Web Hosting

Hosting with Ad-Lit Web Solutions is a sure bet. We have an extremely advanced hosting system with a load balancer which means that when one server goes down, another one takes which means zero down-time for the visitor to your website.

What is Load-balancing and Do I Need It?

In today’s high tech world, the Internet is quickly becoming a favorite resource for knowledge gathering. As the owner of a website, you may find yourself running into problems with a scenario that your web server cannot handle the number of visitors to your site or there is a hardware failure of some kind. That’s where load-balancing comes in.

Load-balancing, by definition, is dividing the amount of traffic to a website between multiple web servers so that more work gets done in the same amount of time and, in general, all processing gets done faster and provides higher availability in case of breakdowns.

Consider this analogy. You own a restaurant, where you currently employ one chef. As your restaurant gains popularity, the chef becomes busier with the preparation for the food for each of your visitors. There will eventually come a time when the stream of customers is too much for your chef to keep up with them. So how do you solve it? You hire a second chef. When a new order comes in, the chef with the smaller load takes it and fills it accordingly. This way, neither of the chefs is bogged down the whole time and all orders are completely quicker. This is the essence of load-balancing.

What exactly is Hosting?

Hosting, also known as web site hosting or web hosting is the service of housing a website, providing the services of having web pages available to view using the internet and provide email services for that website. As a visitor of a website this is how you interact with a website: going to a website from a search engine or by typing in a domain name, you see pages with information and you can email a person that has their email address listed on that website.
