Top Web Hosting

There are various varieties of web hosting accounts appropriate for different web portals in regard to the resources or the web hosting environment they need. To select the most relevant web hosting service for your online portal, you need to judge what server-side software applications it demands, how many visits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be answered.

Shared Web Hosting - Positive Aspects

The most adequate option for small websites with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the total cost per person drastically. There are various web hosting solutions differing from one web hosting firm to another, offering different amounts of data storage space and monthly traffic, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can obtain a package that will provide the resources your online portal actually requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a package you will not utilize, or wind up with a small size package that cannot accommodate the web page. We, at Web Hosting, offer a vast choice of web hosting packages suitable for personal or small business web pages that even come with pre-activated script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you start with a low-cost package and you demand more features, upgrading to a more advanced plan requires just a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Weak Points

A negative side of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate new software applications. Specific sites, mainly web storefronts, require software applications to be present on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate solely software applications that do not request complete root-level access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web portals that need complete server root access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of viewers per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS is a virtual imitation of a dedicated machine and it operates in absolutely the same manner.

VPSs

Both solutions generally give full root privileges and can be restarted via a software platform by the customer, independently from the hosting supplier. Like the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server hosting packages comprise different specifications depending on what the web hosting supplier offers. A virtual private web server plan includes guaranteed hard disk space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be expanded for short spells of time on condition that there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A private virtual web server is easier to run as it comes with a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, check statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be used by tech-savvy users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nonetheless, given hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated hosting services where they perform dedicated web server administration assignments instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra option.
