A 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. Typically, while hosting web applications, it becomes essential to host the core website component, databases and other resources necessary for running the application. There are many web hosting options available like free web hosting, shared hosting, dedicated server, and the list goes on. Today, many companies provide services for hosting web application where they manage the infrastructure along with maintenance and the application developer needs to focus only on the actual application development. The service charges depend upon the factors like disk space, bandwidth, email account or FTP access. Nowadays, many companies provide Platform-as-a-Service(PaaS) to deploy and scale applications in Cloud.
Some popular PaaS providers are :
> Amazon Web Service
- Not a platform in the traditional sense, Amazon's AWS Elastic Beanstalk changes how developers push their apps into Amazon's
cloud. Developers upload the app and Elastic Beanstalk handles the deployment details, capacity provisioning, load balancing,
auto-scaling and app health monitoring.
> Heroku
> Elastic Yard
- Engine Yard's platform offers simple, automated Rails deployment and management that makes for easy app migration.
> Google App Engine
- The developer platform that lets users build and host Web apps in the cloud in an effortless fashion.
> GridGain
- open-source cloud application platform helps developers build scalable applications that can work natively on managed
infrastructure, from a Google Android device to large grids and clouds. The software supports major OSes and provides native
support for Java and Scala.
