The history of the emergence and development of hosting services is inextricably linked with the history of the global Web. It all began in the distant 1950s in the United States, when a government program for creating a unified data storage and transmission network appeared. At the initial stage, these were secret developments for the military. But technologies developed, and after 30 years the WWW protocol appeared, the Internet became available to a wide audience, and literally everyone who had something to say was trying to buy hosting and make a website.
What were the first sites
At the stage of its formation, the Internet could not boast of such a volume and breadth of information that can be found on the Web today. At that time, servers were very expensive equipment, and only large market players could afford to buy hosting, and even more so a dedicated server. But as the Internet has developed, the number of users of the global network has grown, more and more companies providing hosting services have appeared, and their services have become more and more accessible.
Many businessmen turned their attention to the so-called electronic niche, invested in this business, and paid off. Companies that offered to buy hosting grew like mushrooms, and the Internet was filled with more and more new information.
Advertising as an engine of internet business
The turning point in internet business came in 1991 when restrictions on ad placement were lifted. An increasing number of experienced webmasters and newbies in this business were eager to buy hosting for sites on which they placed advertisements that could be of interest to a huge number of people.
And it was at this time that a huge number of companies began to appear that offered services for the placement of sites, information at that time was transmitted via modem lines, which became more and more every day.
Hosting providers enter the market
A breakthrough in the development of communication technologies led to the fact that the quality of services for the provision of virtual hosting increased, and the hosting itself became more and more affordable. In the late 1990s, providers appeared in huge numbers in the USA, Asia and Europe.
The advent of user-friendly operating systems such as Windows, Mac OS and Linux has taken the demand for surfing the Internet to a new level. And if the products from Microsoft were used primarily as a client environment for Internet users, the UNIX clone was widely spread among hosting providers. Linux has a proven track record of availability and reliability, and its tremendous customization capabilities have made it the gold standard for both hosting servers and high-powered computers.
Hosting at the present stage: VPS and VDS servers
Today the situation on the hosting services market is such that anyone can buy hosting with the parameters necessary for his site and become a successful blogger or entrepreneur on the Internet. The choice is really wide - from free hosting for a small blog, to VPS and VDS servers for a serious project. Reliable providers always provide not only 24-hour technical support, thanks to which there are no special problems with the installation and development of the site, and a wide range of services, among which each resource owner can choose what he needs and not overpay for unnecessary services.
Today, the most developed segment of hosting is the American one, but many users are unhappy with the technical support provided by US hosters. Most likely this is due to the huge number of customers from all over the world who decided to buy hosting in America. In this regard, reliable hosting from Russian companies benefits significantly, since domestic providers focus on user problems, are open to cooperation and are ready to fight for each client. It is this factor that makes many Russian users move their sites from foreign virtual hosting to Russian sites.
