John is very happy today, for the first time in his life he has
created his very own website. Now he is looking for a web host so
that he can put his identity on the net. Casually he asks his
friend Mac about it. Mac tells him that web-hosting directories are
the
best place to look for a web host. Getting curious John then
asks Mac what exactly a Web Hosting Directory is. Mac responds that
web hosting directories are a web hosting marketplace where
prospective hosts list their products, plans, prices and other
important information so that according to their requirements,
customers can choose a suitable plan. Along with the details, it
also contains web hosts' rankings. John is now extremely happy as
his dream is finally going to come to fruition. Like John, there
are many beginners who are in search of a reliable web host and
come across web hosting directories. Here a new question arises:
Are these web hosting directories really trustworthy sources for
novices like John? To find an answer it's very important to
understand the working of WHDs.
Laptop Battery Basically web-hosting directories are of two types: paid WHDs
and free WHDs. For paid directories, either web hosts pay a set
amount for placing their banners on the site, or they pay
commission if they get customers via that medium. On the other
hand, free WHDs like www.askwebhosting.com and www.hostbyte.com
etc. web hosts list their services without paying any fees.

Thinkpad Some people believe that paid WHDs are very easy to manipulate
as the ranking of web hosts can be changed in unfair ways. Others
have the view that WHDs that are actually free reflect the true
ranking of web hosts companies. Whatever the case may be, paid or
free, people should believe the web hosts rankings only if they are
based completely on votes of customers who have actually given
their remarks and have left their website address as well.
established web hosting provider sometimes hosts up to thousands of websites. For that reason, a web hosting company need many web servers (essentially, these are computers) to store the website. And all these web servers are connected to the Internet through high speed Internet connection and housed in a physical building called data center In order to guarantee all the web servers are safe, secure and fully operational all time, 7 environment with fire protection, virus detections, computer data backup, redundant power backup and complete disaster recovery capabilities.
Microsoft It is not possible for any web hosting company to have 100%
positive reviews. It is also observed that at times customers who
are satisfied with their web host forget to express their opinion
about that host. However, a biased customer who is not satisfied
with their web host does not forget to mention their opinion of
that web host. This implies that a negative review doesn't always
reflect the true picture of a web host company.
> Choosing a Web Hosting Plan Choosing a Web Hosting Plan Overview There are approximately 100 million Web sites on the Internet. They are "hosted" on computers (called web servers) all over the world. The web server (computer) where your Web site's information, photos, etc. reside, may be located in a home or office, but ideally, in a secure data center, and maintained by a "web host" (like WestHost). Web hosting clients simply upload their Web sites to either a shared web server (where many other clients are also hosting), or a dedicated web server (where the entire server is their own), which the web host maintains to ensure the Web site is always available, and can be accessed quickly (a fast download).
Laptop Computers No doubt web hosting directories are very useful if the newbie
like John wants to compare prices and features of different
companies. But, when it comes to choosing a web host he/she should
make an intelligent choice by referring to other resource sites
(forums etc.) as well.

Dedicated Server An advanced form of web hosting where the customer generally has complete control over the server. Dedicated Servers are typically housed in data centers. Dedicated servers may be compared to shared web hosting servers; where in shared hosting you find the web hosting company administering and control the server, a dedicated server is typically controlled by the server's owner and he or she controls which websites are hosted on the server.
