Website Hosting in India with Indian Web Servers

Different Types of Web Hosting

Basically the web hosting in India is categorized in four types.

(1) Free Hosting in India - Free hosting is just like any other hosting, but they don't charge you to host your website. This type of service provider gets you some space for storing your content, and in return you agree to allow advertisements to be displayed on your pages. In this way the owner of the ad pays for the space that is being provided to you. So get ready for lots of advertisements on your web page. This can make you annoyed indeed sometimes. Resources are also limited in every sense of service like; space, data transfer speed, technical support, email services and credibility counts (they are not going to count your credibility). Free Indian hosting is Ok if your website is about your hobby or family, but truly speaking this is not going to work for professional & business websites. This is widely use in India by novices to take a play safe starting.

(2) Shared Hosting in India - Shared hosting is one of the most popular Indian hosting options being offered by web hosting providers today. In shared web hosting environment many different clients share the same server as well as the same resources. These resources include storage space, bandwidth, FTP accounts and email accounts, etc. Because of this sharing feature it cuts down the cost to each sharer on a particular server.
This option is very good for novices who are not sure of what exactly their needs are. This also helps you in estimating how much traffic you will be getting and how much storage space you will require further. This will help you to start out slow and you will be able to make decisions on your hosting plans for future. India is adopting this option rapidly, in fact it has been doing it for a long time.

(3) Dedicated Hosting in India – This web hosting allows you to get an entire server for yourself only, in other words you have a full influence to select the hardware configuration and choose the OS for your dedicated server. If you choose dedicated Indian web hosting option you will usually get faster performance, full-functionality, and quality service. In this type of hosting web hosting provider just provides services and does not really own anything. Everything else will be the customer's liability.
Dedicated web hosting in India is a great choice for large companies with heavy online traffic, who can't afford any kind of interruption in accessing their website online, reliability, high quality customer service, uninterrupted up-time of server, sufficient memory and bandwidth allocated. The only downside to this option is its cost.

It's further divided into these categories.
Managed dedicated hosting: In this type of hosting web hosting provider manages your dedicated server for you. This includes installation, up gradation and the configuration of the server software and hardware.
Un -managed web hosting: In this type of hosting web hosting provider manages your dedicated server for you. So the client should ensure that he can manage the server on his own.
Virtual Private Server: This is another type of dedicated server, but cheaper than that.
VPS is a virtual server appears to be a dedicated, but the users share system resources. Means a single computer can have several VPSs. Indian servers are making a boom in this niche.

In this system you get the same level of root access and complete privacy as a dedicated Indian server , but the file system is fully partitioned at a fraction of the cost. This all is because of sharing the cost of the hardware, such as the CPU and memory, but along with a guaranteed bandwidth, disk space, CPU resources, memory, etc.

(4) Reseller Hosting in India - In this type of hosting someone who is interested in reselling Indian hosting under his own specific different brand is called the reseller of that hosting company. The reseller acts as an agent for someone else, but appears to be an individual Indian web hosting company. He is responsible to provide all the support and resources to the clients.
