Modern hosting companies offer their users a lot of different services, some of which are very popular and demanded services are virtual dedicated hosting (VPS) and the service Colocation (Co-location).
Co-location and hosting services
Virtual dedicated hosting (VPS) is a service to rent a server hosting provider, the place for the placement of which is the server site. Such equipment is configured exclusively for your specific tasks and only the fulfillment of these tasks she will do.
Co-location (colocation), in turn, becomes something like your own mansion, and from the service of virtual dedicated hosting, it has the difference only in the fact that the Co-location – is your property. This type of service is that your personal equipment is on the provider’s territory, connected to its electricity, the provider provides its maintenance, connection to high bandwidth communication channels. But the equipment, which either already belongs to the owner, or is going to use his money all the same continues to be the property of the customer, and if he decides to change the hosting provider, he will take it and move to another territory completely unhindered.
In addition to those or other services related directly to the placement of resources (sites) of clients, hosting providers are also actively engaged in providing services incidental to the above process. Customers are constantly interested in them, and they are always in high demand. These services include: parking / registration of domains and reselling. To make these concepts were clear to the average user who has no specialized knowledge, you can draw some parallels from everyday life to make the description of these services easier.
Registration of domain names can be compared to registration, the user usually orders a professional hosting service in conjunction with the registration of the domain. As a result of the registration procedure the whole world receives your message about your name and address, which, if necessary, you should look for. Domain name registration is handled by registrars – these are specialized organizations, and providers can only help with registration, taking all the hassle out of it.
Parking – as in real life, the provision of someone’s own house for registration, but not for residence. At that address, you can put up a mailbox, pretending that you really live there (get a few kilobytes under the page). That’s about it, and looks like a service parking domain. She used to reserve his domain name.
For example, you decide to make money on the rental of living space, but you do not have the necessary funds in order to be full-fledged. You rent part of the house from the landlord at wholesale prices, and rent it already at retail prices to your tenants. That’s how disselling works, if you look at it from the perspective of the housing industry.
Whatever service you ordered whether reliable hosting or domain registration, you need to look carefully at the company you choose. Evaluate the list of clients, offers, prices, provided options for services. It is good when there is a test period.
