# Hosting Types Card

> Hosting kya hai, 5 types ek table mein, aur cart par renewal ki checklist

Free guide by bloopcommits (@bloopcommits) · https://bloopcommits.pages.dev/host/

Pichhli videos mein hamne dekha ki domain website ka address hota hai. Par address se kaam nahi chalta, website ki files kisi ghar mein bhi to rehni chahiye. Wo ghar hosting hai. Is card mein hosting kya hoti hai, uske paanch type (shared, VPS, cloud, dedicated aur free), kaun sa kab sochna chahiye, aur plan kharidne se pehle cart par kya dekhna hai, sab ek jagah hai. Ye guide 'Domain Se Hosting Tak' series ka hissa hai.

## Hosting kya hoti hai

MDN ke hisaab se web server ek computer hota hai jisme web server software aur website ki files (HTML, images, CSS, JavaScript) rakhi hoti hain. Wo internet se juda rehta hai, aur jab koi tumhari site kholta hai to wahi server files us ke device tak pahunchata hai. MDN ye bhi likhta hai ki downtime aur system ki dikkat ko chhod kar aisa server hamesha internet se juda rehta hai. IBM ke shabdon mein web hosting wo service hai jisme provider website ki saari files ek server par rakhta hai aur website ko internet par accessible banata hai.

| Shabd | Seedhi bhaasha mein |
| --- | --- |
| Server | Ek computer jo files rakhta hai aur browser ko dikhata hai. |
| Hosting | Wo service jo tumhari site ki files ek server par rakhti hai, taaki site internet par khule. |
| Domain | Website ka address (pichhli video). Hosting = ghar, domain = address. |
| Resources | Server ki taqat ke hisse: CPU, RAM, storage, bandwidth. |
| Traffic | Site kholne wale logon ki aamad. |

## Paanch type, ek table mein

Ye table definitions IBM ke hosting pages se hain. Ghar wali tulna hamari apni analogy hai: socho, spec nahi. (IBM khud bhi shared, VPS aur dedicated ko apartment, townhouse/condo aur akele ghar se compare karta hai.)

| Type | Ghar jaisa (socho) | Kya hota hai | Aam taur par |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Shared | PG ka kamra | Ek hi server par bahut saari sites; CPU, RAM, storage jaise resources sab ke saath share. | Aam taur par sasta; basic, kam traffic wali personal site ke liye theek. |
| VPS | Flat | Ek physical machine par kai VPS. Har VPS ka apna operating system aur apna reserved hissa, par neeche ka hardware baanta hua. | Shared aur dedicated ke beech. |
| Cloud | Aisi building jiske floors traffic ke hisaab se badhte-ghatte hain | Kai virtual aur physical servers ke network ke resources milkar site chalate hain; traffic badhne par resources bhi badhte hain. | Resources demand ke saath badalte hain. |
| Dedicated | Poori building | Ek poora physical server sirf ek customer ka. Resources share nahi hote. | Sabse mehnga. |
| Free hosting | Free kamra, jiske bahar niyam likhe hain | Free plan, limits ke saath: jaise site ka size aur bandwidth. | Limits page pehle padho. |

> **Kam se zyada: tumhe server ka kitna hissa milta hai**
>
> - Shared: server ka ek hissa, baaki sab ke saath baanta hua.
> - VPS: server ke andar tumhara apna alag hissa.
> - Dedicated: poora server.
> - Cloud: ek server nahi, servers ka network jo demand ke saath chalta hai.

## Kaun sa kab? Khud se ye sawaal poochho

- Meri site static hai (ready files) ya dynamic (login, cart, database)? Pichhli video mein dono ka fark hai.
- Roz kitne log aate hain, aur kya kabhi achanak bheed aa sakti hai (jaise kisi post ke viral hone par)?
- Kya mujhe server khud sambhalna aata hai, ya chahta hoon ki host sambhale?
- Free hosting ke limits (size, bandwidth) mere kaam ke liye kaafi hain? Allowed use kya hai?
- Mere budget ki upar ki seema kya hai? Aam taur par shared sasta hota hai aur dedicated sabse mehnga.

> **Mera rule of thumb (advice hai, guarantee nahi)**
>
> - Chhoti, simple site: shared ya free.
> - Badhti hui site: VPS ya cloud.
> - Bahut bhaari kaam: dedicated.
> - Kaun sa type sahi hai, ye tumhari site par depend karta hai. Jab shak ho, sabse chhote type se shuru karo aur zarurat padne par badlo.

## Free hosting: pehle limits page padho

Free hosting ke saath limits aati hain. Misaal ke liye GitHub Pages ke official limits page par alag alag limits likhi hain: published site ka maximum size, bandwidth ki limit aur build kitni baar chal sakti hai. Wahi page ye bhi batata hai ki ye service kis kaam ke liye nahi hai. Isliye kisi bhi free plan par jaane se pehle uska limits page aur allowed use dono padho. Numbers yahan nahi diye, kyunki limits badalti rehti hain; official page hi final hai.

## Catch: promo rate aur renewal

Kai hosts ke plan pages par shuru ka promo rate bada dikhta hai, aur wahin chhoti line mein renewal rate ("Renews at ...") likha hota hai. Jin do official plan pages ko hamne poora padha, wahan renewal rate shuru ke rate se zyada tha, aur ek teesre official page par bhi "Renews at" likha tha. Isliye video mein hamne kaha: kai hosts shuru ka promo rate dikhate hain, aur renewal par rate zyada ho sakta hai. Koi brand achha ya sasta nahi bataya ja raha, aur is guide mein koi price ya number nahi hai, kyunki plans badalte rehte hain.

## Cart par renewal checklist

1. Plan card par "Renews at" ya renewal likhi line dhoondo. Wo aksar chhote akshar mein hoti hai.
2. Dekho ki promo rate kitni term (kitne mahine) ke liye hai, aur cart mein kitne mahine ka payment ek saath ho raha hai.
3. Cart mein sirf pehla price nahi, renewal price bhi padho. Dono ko ek paper par likh lo.
4. Agar free domain mil raha hai, to dekho ki pehle saal ke baad domain kis rate par renew hota hai. Ek host ki policy mein likha hai: "After the first year, the domain will automatically renew at the then current rate".
5. Auto-renew on hai ya off? Off karna ho to kahan se hoga, pehle se dekh lo.
6. Khareedne ke baad cart ya order ka screenshot rakho, aur calendar mein renewal se pehle ka reminder lagao.

## Cart check table (khaali template)

Ye ek banaya hua template hai. Har plan ke liye apne paas ek copy bharo, aur do plan aamne-saamne rakh kar dekho.

| Sawaal | Plan A | Plan B |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Type kya hai (shared / VPS / cloud / dedicated / free)? |  |  |
| Shuru ka promo rate kitni term ke liye hai? |  |  |
| Renewal rate likha hai? Kahan? |  |  |
| Domain free hai? Uska renewal rate? |  |  |
| Limits (size, bandwidth) kahan likhi hain? |  |  |

## Banaya hua example

Ye ek banaya hua example hai, kisi asli insaan ka nahi. Maan lo Riya ne ek chhoti portfolio site banayi hai: kuch pages, kuch photos, aur koi login ya cart nahi. Wo shared ya free hosting dekhti hai, kyunki site simple hai. Do plan ki cart check table bharte waqt use pata chalta hai ki ek plan ka renewal rate alag line mein likha hai, jo usne pehle nahi dekha tha. Ab wo promo aur renewal dono ko saath rakh kar decide kar sakti hai. Agar kal ko uski site par bahut zyada log aane lagein, to wo VPS ya cloud ke baare mein sochegi. Ye ek advice hai, guarantee nahi.

## Aam galtiyan

- Sirf pehla price dekhna aur renewal price na padhna.
- Ghar wali analogy ko spec maan lena: PG, flat aur building sirf samajhne ke liye hain.
- Shared hosting mein ye bhool jana ki resources sab ke saath share hote hain.
- Free hosting ka limits page aur allowed use na padhna.
- Bina zaroorat ke dedicated server lena, ya bahut bhaari site ko bahut chhote plan par chalana.
- Kisi host ko sirf is wajah se chun lena ki kisi ne use best bata diya: apni site ke hisaab se type chuno.

## Final checklist

- ☐ Pata hai ki meri site static hai ya dynamic.
- ☐ Type chuna: shared, VPS, cloud, dedicated ya free, aur wajah likhi.
- ☐ Free ho to limits page aur allowed use padha.
- ☐ Cart mein promo rate aur renewal rate dono dekhe.
- ☐ Promo kitni term ke liye hai, ye note kiya.
- ☐ Auto-renew ki setting dekhi aur reminder lagaya.
- ☐ Plan badalne ka tareeka (upgrade) pehle se dekh liya.
