Since servers run around the clock 24/7, so it allows users to view your web page by making it available all the time. So this answers the question of what is web hosting, but when one visits Go-daddy it shows different hosting types. what they mean and which one is right for you?
What are Go-Daddy Hosting Options?
There are four different hosting types offered by go-daddy each serving different target group.
These include:
We will explore each of these in detail in following section:
Shared Web Hosting
A shared web hosting is most common form of hosting available on the internet. In this format, you website will be placed on a web server alongwith numerous other member hosts/ sites. Each hosted site will share the resources of the computer/ server. Good web hosts take strict measures to ensure a satisfactory number of customers per server, which will result in good use of server power without down times. You will need to hire a designer/programmer to help you build the website. Scripts like WordPress can easily be custom installed in shared hosting.
Managed WordPress Hosting
Wordpress being the fastest growing open source format of web presence, ideally suited for bloggers, web designers, freelancers etc. WordPress control panel allows you to use pre-built templates/ themes and plugins to ensure a fast and professional web presence. However, it requires good computing knowledge and familiarity with WordPress environment to do it yourself. At some point you might need a programmer/ designer help. Still much better and cheaper than shared format in which you need to work from scratch.
Website Builder
Godaddy has developed and constantly improving it’s web based website maker software, this is a simple DIY website designer allows you to automate your website building in shortest possible time. This powerful application allows you to choose from hundreds of prebuilt site templates and easily make custom changes with ease. This option is best if you are short on money and seeking a way to build your website yourself or through friend with good computing knowledge. You will have a fully working website without hiring a web designer. Ideally for individuals and small business owners.
Virtual Private Servers
This is basically renting a portion of web server and claiming portion of machine resources such as processor, memory and disk space share which are guaranteed all the time. VPS is a advance format of shared hosting but in this environment you have total control of the machine (virtual). Ideally for large website or website with huge traffic. Virtual hosting is good when you anticipate that your website is growing and you will need more control on server in near future. In plain English, it is for advance users and should only be handled by professionals.
