This hosting provides an entire web server to a single user. It can be use to sell shared or reseller hosting or can be use by a corporate to manage all their web sites. Dedicated hosting excels over shared hosting by providing more memory, disk space, CPU, RAM and bandwidth. It provides more security and uptime than a shared hosting as it is used by a single user.

It has features of both shared and dedicated hosting but it removes the limitations of both type of hosting. It uses special software that takes a single physical web server and divides it into 2 or more separate virtual web servers. Each virtual server acts as if it is a completely separate machine. The main large server is partitioned and leased out to different users, thus giving them their own operating systems and root access to these partitions. The access provides the users with great technical control and ability to update, install or change system software needed and to execute root user operations. VPS is needed if your website plans are dynamic and there is an expectation of erratic traffic on your website. It’s kind of intermediate hosting plan as it is expensive than shared but cheaper than dedicated hosting.

Windows Hosting – Windows hosting means hosting of web services that runs on the Windows operating system. Windows Hosting must be needed if ASP (Active Server Pages) is used as server scripting/programming language, or if you plan to use a database like Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL Server.
Unix Hosting – Unix hosting means hosting of web services that runs on the Unix operating system.
Linux Hosting – Linux hosting means hosting of web services that runs on the Linux operating system.
The difference in all these operating systems lies in the type of software each can run. Windows is suitable for Microsoft products such as MS Access databases, ASP for delivering dynamic content, and VBScript for site enhancements. UNIX cannot accommodate these technologies so if you absolutely need ASP or VBScript you should pick a Windows host. UNIX hosts deliver dynamic content by using software such as PHP, CGI, and MySQL – technologies which are also available on Windows hosts.
Windows is necessary for hosting Windows media files such as videos and audio. Other types of media such as MP3, Flash, Shockwave and Real can be handled by either UNIX or Windows.

Database stores data that can be product name, product description, customer name, customer address or the information that appears on web pages. The database helps to serve information dynamically as it is requested by the user. You might have seen the sites where you can get all the products in the particular price range. It can also be used for storing and accessing customer records and customizing the page according to customer’s previous purchases. SQL (Standard Query Language) is a standard language for accessing databases.

It refers to the amount of data that transfers into and out of your web hosting account.
A small or medium web site will consume between 1GB and 5GB of data transfer per month.
Calculate the following: average page size * expected page views per month
Example: If your average page size is 30KB and you expect 50,000 page views per month, you will need 0.03MB * 50,000 = 1.5GB.
The best way to calculate the amount of bandwidth you need is to calculate the size of your downloadable content and multiply by the number of visitors you receive each month. Add to that the number of emails sent and received and other content such as FTP uploads.

When you choose for a hosting plan you will be provided information about disk space. Exceeding your disk space may entail you a penalty from your hosting provider. Your web hosting provider might charge higher price for exceeded disk space. You need to keep an eye on the amount of space you are using and if you see that you are about to exceed your limit, then either delete some images or heavy files that are not needed or buy extra space.

A basic web site with just a few pages requires less than 1 MB of disk space. As you add more content and include things like downloadable files, pictures, music, and video you will require more disk space.
A small or medium web site will need between 10 and 100MB of disk space. The amount of disk space you needed will get higher if you use images, videos, etc as these files are heavier than text files and require more space.
An average web page (3 graphics and 2 screen lengths of text) takes about 20 KB (to be generous). At this rate, a hosting package with 10 MB can have about 500 pages. A typical 3 minute MP3 file takes about 2.5 to 3 MB of disk space. A short video (very poor quality) can take 1 MB.
