What is a web host?
What is the mission of a web host?
The missions of a web host are :
- Installation of the servers
- Securing the servers (with a corrugated power supply, backed up by a generator, an air-conditioned room equipped with fire prevention devices)
- Updating of the servers in particular to avoid malicious attacks
- Repair of servers in case of failure
- Installation of software technologies necessary for the operation of the site
Hosting on a shared server
In this solution, each server hosts several sites, in order to share costs. The main advantage is the price, the main disadvantage is that the customer shares the system resources with other shared customers. The web agency MMCréation, makes sure to offer quality services including in its shared hosting formulas by installing few sites on each server.
Hosting on dedicated server
In this solution, the customer has his own server, and can generally administer it as he wishes, which is the main advantage of this type of offer. However, the server provider remains the owner of the server. The disadvantages are: the price is much higher than shared hosting, and the need for skills to administer the machine properly.
Server maintenance
In the case of dedicated hosting called "managed": the customer has his own server but the technicians of the hosting company take care of its management. This solution is perfect if you have no technical knowledge on its administration. You just have to upload your site. This type of hosting seeks to adapt to the needs.
The statistics of frequentation of your site
We can install on your sites statistical monitoring tools of frequentation in order to allow you to follow them in all autonomy and thus to pilot your Web site with full knowledge of the facts. These tools are in particular invaluable to check the effectiveness of the strategies of referencing with the search engines.
