There are several people who are unable to know how their web page is sitting on their hosting sever; the following matter can be a probable solution for it.
One should know that hardware; software and protocol are the chief constituents of which a server is made of.
Server hardware
In the recent time the cost of server hardware has declined significantly in such a manner that now one can easily see a dream of having self-host server. But reality is quite different from this mirage. Entirely a server is:
Very swift processor
possessing a lump of RAM
Consists of a wide quantity of Disk Space
a linkage to a T1 line (way to connect to an external world).
Only large size offices are the prime habitat of the hardware. Most of the server host brag of their 99% or better uptime. Another outstanding feature prompting one to use a server host is as under-
Software (Operating system)
There are several operating systems available in the market. Most probably the software, user is using is an open source product or let say Apache or Linux. It is due to the fact that an open source application make server feel more secure than compared to Microsoft. These servers use an interface for one to provide access and configure them with the help of a control panel. However there are several control panels which are quite complicated as in comparison to others. Depending upon the skill of the knowledge of the user it is a point of concern when selecting a web host.
Protocol (FTP)
If one needs to get his/her page on the server, he/she need to take the help of client server application i.e. FTP (file transfer protocol). If one is creating his/her own page on his/her desk top, there is certainly one thing that one requires which is to have a server to get it in one’s server. It is also used to transfer files between one’s own pc to someone else’s computer .Thus it’s very important.
Thus now after this article one should get a general idea of what a server host is and also how it works.
