Web Hosting

Hallo semuanya
ketemu lagi di Tugas ngeBlog IMK!!
hahaha

kali ini kita akan membahas soal Web Hosting.
Teman-teman semuanya sebelumnya udah pada ngerti bukan apa gunanya Web hosting?
Web Hosting itu fasilitas yang digunakan untuk memasang website di internet.
seperti yang sudah kita ketahui bahwa untuk membuat website yang dapat dinikmati umum tidak cukup hanya membuat halaman webnya saja.

percuma saja kalau misalnya teman-teman mengoding html sampai jutaan baris tetapi tidak di hosting juga.
tetap saja tidak bisa diakses oleh umum

Pertanyaan berikutnya adalah bagaimana caranya kita melakukan Web Hosting?
berikut ini ada beberapa step-step web hosting yang saya kopas dari web tetangga
Step 1: How does it work?In order for your website to be available to anyone at anytime, you need tohost it with a web host (i-e a web server leased to you by a web hosting company).
Also, in order for your visitor to easily access your site by name, you will need adomain name such as yourname.com.
Most hosting companies will offer you a package including a domain name with the hosting of your site.

Step 2: Which kind of web site do you want?Basically, there are 2 kinds of web sites: 
Static sites (simple sites): you will build one or more web pages (calledHTML pages) with software like FrontPage or DreamWeaver on your computer. You will then upload the pages to your host's server using FTPsoftware like FileZilla for example.
Every time you will need to change something on your site, you will have to edit the pages on your computer and upload them again. The website never changes by itself. That's why it's called a "static" site. 
Dynamic sites (blogs, forums, photo galleries...): you will install software (called a web application) on your web server. This software will let you add and edit content (text, pictures, videos...) at any time directly online without the need for any special tools on your computer. The software may also allow your visitors to leave comments or start discussions of their own if you let them.
Of course we recommend the b2evolution software to start your own blog and more but there's plenty of choice here. Other popular web apps include WordPress, phpBB and Gallery.

Step 3: Which hosting technology do you need?While static HTML sites can be hosted on virtually ANY web server, when it comes to web applications, you need to be aware of the technology they are using. There are 2 main categories here: 
Linux hosting: this is also referred to as LAMP as in Linux Apache MySQL PHP which are the main technologies here. b2evolution for example runs on LAMP servers.
Windows hosting: this is also referred to as ASP hosting. ASP is Microsoft's technology for web applications. 
Windows hosting: this is also referred to as ASP hosting. ASP is Microsoft's technology for web applications.

Step 4: What hosting service level do you need?There is a whole range of service levels in web hosting. These can roughly be broken down like this:
Free hosting ($0): this is like shared hosting below but overloaded with ads and generally very slow. You should only use this for small private sites that do not need to work reliably.
Shared hosting ($4 to $10/month): this is the most common kind of hosting. A very large server will host the websites of several different clients. Each client has it's own account though and is isolated from other clients.
VPS (Virtual Private Servers) ($30 to $40/month): Again a large server will host several websites but this time, the sites are strongly isolated by each other as if they were actually on different servers. This is needed if you have high security constraints.
Dedicated Servers ($79 to $399/month): Here you get a whole physical server for yourself. That is very comfortable, fast and secure... but pricey!
Generally you will always want to start with shared hosting, knowing you can always upgrade later. Shared hosting gives you professional web hosting capabilities at the fraction of the price of a dedicated server.

Step 5: Choose a hosting companyOnce you have settled on Linux vs Windows and Shared vs VPS vs Dedicated, you will still have many offers from many different companies...
A lot of companies will offer you incredible disk space and bandwidth to host your site. Don't fall for it! All hosting plans in the $5 to $10/month today offer more space and bandwidth than you could possibly need when starting a new site.
If you ask us, there are 3 things you want to look at when choosing between similar hosting offers:
Performance: how fast will your site be? The best way is to check out a website you know is already hosted by the company you have in mind.
Uptime: will your site be available 24x7 or will it be "down" from time to time... which can be very annoying? Reviews and user comments will give you an idea pretty quickly.
Customer service! This is the hardest part to evaluate. If service is important to you, read reviews and user comments very carefully. However, if you tend to figure out things by yourself anyway, you may as well go for the cheapest prices...

Kalau masih kurang ngerti saya akan coba sedikit menjelaskannya

Step 1 : bagaimana caranya ia berjalan?
supaya suatu website bisa dengan mudah diakses oleh pengunjung, kita memerlukan nama untuk domain kita.
contohnya : facebook.com, kaskus.co.id, malesbanget.com, dsb
note : bila kita tidak memberikan nama untuk domain kita, biasanya perusahaan web hosting sudah menyiapkan nama domain untuk web kita

Step 2 : jenis website apa yang kita inginkan?
Statis? Dinamis?
Bila kita ingin yang statis, maka cukup membuat halaman webnya kemudian baru kita upload. web yang statis tidak akan berubah dengan sendirinya, oleh karena itu kita sebut dengan statis.
Web dinamis adalah kebalikan dari yang statis, Web dinamis akan berubah seiring dengan apa yang dilakukan oleh pengunjung. mungkin pengunjung web kita meninggalkan komen di web kita, atau mungkin mengupload foto ke web kita.

Step 3 : tentukan teknologi hosting yang ingin digunakan
di sini ada 2 kategori utama yang kita bahas, yaitu Linux hosting dan Windows hosting.
Linux hosting  secara umum lebih cepat dan lebih murah. Sedangkan Windows hosting memiliki layanan ASP yang tidak dimiliki oleh Linux.

Step 4 : tingkat service hosting yang diperlukan
tingkat hostingan ini sesuai dengan kebutuhan kita. 
dari yang gratis sampai yang mahalnya minta ampun.
dimulai dari free hosting yang leletnya minta ampun sampai dengan tingkatan Dedicated Servers yang membuat kita serasa mempunyai server pribadi.
Kalau kita hanya ingin main-main atau coba-coba, mending kita pakai yang free hosting. sebab itu gratis meskipun biasanya lelet banget dan penuh dengan iklan-iklan ga nyambung.
kalau memang urusannya sudah yang komersial, kita harus pakai yang agak sedikit bermodal. mungkin biasanya kalau hanya untuk website perusahaan pakainya shared hosting yang masih tergolong murah tapi sudah cepat. atau kalau kebutuhannya lebih dari itu bisa saja pakai yang tingkatannya di atas itu mungkin VPS ataupun Dedicated Server sesuai dengan kebutuhannya.

Step 5 : memilih perusahaan Hosting yang tepat
ini adalah step terakhir dalam menghosting web.
kita harus memilih perusahaan hosting yang tepat sesuai dengan kebutuhan kita.
ada 3 hal yang harus diperhatikan dalam hal ini
- performa : secepat apakah performa yang disediakan?
- waktu : kapan sajakah web kita bersedia di postingkan? 24jam X 7hari?
-customer service : seberapa tersediakah service dari perusahaan itu untuk pelanggannya?
