Web Hosting Review, Parties Involved
Tuesday, April 19th, 2011
In any web hosting there are many parties involved. There is a customer, a web site host provider, a user, the ISP for the user, the ISP for the customer and the ISP for the entity that has submitted the web hosting review. Each one of them may have a unique ISP or all of them might have the same ISP. Any ISP has the authority the break the circuit and it can stop any connection to the website. Some of these ISPs regularly censor traffic and sometimes they can throttle the traffic depending on the user. ISPs also provide many other services that the web host providers do not provide. For example, an ISP might give you the opportunity to route traffic through a faster route and a fast pipe. Not all ISPs are the same either, there are ISPs that serve the end customer and there are ISPs that connect these ISPs. It is good to understand the ISP contracts before deciding on a web site hosting provider.
