How do web hosting systems work?

Question

I am creating a website and I would like to host it, but I have some questions because I have heard that the hosting has monthly access limits or limits in the size of the databases. So I’d like to know:

1: What are the types of limitations that a common host has (or some limitations that can be considered when making the right choice)?

2: What is Shared Hosting?

3: What exactly is the bandwidth that speak so much?

4: What is the average price of a good lodging?

5: Requirements by AJAX influence the limits of hosting, and the requirements will be made via json to my database?

Answer 1

Come on:

1: What are the types of limitations that a common hosting has (or some limitations that can be considered when making the right choice)? R = mainly monthly traffic, number of views or even bandwidth.

2: What is Shared Hosting? R = Shared hosting has CPU and hardware resource limitations for all sites. Basically, it is a server shared by several sites. It has a more interesting cost/benefit ratio.

3: What exactly is the bandwidth they talk so much about? R = bandwidth is the measurement of data, the speed at which they flow through telephone lines, cable or DSL to transfer information to and from a website through your computer. Regarding your website hosting, the bandwidth measures this data transfer stream, is the number of visits you receive on your website; pure volume multiplied by the file size included in your pages.

So if you have an entire web-based text site, you would be able to get more traffic, in smaller bandwidth numbers that you would do if you had a page with lots of images and graphics, which of course have larger file sizes that are being transferred from your website to your visitor’s browser (http://webartigos.com/artigos/largura-de-banda-e-a-hospedagem-de-sites/65369)

4: What is the average price of a good lodging? R = Depends on which services you hire. For example: e-mail accounts, database, some server side technology (like PHP, Python, Java or other). Prices vary enormously

5: Do AJAX requirements influence hosting boundaries, and the requirements will be made via json to my database? R = Certainly, they will influence the bandwidth.

Answer 2

What are the types of limitations that a common host has (or some limitations that can be considered when making the right choice)?

In general there are the obvious limits of disk space you can occupy, how much traffic (incoming or outgoing bytes transferred over the network) you can generate, how much you can use in databases, how many email accounts and the total space or space of each account you can occupy, what technologies can use, install, can be accessed by what type of terminal or access protocol and things like that.

There are limits that nobody talks about. There can be explicit limits to the use of a processor and the amount of disk access and things like that. This is usually broken down in the cloud, but not in traditional hosting. Some limit physically even through virtual machines or componentization mechanisms. Often they don’t tell you this, or make it seem like it’s a good thing for you when it’s actually limitation.

What is Shared Hosting?

Several websites from several clients are on the same server. With this you need less flexibility, more limitation, you dispute resources with others and have a certain insecurity. Today improved a little with the Dockers of life, but that ends up creating other difficulties.

What exactly is the bandwidth that speak so much?

It is the total amount of data that can pass through the network for a period of time, usually every second. So the 100Mbps width can pass 100 million bits per second (which is not the same as 12.5 million bytes per second, as many people think. This is the same as your Internet system limits. There is the guaranteed band where you can always traffic all this or the shared where you dispute all this with other people.

This does not directly limit how many visits your site may have, unless the width is very, very low, which does not exist. Of course there will always be a limit, but it is more common for the limit to be the server and not the bandwidth. It is possible to plug a very wide band with only one visit, although rare, and has mechanism to not create problems in cases like this.

What is the average price of a good lodging?

That changes, and you can’t answer it here.

AJAX requirements influence the hosting limits, and the requirements will be made via json to my database?

Certainly, in general they can even reduce the use compared to normal pages, if everything is done right. I know who managed to get worse.
