Types of Web hosting

There are generally two types of Web Hosting accounts available, virtual and dedicated.

• Virtual Web Hosting refers to leasing space on a web server where you have your own domain name. This type of account enables your web site to share disk space and bandwith with other webmaster.
• On a dedicated server you have the entire machine to yourself. You have the full control of the machine. It is fast and secure type of hosting and is a good choice if you have alot of visitors. 

Bandwith

Bandwith consumption is a important consideration for every webmaster. The amount of bandwidth usage allocated by the hosting company can vary considerably. It depens on the hosting plan you choose and ofcourse the hosting company. So shop around! And ask how much is the overage bandwith.

Important notice- bandwith consumption allocation always refers to virtual hosting plans. Any bandwidth in excess of the allotted amount is charged the stated amount per gigabyte. So always ask for the price of the overage bandwith consumption per gigabyte.
