Hosting Information

Web hosting is a service that allows individuals and organisations to provide their own websites accessible via the World Wide Web. Hosting companies provide space on a server (shared) or a dedicated server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data centre.

A shared web hosting service (aka virtual hosting service) is a form of web hosting service where more than one website is hosted on a single physical server; they share resources. This is generally the most economical option for hosting as many people share the overall cost of server maintenance.

A Dedicated web hosting service is a type of website hosting where the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone. This is more flexible than shared hosting, as organisations have full control over the server(s), including choice of software, operating system, hardware, etc. Server administration can be provided by the hosting company as an add-on service.

What is your hosting reliability and uptime?
Hosting uptime refers to the percentage of time the host server is accessible via the internet, be careful as this can mean your website may be unavailable and the host server up. Many providers state that they aim for a 99.9% uptime, but there has to be server restarts and planned (or unplanned) maintenance in any hosting environment to keep security uptodate and replace old hardware. We recommend you look at any hosting company as them to provide you with real statistics on past availability, click here for our hazel server stats. At Praeparo we use Server monitored by Alertra. monitoring.

UK or USA hosting?
