You know that you want to set up a website, you already have the domain name, and now it is time for you to choose the web hosting.

When deciding on a web hosting provider, you have two options to choose from in terms of operating platforms and the type of scripting language used.

Operating platforms come in two versions—the Windows and the Linux. As the name suggests, the Windows platform was designed to work on a Windows computing machine. On the other hand, Linux was designed especially for web server applications.

As for the scripting languages, they come in PHP, Perl, or ASP. PHP means hypertext preprocessor while ASP means active server pages. The platform is dependent on the scripting language you will use. Windows uses ASP while Linux uses the Perl or PHP scripting languages. Most web hosting companies provide both Windows and Linux platforms to their subscribers.

It is up to you what kind of web hosting you want. But if you have a business website, it is best to consult a web developer on the matter so that your corporate website will look trustworthy.

Functions of Web Hosting

We all know, at least those who use the internet, what a website is but not too many of us know about web hosting and much less, web hosting providers. Now, here are some information about web hosting.

A website can only be online if you have it hosted with a web host provider. That is because websites are like real estate property in the virtual world. To have a site that is up and running means that you would need an address and a platform on which to build it. On the other hand, web hosting providers are like the real estate agents that provide you with a place to stay.

The usual set up is that the web space is leased or rented, for a specific period of time, like yearly, quarterly or monthly basis, and renewable.

The server that is used by providers is a powerful and sophisticated computer system that runs on specialized high-speed connections. They have an intricate firewall protection to protect all its subscribers. If you look into what a provider can give you, you will find out that they have packages that include website storage on the host server and email services as well as domain registration and auto-responders. If you need shopping cart software or access to add-on software applications on your website, they can also add it for you.

Okay, so I bought another domain…again! I already told myself that I have enough domains already. But what can I do? I am a certified domainaholic. So I now have more than 20 sites!

But this one just got me interested. This is going to be about cars. The name of the website is New Cars, Used Cars.

Honestly, I don’t know anymore how I am going to maintain all my sites. hahaha Just an addict you know. I bought it a couple of weeks ago from GoDaddy but up until now, I have not yet set it up. Tsk tsk. But I will have to because I really like it.

I am not very good in cars but I kind of like writing about them. So well, I hope I can maintain this and maybe eventually become an expert in cars. LOL
