Several Patterns of Online Store Hosting
1. Having your own server and export:
This pattern can not be called hosting, because all the server’s equipments and supports are client’s own preparation. This pattern is almost not possible. Only large companies like google, amazon and Baidu are possible to manage all of their own. Their servers can be stacked with a small town with huge power consumption. For online shop owners, including some large-scale online shop owner, this is unlikely to matter. These patterns below are much easier to realistic.
2. Buy or borrow a few servers hosted in the telecom’s room
You give command. People there help you maintain them and give you some access bandwidth.This requires that you should own a specialized team to operate your server. For an ordinary user, how to make Online Shop profit is more important. Those high professional technologies don't need to be inputted.
3. Online Shop Virtual Server
Divide a host computer into several "virtual" host, each one has an independent domain name and IP address (or shared IP address), with the complete Internet server (WWW, FTP, Email, etc.) functions. On the same hardware or the same operating system, there are several different server programs runing for multiple users without disturbing each other. All users have their own part of the system resources (IP address, file storage space, RAM, CPU, time, etc.) They are completely independent and can be managed by users. It performs the same way as the independent server from outside look. This kind of websites can save more cost and maintenance work than those using the independent server. Recently the main form of Online Shop hosting is virtual hosts.
4. Virtual Private Server
("VPS") is using virtual server software (such as Microsoft Virtual Server, VMware's ESX server and SWsoft's Virtuozzo) to create several isolated small servers on a physical server. The small server (VPS) itself has its own operating system. Its operation and management are exactly the same as those of independent server. Virtual private server ensures that all resources are exclusive and the quality of services is good. It allows users enjoy such good service seems from an independent host while the price is virtual one’s. Although VPS costs slightly higher than virtual host, it can be restart in no time and the parameters can be set flexibly. This pattern is more and more popular in the market.
