In today’s society, with the Internet reaching almost every home and business, the number of people wanting to have a Website is dramtically increasing. The questions is - How do I get my site on the Internet? The answer is Web Hosting. Web Hosting by definition is a service that allows individuals and organisations to publish their website via the World Wide Web. There are many differnet types of Web Hosting, all with unique features and specifications. Shared Hosting is where your site resides on a section of a server that is conected to the Internet. This type of Hosting is most common amongst indivduals and Small to Medium Businesses (SME).

Virtual Private Servers (VPS) are partinitoned areas of a Dedicated Server that have similar capabilities as a Dedicated Server without the cost. This type of Hosting is more common for larger, more complex sites or where the customer needs a particular feature, such as a Control Panel. Finally there is Dedicated Servers. These are generally reserved for high traffic sites that require their own server to operate.

There are many options available to both individuals and organisations alike, and it can often be quite a daunting task to choose what type of Web Hosting is correct for you. If you are confused by the whole idea of Web Hosting, or would just like to discuss what options are available to you, Global Gold and their dedicated support team will be glad to assist.

“Our growth has been largely organic and based on the fact that we treat our customers the way we would like to be treated ourselves. As such “word of mouth recommendations” from thousands of satisfied customers has helped us to remain in our enviable position in an industry that likes to claim it is customer focused when in reality most web hosts are product focused.”

Apple’s iPhone 3G is not the only big story of the week, there is also the release of Global Gold’s virtual hosting offer, VM Hosting.  Many companies still do not realise how cost-effective and efficient virtual web solutions can be. There deliver the obvious pricing benefits compared to dedicated server but in performance terms they are hard to beat providing not only a natural upgrade path from a Virtual Private Server but also a means of enabling those companies who have dedicated servers which are clearly excessive to requirements. it is.

For some companies, a Dedicated Server appears too much of a leap from their existing Virtual Private Server (VPS). The need to increase reliability and performance is often outweighed by the rising cost of moving to a Dedicated Server. A Virtual Machine (VM) therefore, is a very effective alternative. VM Hosting is a very reliable and cost effective solution, that has the added benefit of being more environmentally friendly. A Virtual Machine would be an ideal solution for companies looking to update their old, out of date Dedicated Server equipment, as well as growing companies who want to expand their business without encompassing spiralling costs. With the same configuration and flexibility as a Dedicated Server, a VM is able to run just as smoothly on a Windows 2003 operating system as it is Redhat Linux, Redhat Fedora or Debian operating system.
