Best Hosting

There are different varieties of hosting services suitable for different sites in relation to the resources or the hosting environment they need. To pick the most suitable hosting service for your web page, you have to reckon what server-side software it requires, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be met.

Shared website hosting - Positive Sides

The most optimal alternative for small web portals with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which reduces the overall price per client significantly. There are various web hosting accounts differing from one web hosting firm to another, offering different quotas of server storage and monthly traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can purchase an account that will have the features your site actually needs. You will not have to pay lots of cash for an account you will not use, or end up with a small account that cannot host the web portal. We, at Website Hosting, offer a large choice of hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business pages that even come with pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you commence with a less powerful package and you need more features, moving to a more powerful account requires just a mouse click.

Shared Hosting - Negative Sides

A drawback of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install additional software applications. Specific websites, particularly online stores, require software applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can activate only software programs that do not demand full server root access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For portals that request complete root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of visitors per day, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated web server and it performs in absolutely the same manner.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both solutions generally come with complete server root access and can be restarted through a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Just like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting accounts sport different specs depending on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A VPS server hosting plan contains guaranteed server storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for short intervals of time if there are free resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A Virtual Private Server is simpler to tackle as it comes with a virtualization console, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, check stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by qualified clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, given hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated server management procedures instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra option.
