Web hosting

In order to maintain an internet site on the web so it can be accessed from any location in the world, it needs to be stored on a server of some sort. Each usually includes a combination of files (code files, images and so forth), and a database which includes all the rest of the data of the site. The files and the databases need to be stored on a server that is connected to the web. Should they be present on a computer of any other type, it will not be possible to reach them from the web and observe the information on them.

In order to raise the site online, there is need for a web hosting account at a company specializing in this and maintaining a server farm. There are also companies utilizing resale accounts, which means they purchase a site storage account and use it to host different sites by multiple customers.

Any user who registered to a web hosting service receives his own management panel, through which he can upload files, open up user permissions, connect domains and manage all aspects of the server. The management panel of the server is usually quite simple and it is easy to learn the basic principles of its management.

Types of web hosting servers

There are several types servers that are used to store sites. The servers differ from one another in the operation systems installed on them, as well as in whether they are shared or dedicated. In shared servers all of the resources are divided between several sites of different users.

In contrast, a dedicated server is a server wholly dedicated to a single user and can store on it sites by the same client – who enjoys all of the available resources of the server solely for his own needs.

In addition, there are also virtual servers on the cloud and they are actually advanced programs residing on a physical server. Virtual servers enable all of the advantages of a site storage server, but they do not actually exist in physical reality – they are entirely virtual.

Virtual Private Servers

What is virtual server?

Internet sites need to be stored on a server to be accessible from the world wide web. If you need to select a server and a storage company for your site, then you had best get acquainted with the various types of servers: dedicated servers, shared servers and virtual servers.

A virtual server is a device or software that exists within another computer which serves as a server to all intents and purposes. Virtual servers include an operating system, memory, a RAM processor and a hard disk used to store the data. All of these components are also present on physical, non-virtual servers.

Virtual servers are also called VPS (Virtual Private Server). These servers function as a dedicated server whose entire resources are dedicated for a single user. This is in contrast to shared servers, in which there is a division of the server resources between several user accounts.

The advantages of virtual servers

Storage on virtual servers has several prominent advantages. First, the costs of storage on such a server is lower than on non-virtual servers. In addition, since the server is a virtual machine there are no maintenance expenses on the hardware components of the server.

Another advantage is that the resources of the virtual server can be expanded, such as the memory components and the disk space. In a physical server any expansion of memory, for example, is associated with the shutdown of the server and the physical addition of a memory card to its hardware. In contrast, the memory of the virtual server can be expanded at the click of a button, with no need for physical contact or prolonged shutdown of the server.

Virtual servers are always dedicated servers, so they can be adapted to user needs and there is no need to perform redistribution of the resources between several customers paying for storage services.

Colocation

Many companies and organizations in the market require high quality colocation services. These services are required to store information the company manages as well as host sites and web applications online. There are quite a few server farms and companies offering server hosting services, but that only way to be certain of the quality of service you receive is by contracting with a company that provides the highest level of equipment, excellent security and good support services.

What should a high-quality server hosting include?

There are several important parameters in the context of high-quality server hosting. First, the servers provided by the server farms must be maintained in a suitable environment with temperature control and organized management of the servers on the physical level.

Beyond these concerns it is important for the equipment on the server farms to be provided by the leading companies on the market (Cisco, CheckPoint and so forth) and that security be maintained at a maximal level. In the current cyber age, in which quite a few attacks are launched on Israeli server companies, it is very important for the servers to be well secured and to posses a frequently updated backup.

Another important parameter is the topic of support and service. Since all the activity on the servers is performed remotely and includes the management of various technical aspects, it is important to always have someone to turn to and receive support on the server. The technical support staff of the server farm must not only possess the requisite knowledge and experience, and it is also important that the availability of the service and support center be 24/7, given that server malfunctions can occur at any time of the day. 

Accessible and monitored colocation services

If you require colocation services, it is important for you to perform a market survey and ensure the company at which you are hosting the server be available, professional and provide good support. Server hosting must be performed on advanced equipment and be monitored and scrutinized 24 hours a day in order to identify malfunctions and respond to them in a timely manner.

Infrastructure and IT

Computing infrastructure services and IT sre required by many companies in a variety of fields. The services include planning, establishment and operations of computing infrastructure and communications. The computing infrastructure are required to run CRM systems and customer communications, operate the company or the organization on a day to day basis, and also manage the communication channels the company makes use of.

For the most part, the established infrastructure includes dedicated servers, a communication network, internet infrastructure and also software required to operate the company's work. These infrastructure are critical for the sound functioning of the company and hence must be regularly maintained and receive technical support as necessary.

Technical support for communication and computing infrastructres

Another essential service in the field of infrastructure and IT is the ability to perform recovery from disaster and DDOS. Since technical malfunctions can bring about a shutdown of the servers and harm the work based on them, it is critically important to retain the ability to rapidly and accurately restore the data and return the server to action in the most efficient manner. In addition, many online servers are currently exposed to DDOS attacks – hacking attempts that bring down the server by flooding it with simultaneous requests from many computers at the same time. Disaster recovery services can be secured from the infrastructure and IT company which operates the servers and communication equipment.

It is desirable for the company providing the services to provide a response also in the field of server hosting. Servers are actually the technical focus of the infrastructure and they are required to host data and bring online internet sites and virtual services.

Disaster recovery

Another essential service in the field of infrastructure and IT is the ability to perform recovery from disaster and DDOS. Since technical malfunctions can bring about a shutdown of the servers and harm the work based on them, it is critically important to retain the ability to rapidly and accurately restore the data and return the server to action in the most efficient manner. In addition, many online servers are currently exposed to DDOS attacks – hacking attempts that bring down the server by flooding it with simultaneous requests from many computers at the same time. Disaster recovery services can be secured from the infrastructure and IT company which operates the servers and communication equipment.
