Hello everyone!

This blog is about web hosting a internet service where people rent spaces/servers at hosting companies to create websites. This servers are placed in so called datacenters with high speed backbone connections, protected with various types of protection systems including redundant power, hvac, fire detection and other safety features. There are several types of webhosting: shared hosting (where users are usually placed on the same servers sharing same resources) – this is the most popular type of web hosting and also the cheapest. Reseller hosting where you can reseller hosting plans to your clients or customers. It is like having your own hosting company. Dedicated hosting is renting a dedicated servers with configured hardware. This type of hosting is the most expensive because you are not sharing any type of resources with anyone (maybe only the network link, but this also can be dedicated depending on the configuration). It is mostly used for high traffic websites or web services. Virtual private hosting (VPS) is like having a dedicated server for a very cheap price, but it is not true dedicated server (though you have your own dedicated resources) because you still share the same computer with others. Popular virtual environments are virtozzo, openvz, xen and others. Most hosts today have the LAMP stack on their servers. LAMP stands for Linux Apache MySQL PHP Platform and it is the most popular platform nowadays, because it is Free, Open-Source, highly secure and fast. Linux is the Operating system (CentOS, Debian, RedHat are the most popular) where Apache httpd (hypertext transfer protocol daemon) a web server, MySQL a relational database management system, PHP (HyperText Preprocessor). With these four wonderful software any type of website can be created. I have accounts with the most popular hosts and will review them and post coupons for discount on their web hosting plans.
