Web Hosting Alternative Plans

Really low cost web hosting - Only pay for what you need. Get the best combination of quality and low cost web hosting available.

Free web hosting - As the name suggests, this service is free. With a free service website owners get a small amount of free space on a web server and can use it to host their own web pages. Usually the space is limited to one or two pages, and does not include other services such as databases, email or ftp. The pages usually are advertising-supported.

Shared web hosting service - Many web sites are hosted on the same server, usually with the same ip address. Each site has its own "virtual address". The number of sites on a single server will range from a few hundred to many thousands. Since they are on the same server all domains share the same pool of server resources, such as RAM, CPU and storage space.

Reseller web hosting - This method lets clients of web hosting companies become web hosting companies themselves. Most plans work this way: a client purchases a block of space, often associated with a specific ip address, and then can use this space to set up many domains. These domain spaces can simply be used for the reseller's own domains, or resold to other clients. Reseller accounts come with the capability to set up packages, set pricing, and collect payments automatically. Reseller accounts range in capacity and features from very cheap shared space to full featured dedicated or colocated servers.

Other more expensive web hosting plans include Virtual Dedicated Servers (VDS or VPS for "Virtual Private Servers), Dedicated servers and Colocation Hosting.
