LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS:

1. List and explain the different features of web hosting? (4/6)

=Most web hosting companies provide different hosting packages and plans. Your monthly web
hosting cost can range from free to paid, depending on factors such as the following:

● Size of your website.

● Number of daily website visitors.
● Peak time website or webpage traffic.
● Web hosting features that you require

Before selecting a web hosting service, explore the different features that various services
provide. The following are the main features generally provided.

Disk space
Your website will require storage space for emails, web files, images, and databases. While you
are estimating your storage requirements, also consider future website growth and website
traffic. Low disk space impacts user experience, so it is an important factor in the selection of a
web hosting service.

Bandwidth and data transfer

In the web hosting industry, the terms bandwidth and data transfer are often used
interchangeably. However, they are two different things. Bandwidth is the amount of data that
your website can transfer to visitors at one time. Data transfer is the actual amount of data that it
transfers. You can think of bandwidth as a pipe. The bigger the pipe, the more the water can
pass through it. However, for various reasons, you might not use the total capacity of the pipe.
Data transfer is like the actual amount of water that goes through the pipe in a given time period.

Email accounts
Many web hosting plans include an email account. You can link your email address to your
website name. For example, if your website name is example.com, your email address will be
yourname@example.com.
The following are the main types of email accounts.

POP3
POP3 accounts give you server space to store your emails, which you can access directly or
by using your email client program.

Forwarding mail
Forwarding mail accounts redirect emails to another email address. This account could be a
personal email account with an email service provider or a third-party account that manages your
website emails for you.
21746
Aliases
Some web hosts have emails plans that you can use to create several aliases or email account
names without creating a full POP3 account. For example, you might want to display sales@,
support@, and orders@ addresses on different pages of you website. Instead of having multiple
POP3 accounts that need to be checked and administered, you could redirect everything to a
single inbox.

FTP access
FTP refers to website file transfer and sharing. Many websites have documents, such as PDF
files or image files, that they want internet users to download. The web hosting company uses
FTP access to provide this service.

2. Why is web hosting important and explain any five features of web hosting services? (6)
=Hosting your business website on an internal server can be n an internal server can be time
consuming and expensive. Web hosting providers offer the following benefits:

Performance
A web hosting company that manages hardware resources for multiple websites has greater
purchasing power. It invests in cutting-edge technology so that you get high-performing web
servers with processing power, internal memory, and other computing resources. This improves
website performance, and your visitors can load pages quickly.

Reliability
Web hosting service providers take away the stress of ongoing server maintenance. They
perform regular system upgrades to maintain high security standards. By doing so, they free up
your IT resources so that you can focus on application delivery instead of server management.

Technical support
Most web hosting services offer comprehensive support for troubleshooting performance
issues. They also streamline website monitoring and analytics, data backup and recovery, and
other similar features that make your website run more smoothly.

Security and compliance

Web hosting services use an end-to-end approach to secure infrastructure, including physical,
operational, and software measures that meet all compliance requirements.

3. Explain the different steps to host a website. (8)

=Steps to Host a website:

Step 1: Decide What Type of Website You Want: You will typically find 2 types of websites:

21746
Static or Basic Websites: Static websites are simple websites with one or more web pages
(called HTML pages). You can build them on your computer with software like Dreamweaver
and then upload the pages to your host’s server using any FTP software (such as FileZilla).
Whenever you need to make changes to your website, you’ll have to edit the pages on your
computer and upload them again. Since they cannot be modified dynamically, such websites
are called static websites. Static websites are cheaper than dynamic websites (below) but come
with limited functionality and no option for e-commerce or interactivity.

Dynamic Websites: Dynamic websites contain information that changes, depending on the time
of the day, the viewer and other factors. They make use of both client-side and server-side
scripts to create and update content. Client-side scripts, which run on a user’s computer, are
mainly used for appearance and interaction purposes. Server-side scripts, which reside on a
server and are extensively used by E-commerce and social networking sites, allow users to have
individual accounts and provide a customized response for each user. Dynamic websites are
CMS-driven, and allow you to directly add and edit content (i.e. text, design, photos, and videos),
as well as let your visitors leave comments and start discussions. Dynamic websites are ideal for
businesses and organizations. Examples of dynamic websites include blogs, forums, photo
galleries and e-commerce sites.

Step 2: Choose Your Hosting Server

Unlike static HTML sites which can be hosted on most web servers, when it comes to web
applications, there are basically two types of hosting platforms. Depending on your hosting
needs and what you’re most comfortable with, you can choose from:

Linux Hosting, which allows running scripts written in PHP, Perl, Python and other Unixoriginated
languages, and usually supports PostgreSQL and MySQL databases. This is the most commonly
used system today.

Windows Hosting, which allows running ASP scripts utilizing .NET and other Microsoft
technologies, and supports Microsoft SQL Server and Access database.

Step 3: Select Your Web Hosting Plan You will typically find a wide range of services in web
hosting, such as:

Shared Hosting: In shared hosting, you get to share the physical server with other website
owners. However, you will have your own separate account (secured with login credentials).
Shared hosting is very affordable because the cost of operating the server is shared between
you and the other website owners.

VPS Hosting (Virtual Private Server Hosting): In VPS hosting, every website is stored on a very
powerful server that is divided into several virtual compartments. The server software is
configured separately so that each unit can function independently. It should be your preferred
option if you have high-security concerns but don’t want to invest in a faster (but costlier)
dedicated server.
21746
Dedicated Hosting: Dedicated hosting offers you an entire server for yourself, thereby making it
faster, more secure…and costlier. It is the ideal solution for larger businesses and high-traffic
websites because it allows for maximum customization, configuration, installation and flexibility.

Cloud Hosting: Cloud hosting allows multiple virtual servers (clouds) to work together to host a
website or a group of websites. It offers unlimited ability to handle sudden traffic spikes. A
cloud-hosted website is not limited to a single server, and the resources allocated to it can shrink
or expand dynamically, depending on how much traffic you get It’s a great option for large
websites, including e-commerce websites, newsletters and
Blogs.

Step 4: Change Your DNS Address

After you have purchased your web hosting, you will get Name Servers (also known as Domain
Name Servers or DNS) – which is the Internet’s equivalent of a phone book that contains IP
Addresses. To get your website up and working, you will need to change the Name Servers of
your domain. It’s a simple but mandatory step for you to get started.

Go to your Domain Control Panel via http://manage.hostgator.in/customer.

1. Enter your registered email address and password.
2. Click on the Domain Name for which you need to change the Name Servers.
3. In the Domain Registration section, click on the Name Servers option.
4. Replace the existing Name Servers with the ones provided by your current web host, and
click on the Update Name Servers button.

Step 5: Upload Your Website

You can now upload your website to your account by connecting to the server using either
cPanel’s File Manager or FTP Client (such as FileZilla) – after which your website will go live.

How to Upload Your Website Using cPanel File Manager

o Log in to your cPanel.
o Click on the icon titled File Manager.
o Select Web Root and click on Go.
o Add all the files and folders under public_html and their respective domain folder.

How to Upload Your Website Using FTP Client

You can connect to FTP via an FTP program such as FileZilla Client. It allows you to see the files
and folders on our server like you’d see them on your computer. You can use it to drag and drop
your website’s files into the /public_html/ folder.

21746
To connect to your web server via FileZilla, follow these steps:
1. Install FileZilla and open it
2. From the File menu, select Site Manager
3. Click on New Site
4. Enter the username and password you received in your welcome mail
5. Set the Port to 21 (FTP always runs on Port 21)
6. Click Connect
Once your FTP is connected, you will see the files and folders of your:
Local computer on the left
Web hosting service on the right

To upload files to your hosting service provider via FileZilla, follow these steps:
1. From the left-hand side of FileZilla, select the file(s) and folder(s) you want to upload
2. Drag and drop the file(s) and folder(s) to the directory location on the right side of your web
hosting service. FileZilla will now start uploading.
3. After the uploading is finished, FileZilla log will confirm success and your uploads will be
visible on the right-hand side. Your website is now live now!

4. Explain about how to upload website to your account. (4)
