Shared Hosting Services- A Boon To The Techno Savvy Enterprises
The advent of technological innovations and globalization demands the enterprises provide the best of services to their clientele. In a techno savvy business environment, every project undertaken is dependent on the data and information across a wide network spanning geographical boundaries. Thus, an effective method would then be the efficient management of the data centers and the web hosting services.
Further, management and maintenance of data centers and providing for world-class IT infrastructure in the data centers to meet the competitive world, tends to increase the financial load on the enterprises. The other option available to the enterprises is then to partner with existing data centers and make use of their web hosting services.
Most of the leading service providers have Internet data centers with good infrastructure, which would meet the world-class standards. With such an infrastructure, expert team and a 24/7 service, these data centers are ready to provide dedicated hosting, shared hosting services, firewall, backup solutions as well as colocation services for their clienteles.
Shared hosting or virtual hosting as it is commonly known, is a type of web hosting wherein a single physical server hosts a similar web server more than once. In other words, one server tends to host many websites at the same time. The server resources, such as network connection and disk space, are shared between the websites. This brings down the server maintenance and management costs as it is being shared by a number of individuals, and works out as the best option for clients not ready for dedicated servers or virtual private servers.
However, the shared hosting offered by data centers doesn’t offer the flexibility of dedicated servers, as this demands a good level of system administration, but the responsibility of the service providers in either case remains the same with installation, technical support and management. Most of the data centers operating on a global level have a number of shared hosting services basically catering to the small and medium business enterprises as well as to large Corporates, which make use of additional data centers for their day-to-day functioning.
With organizations, trying to stay ahead in the competition, e-commerce and web hosting has become the trend. In the bargain, more and more enterprises look forward to have their footprint on the World Wide Web. This trend has seen many enterprises opt for the Datacenter managed shared hosting services which besides bring down the costs of maintenance and backups provides the enterprises the freedom to concentrate on website designing and other core issues.
