Internet Domain Hosting

Internet domain hosting is an important part of the internet since it allows individuals with a low budget to setup and run their own website, without the need for large expensive servers that have to be hosted in a costly data centre rack. Internet domain hosting has been around since the beginning of the internet because people have needed a place where they are able to host their websites with ease, and in every case at least one domain is in use meaning that web hosting providers have to factor in the management of domains as well with their internet domain hosting packages. Internet domain hosting providers can now be found in large numbers, mainly down to the fact that the cost of setting up an internet domain hosting business, or in other words a ‘web hosting business’, are very low if you start out on a standard reseller web hosting package. When considering an web hosting provider that sells internet domain hosting packages, there are several factors that you need to consider; the main factor that you need to consider when looking for a web hosting package is your requirements - having a web hosting plan that doesn’t meet youe requirements is just going to be a waste of money. Although a majority of internet domain hosting providers are reputable and can provide good service, there are still some that are out there to scam users.

For those that don’t know, web hosting providers use powerful computers called servers to host their internet domain hosting clients on. Because servers are complicated machines, there are many terms that you may come across when searching for an internet domain hosting package which you may not know the exact meaning to, but in most cases are very important terms. These terms can include:

• bandwidth - this is the amount of data that can be transferred between your website and visitors’ computers in a set amount of time, which is normally a month, and is measured in gigabytes (GB)
• disk space - this is the amount of physical space that you can use on your web hosting account, and is normally the fixed limit that you can use on the hosting server’s hard drive
• RAID - this is a form of server backup which means that the hosting server has multiple hard drives to increase server reliability, thus ensuring that your internet domain hosting package will receive the highest amount of server uptime that is available.

Web hosting providers that don’t use high specification servers to host their internet domain hosting packages will most likely be a poor web hosting service, meaning that you should check out web hosting reviews and the specifications of the servers being used by a web hosting provider before committing to anything.
