Reseller hosting is a service where the user have a share of a dedicated server, no matter what the platform is,  can resell it’s own hosting plans, create it’s own disk space and bandwidth limitations, account permissions, quotas, features and more. It’s like having your own hosting company.

There are shared servers so that the User has its own hosting company without the need to hire a dedicated server with high prices, which are mostly paid in U.S. dollars and also, without the need of higher learning as administrators, because these servers are pre-configured by the company.

HostGator FTP Review

What is FTP?

The File Transfer Protocol (or undocumented means of file transfer processes “, in short, FTP) is an in RFC 959 in 1985 specified network protocol for transferring files over TCP / IP networks. FTP is located in the application layer (layer 7) of the OSI model. It is used to retrieve files from the server (for client download), from the client) to server (upload or clientgesteuert transmitted between two terminals. In addition to using FTP to create directories and read out as well as directories and files renamed or deleted.

The FTP control and data used for each separate connections: An FTP session begins by (from the client to the server’s control port to the default port to port 21) a TCP connection is established. Through this connection commands are sent to the server. The server responds to each command with a status code, often with an attached explanatory text. Most commands are permitted but only after a successful authentication.

For the data transmission process FTP client is needed, which can be also found in many browsers. The client sends FTP commands to the server, which are defined by the RFCs that make up the FTP. To distinguish which are the commands for the operating system belonging to the terminal client “ftp”, see also the terminal FTP client. WebFTP is a service provided by Web servers service that provides access to FTP server via HTTP. As an example of the syntax of an ftp address in the browser: ftp://ftp_username:ftp_PWD @ ServerName
Popular other FTP client is FileZilla.

FTP is very fast on HostGator. You can easily create new accounts and specify quota (how much MegaBytes can be stored or transferred) and permissions for directories and files.
