Top Hosting

There are different types of hosting accounts appropriate for different web sites with regard to the resources or the hosting platform they demand. To pick the most relevant hosting service for your web site, you have to evaluate what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared Website Hosting - Benefits

The most optimal option for small size websites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall cost per customer significantly. There are diverse web hosting plans differing from one web hosting supplier to another, furnishing different amounts of hard disk space and bandwidth, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can pay for a plan that will offer the specs your website in fact needs. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small size account that cannot shelter the online portal. We, at HostWorldServices, offer a wide variety of hosting packages suitable for private or small business pages that even provide pre-installed script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you kick off with a low priced plan and you require more features, moving to a better account involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Disadvantages

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting platform is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate new software programs. Certain online portals, chiefly web shops, require applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared hosting environment, you can install only software platforms that do not demand complete root-level access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web portals that need full server root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated server and it operates in absolutely the same manner.

Virtual Private Servers

Both solutions generally come with full server root access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the user, independently from the hosting provider. Much like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web server hosting plans involve diverse characteristics based on what the web hosting company has to offer. A VPS web server account contains guaranteed web storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be increased for brief periods of time if there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A VPS web hosting server is easier to run as it ships with a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, check statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be utilized by competent clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, given providers offer managed dedicated hosting solutions where they execute web hosting server management tasks instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an extra feature.
