Hosting (also known as Web site hosting or Web hosting) is the business of housing, serving and maintaining files for one or more Web sites, and providing Internet access (bandwidth). Hosting provides individuals or organizations with the systems to store information, images, video, or other content accessible to users of the Web. In a sense, you rent space on a computer to hold your Web site.

Your host, the computer where your Web site files are stored, assigns an address (DNS) for your files to your domain name so that anyone can find your Web site on the Internet by typing your domain name.

When you sign up for a hosting account, you get disk space (to hold your files), bandwidth allotment(amount of traffic allowed to and from your site), a CGI din(where forms and stuff are processed), webmail and additional features.

A little More About Bandwidth - For a webmaster, bandwidth is the measurement of data that is sent from your web host's server down to the visitors computer. If you have a lot of visitors and they all download large files from you, then you will need a great amount of bandwidth. Many webmasters do not plan for the future and inadvertently have their web sites shut down in the middle of the month because their web site was much more popular than they ever expected. To prevent this from happening to you, carefully measure your bandwidth usage and plan ahead!

There are basically 3 popular types of hosting environments: They include shared, virtual private, and dedicated hosting. There are also 2 subsections of these environments, they include managed and unmanaged. Please see the basic definitions below.

• Shared Hosting - This type of hosting places your project on a server (online computer) with up to 500 other projects. This is the most affordable and popular type of hosting. The advantage obvious is cost. The disadvantage is that because so many people are using that server(computer) at one time, if anything goes wrong with any of the accounts, there is a chance that it will affect your project.
  
  While a shared server is perfect for 80% of the businesses on the internet, you separate yourself by applying a more personal touch to your account if you consider an upgrade. Shared hosting comes either managed, or unmanaged. Affordable web Sites provides managed hosting.
  
  
• Virtual Private Hosting - Affordable Virtual Private Servers bridge the gap between Shared and Dedicated Hosting. In order to meet the demands of an ever changing market place Affordable VPS plans are customizable in a way that few can match. Customers have the ability to change their plan at the “feature level”, by requesting upgrades or downgrades of CPU’s, RAM, or disk space as needed. The value of this is that a customer only pays for what they need and can grow or shrink easily with the needs of their business or project.
  
  VPS Hosting plans allow you to run the same applications you would in a dedicated environment, with the added ability to adjust the specific resource features of your package for a value price. Dollar for dollar these solutions are competitive and will give customers the flexibility and control you just don’t get with other hosting options.
  
  This type of hosting places your project on a server (online computer) with less projects. The amount of projects is usually no more than 50. The advantage is reliability, flexibility and greater support. The disadvantage is that it is a little more.
  
  
• Dedicated Hosting - This type of hosting places your project only your project on a server (online computer). The advantage is reliability, flexibility and greater support. The disadvantage is that it is a little more. Only 5% of the projects online today need a dedicated server. Companies that usually have a dedicated server include: Ford, GMC, Major banks, Walmart, etc.
  
  Our Dedicated Servers are more than just a server, they are a fully managed solution designed to take your business to the next level.
