You want to create a new website for your company, so you have agreed with a designer and web developer to design and program your new website. But what’s the next step? . You have to make your site available on the Internet so that your customers can visit it at any time, so you will need a hosting company that will provide you with the appropriate hosting plan for your site.
In order to understand the meaning of web hosting, let’s talk a little about how websites work, and how they are connected to the Internet, before that, to emphasize the basis of the Internet work that we learned in school (a group of networks connected to each other across the world), that is, any website must be connected With the Internet so that the world can access it, excellent, so where is this site? A place must “host” the site’s files and its content, so that people can access it, and this place must be permanently connected to the Internet, secure from breaches, high-speed data transmission, and many other features. And this is where you’ll put your website hosting.
From here arose hosting companies, which offer you this place, in order for you to put your site files on it, the website (any site in the world) works like this, but the difference between a site that has 100 visitors per month, and a site that has a million visitors is the specifications of this server (place ) Who hosts the site, economic hosting is not a full reserved server, usually it is part of a virtual server that exists on the Internet, meaning that there is no tangible server hosting the site.
Let us consider the complications here, but what is worth mentioning here, for example, is that global sites are not on a virtual server, nor a real server. There are sites such as Google and Facebook that are located on the “farm” of server farms, which can be one of the largest data center data I have seen In your life, so that you can handle millions of requests in one second.
Web hosting or host-hosting both have the same meaning, and there is a great confusion between users in differentiating between the names, there are those who say it is a server and others call it a storage space and some still do not know what hosting is and what is its importance for websites.
What is web hosting?
In short, web hosting is a service that allows you to display the content of your site and publish it on the web, the providers of these services are the hosting companies where they have huge computers with huge specifications and high speeds connected to the Internet, these devices are the ones on which the content of the websites resides and they are called servers, and when Your visit to a website The internet browser sends a request to the server hosting this site, the server receives your request and shows you what you searched for or tried to access, and the web page appears for you, which may contain an attractive design, file, image, or text information
Websites are a service for organizing and storing the main files for publishing and operating a website or a Web page, which is intended to share site data with users within the global Internet, and hosting companies are the ones that provide web hosting services, including the technology required in operating and storing Internet sites. The sites are stored and run on a computer specially prepared for this purpose called a (server). Like hosting Nameship and Bluehost, when a user wants to view your website all they have to do is type your website address (domain) into the browser. From here, the communication protocol between the browser and the server begins to display your website pages in front of the user
Explanation of web hosting
Web hosting is one of the sides of the main triangle to get a website that works on the Internet, which consists of
- Website design
- Buy a domain
- Buy hosting
If any of the sides of this triangle are absent, you cannot exist on the Internet through the website and the web hosting is part of the server, as the web hosting server is a computer CPU like the one you work with in your home, with different specifications for the main components Hardware with the addition of some Special software to convert it into a Hosting Server for use in storing and sharing data and information on a local or global network such as the Internet.
How do I choose the best hosting type for my site?
Let’s try now to determine the right type for you, if your company is a start-up, you want of course to add some credibility to your company by creating a website for this company, so that people know that you are there, present your services and products and how to communicate with you, in this case, the best for you is to choose the basic type So that you save yourself additional expenses in exchange for advantages that you do not know if they will benefit you at the present time or not, noting here that you only have one site, as we mentioned earlier, most of the time, basic hosting allows only one site, knowing also that most sites allow you Upgrade your hosting type from low to high if you need to.
In general, you should start with the cheapest hosting, unless you have requests that are not present in it (such as the number of emails or space), then you can choose advanced or premium hosting.
One thing remains to mention here, which is the operating system that the server runs on, yes you are familiar with Windows, but here the situation is different, the overwhelming majority of websites are built using Linux for several reasons, the most important of which are security, free, and you do not have to, you will not need knowledge of Linux To administer the site, this is a completely different system from the operating system itself, but if you want to build a site using a programming language from Microsoft such as ASP.net, in this case you will need to purchase Windows hosting, it is preferable to contact technical support from the site to make sure that the hosting supports what you want before the purchase.

Are there different types of hosting services?
Yeah! Web hosting comes in all shapes and sizes, with different settings to suit different types of webmasters. In general, web hosting can be divided into the following categories:
Shared hosting: This is usually the cheapest type of web hosting as it is the most economical when it comes to using hardware. Shared hosting means that many different sites are hosted on the same server, with each user monitoring a certain amount of storage space and a certain amount of resources. Often this is the best option for beginners and bloggers.
VPS hosting: Setting up a VPS is like setting up shared hosting, but with activators. They generally use more powerful hardware and derive their name from the fact that while many websites are maintaining the same physical hardware, they all use virtualization software that allows them to work independently as if they were small, dedicated servers.
Dedicated hosting: Dedicated hosting is a good choice for professionals, and as the name suggests, it involves using a dedicated server for one website. In other words, unlike shared hosting and VPS hosting, the user is not forced to share storage space and resources with other people, and that he owns an entire piece of physical hardware for him.
Cloud hosting: Cloud hosting allows web administrators to access a wide range of interconnected servers all designed to take over from each other when needed. In other words, if you need more resources, the cloud will provide more resources to rise to the level of demand. Cloud hosting is usually the best option if you are targeting 100% uptime and don’t care how much you will pay for it.
Raya Alrowwad offers a combination of shared and cloud hosting. This setup allows us to offer fast website hosting with nearly 100% uptime at unbeatable prices.
What are the main differences between shared hosting and VPS?
A virtual private server (VPS) is a bit like shared hosting and a dedicated server. It is not quite the best enough but it is a good combos and can help you keep the cost down. Some people compare shared hosting to living in an apartment complex and VPS hosting to living in private accommodation.
With shared hosting, you share the server and its resources with a host of other websites. With a VPS, you are still sharing some resources because this is determined by the hardware, but the program itself is designed in a way that makes one machine behave as if it were multiple different servers, providing a different virtual server for each user.
For web administrators, using a virtual private server means they will have the administrative power of setting up dedicated hosting, including the ability to customize their server to their liking.
What is the hosting bandwidth?
You may already be familiar with the term “bandwidth” from your broadband provider. At its most basic level, bandwidth is a term that refers to the amount of data that can pass through an Internet connection. When a user accesses your website, they send a request to the server, and the server responds by literally presenting your website. Think of it as if it’s running a tape. The more people visit your website, the more water will flow into the tube, until you reach a point where the tube is filled with water and is running at full capacity. The same idea applies to your website. If more people try to access your website at the same time, the tube fills up, the website starts to slow down and it may even stop working entirely. This tube width determines your hosting bandwidth.
At a time when other hosting providers are limiting the bandwidth.
