Top Web Hosting
There are various sorts of web hosting solutions appropriate for different web portals in terms of the resources or the web hosting platform they require. To select the most appropriate web hosting service for your web site, you need to calculate what server-side software programs it needs, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be answered.
Shared website hosting - Good Points
The most proper alternative for small size web pages with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web space hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which minimizes the overall cost per client substantially. There are diverse web hosting plans varying from one host to another, delivering different amounts of web storage and bandwidth, different mail account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can obtain an account that will have the features your site in fact requires. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a package you will not make use of, or end up with a small size account that cannot shelter the site. We, at WebMediaHosting, offer an enormous assortment of web hosting accounts suitable for private or small business sites that even come with pre-activated script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a less powerful plan and you demand more features, moving to a better account requires just a click of the mouse.
Shared web hosting - Drawbacks
A weak side of the shared website hosting environment is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install additional software platforms. Given online portals, mainly web stores, require software applications to be available on the web server for them to run, and with a shared hosting package, you can install solely software platforms that do not require server root access.
Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Servers
For sites that request complete root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual web server is a software imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it operates in exactly the same way.
VPS Web Servers
Both services usually come with server root access and can be restarted via a software tool by the customer, independently from the web hosting company. Analogous to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting plans have diverse characteristics based on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A private virtual server hosting package offers guaranteed data storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for short spells of time provided that there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is easier to tackle as it comes with virtualization software, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, explore stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be utilized by skilled clients.
Dedicated Servers
Nevertheless, certain web hosts provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they implement dedicated web server management operations instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional upgrade.
