dedicated server can offer less overhead and a larger return
on investment. Dedicated servers are most often housed in
data centers, similar to co-location facilities, providing
redundant power sources and HVAC systems. In contrast to
co-location, the server hardware is owned by the provider and
in some cases they will provide support for your operating
system or applications. |

Co-location &
Enterprise |
A co-location centre ("co-lo") or carrier hotel is a type of
data center where multiple customers locate network, server
and storage gear and interconnect to a variety of
telecommunications and other network service provider(s)
with a minimum of cost and complexity.
Increasingly organizations are recognizing the benefits of
co-locating their mission-critical equipment within a data
centre. Co-location is becoming popular because of the time
and cost savings a company can realize as result of using
shared data centre infrastructure. With IT and
communications facilities in safe, secure hands,
telecommunications, internet, ASP and content providers, as
well as enterprises, enjoy less latency and the freedom to
focus on their core business.
Additionally, customers reduce their traffic back-haul costs
and free up their internal networks for other uses.
Moreover, by outsourcing network traffic to a co-location
service provider with greater bandwidth capacity, web site
access speeds should improve considerably. |
