Quality Hosting

There are different kinds of hosting plans suitable for different web portals in regard to the resources or the hosting platform they require. To pick the most suitable hosting service for your site, you need to judge what server-side software programs it requires, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Privileges

The most suitable option for small sites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of hosting, each client pays only for their account, which reduces the overall price per individual drastically. There are different web hosting plans differing from one hosting company to another, offering different quotas of hard disk storage space and monthly traffic, different mail quotas and so on. The plus is that you can pay for a plan that will provide the specs your web portal actually demands. You will not need to pay a lot for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small package that cannot accommodate the web page. We, at Website Hosting, offer an extensive collection of hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business web pages that even include pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you begin with a low priced package and you need more functionalities, moving to a better account involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Weak Points

A weakness of the shared web hosting solution is that the servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Certain web sites, particularly online storefronts, request software applications to be available on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install only software platforms that do not need root-level access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that request full root-level access, or if your site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS web hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it acts in exactly the same way.

VPSs

Both environments typically include full root-level access and can be restarted via a software interface by the client, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Much like the shared website hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting server packages have diverse specs based on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual web hosting server package includes guaranteed server storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be boosted for brief periods of time in case there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A private virtual web server is simpler to handle as it comes with a virtualization panel, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, monitor stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be utilized by skilled users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Yet, some web hosting vendors offer managed dedicated hosting solutions where they implement hosting server management tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional option.

Before You Reach a Decision...

Opting for the top hosting package is important as it can influence the proper operation of a web site.
