Typically a company will provide basic hosting services, however in recent times bundled packages have been made available to subscribers. Therefore, in addition to offering the basic web hosting services, a company may also offer Domain Name System (DNS) hosting, this is a service that would be included in a domain name registration offer. The company may also offer e-mail hosting service in its bundled packages.
By uploading through the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or a web interface, a web host will be able to provide basic services such as small-scale file and Web page hosting. With this service there is little or no modification to the files that is delivered to the web, it is usually uploaded as is with little or no processing. The basic service is usually offered for free by the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to subscribers.
But subscribers also have the option of accessing web page hosting from other service providers if they so choose. While a complex site, such as 0wp.jp that will provide database support and application development platforms, will require more comprehensive web hosting packages, like ColdFusion, Java, Ruby on Rails, ASP.Net and PHP, personal web pages only requires single page hosting.
Upstream
The direction that data can be transferred to, from a client to a server, and the speed at which it takes to upload information is known as upstream. Whilst upstream speeds are usually faster as they are required by web server applications and similar processes to send critical data at a fast speed. Downstream speed is usually required by the average home user of the internet to download information and is usually not required to be fast.
