What is a web server?
A web server is a machine designed to host applications and websites (e-commerce, blogs, etc.). This server hosts the website files as well as its database (in the case of a dynamic website). Several services are required for a web server to work properly: Apache to serve HTTP queries, MySQL to manage databases, and SFTP to manage the sending of website files to the server. An SMTP server can also be set up for sending and receiving emails.
Choosing between a dedicated server and shared hosting
It is important to identify your needs before making a choice. If you are looking to host a website with just a few pages and low volumes of traffic, then a shared hosting plan would be the best solution for you. This type of hosting comes with a lower price tag, as several customers share the resources of a single server. However, this will affect the resources. Since they are shared between several users, they are not guaranteed. Administration is reduced to the essentials, so that it is accessible to those with only basic technical knowledge.
For larger-scale projects that are likely to grow, we recommend opting for a dedicated server. You are fully responsible for your server’s technical configuration, and get access to guaranteed resources. With computing power, high-speed data processing, high-volume storage space, and the option of adding your server to an infrastructure of your choice, your websites and applications will be able to grow over time.
