Web Hosting, Virtual Host, Multi-Homing


FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host or to another host over a TCP-based network.



FTP is built on a client-server architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server.
Your Web browser can also make FTP requests to download programs you select from a Web page. Using FTP, you can also update (delete, rename, move, and copy) files at a server.
FTP uses port number 21.

List of Program that connecting via secure FTP.

o   FileZila
o   SmartFTP
o   CuteFTP
When trying to connect via FTP to the remote server, the program that you are using will ask for at least three pieces of information:
o   Server
o   Username
o   Password

ISP(internet service provider)

à is a business or organization that offers users access to the Internet and related services
à They provide services such as Internet access, Internet transit, domain name registration and hosting, dial- up access
àAn ISP is a company that supplies Internet connectivity to home and business customers.
àA web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web.

WEBHOSTING

àTo make your Web site visible to the world, it has to be hosted on a Web server
àWeb hosts are companies that provide space on a server owned or leased for use by clients, as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center.
àWeb hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for other servers located in their data center, called collocation, also known as Housing in Latin America or France.



Virtual host

 à Virtual hosting is a method for hosting multiple domain names (with separate handling of each name) on a single server .
à This allows one server to share its resources, such as memory and processor cycles, without requiring all services provided to use the same host name.
One widely used application is shared web hosting.

TYPES

1. namebased
Name-based virtual hosts use multiple host names for the same IP address.

2. ip based

When IP-based virtual hosting is used, each site (either a DNS host name or a group of DNS host names that act the same) points to a unique IP address

3. Port based

The default port number for HTTP is 80. However, most webservers can be configured to operate on almost any port number, provided the port number is not in use by any other program on the server.
For example, a server may host the website www.example.com

MULTI HOMING

Multihoming refers to a computer or device connected to more than one computer network.

Multihoming is intended to increase the reliability of network applications but it does not necessarily improve their performance.
