Database Support (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.)

For script-based web sites, almost all hosting corporations offer database support. A database is a set of tables used for handling and retrieving information exhibited on a web site. One of the most suitable examples would be a discussion board - all user names, passwords, and forum threads are kept in a database and are called and displayed on the site by the forum script when a given forum page is being looked up. This renders the site more well-organized since just the information that is requested is retrieved and shown. Databases are used with the majority of open-source PHP-based scripts, incl. electronic commerce web sites, and are an important fraction of the regular website hosting service nowadays. There are several kinds of databases - MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and so on. Which one you need is determined by 2 circumstances - which type(s) the specific web hosting provider supports, and which type is needed by the script that you would like to utilize. It is vital to verify these things before you settle on a web hosting supplier.
File Transfer Protocol Support (Uploads, Downloads)
Another functionality that normally comes with a website hosting plan is FTP access. FTP signifies File Transfer Protocol, and it is the most popular way of copying web files to or from a distant hosting server. You can upload your site using a File Transfer Protocol program, but most web design programs also offer a built-in FTP functionality, so you can upload all your files with one click of the mouse directly from the software program you have used to set them up. For any future updates, you just need to modify the website and then upload the modified web files, which renders maintaining your site extremely simple and time-effective.
Supplementary Domain Name and Web App Services
Supplementary functionalities may comprise domain management, a web-based site builder and a free script installer. Even though they are not mandatorily available with all web hosting providers, they are becoming an ingredient of the standard web site hosting package thanks to the immense demand for an across-the-board web site hosting solution where all the abovementioned functionalities are present and can be administered via one single Control Panel.
