I have found a definition for “host” that I think is very interesting, and can solves a lot of questions and dudes.

What is host? (http://searchcio-midmarket.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid183_gci212254,00.html)

The term “host” is used in several contexts, in each of which it has a slightly different meaning:

1) In Internet protocol specifications, the term “host” means any computer that has full two-way access to other computers on the Internet. A host has a specific “local or host number” that, together with the network number, forms its unique IP address. If you use Point-to-Point Protocol to get access to your access provider, you have a unique IP address for the duration of any connection you make to the Internet and your computer is a host for that period. In this context, a “host” is a node in a network.

2) For companies or individuals with a Web site, a host is a computer with a Web server that serves the pages for one or more Web sites. A host can also be the company that provides that service, which is known as hosting.

3) In IBM and perhaps other mainframe computer environments, a host is a mainframe computer (which is now usually referred to as a “large server”). In this context, the mainframe has intelligent or “dumb” workstations attached to it that use it as a host provider of services. (This does not mean that the host only has “servers” and the workstations only have “clients.” The server/client relationship is a programming model independent of this contextual usage of “host.”)

4) In other contexts, the term generally means a device or program that provides services to some smaller or less capable device or program.

I have read in Gigaom.com:

“Cisco Systems, the San Jose, Calif.-based company that makes a living selling plumbing for the Internet (amongst other things), has come out with a prediction: Traffic on the world’s networks will increase (annually) 46 percent from 2007 to 2012, nearly doubling every two years. As a result, there will be an annual bandwidth demand of approximately 522 exabytes2, or more than half a zettabyte.”

I think it is obviously an importnant fact in order to see how Internet services business and hosting companies can grow exponentially. This is a good moment for web hosting enterprising people.

If you need a web hosting for a new web or for a web with a small traffic of users, perhaps a website with 2000 visits per day or less, you can see the bid of the hosting company “Exclusive Hosting”. However, if you get more visits or if you are hosting too many images, you will have problems with the host (this hosting is not adapted to your needs).

But in the future we can change the hosting company or contract or recruit another plan in the company. Exclusve Hosting offers a Web hosting for only 2.95 dollars a month, and we will have guaranteed a service uptime of 99.9% and what is most attractive: a monthly transfer of up to 500Gb.

We will have a disk space of 50,000 MB, a database (only 30MB), a free domain (the main domains: Com. Net. Org. Info…), thirty subdomains and an easy panel of administration that will allow you to install blogs, CMS and forums with just one click.
