Quality Hosting

There are various types of hosting accounts appropriate for different websites in terms of the system resources or the hosting environment they require. To choose the most optimal hosting service for your web page, you need to evaluate what server-side software it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be covered.

Shared website hosting - Benefits

The most appropriate alternative for small sized online portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of website hosting, each client pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall cost per customer drastically. There are various web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting provider to another, furnishing different amounts of disk storage space and monthly traffic, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can pay for a package that will have the specifications your web portal actually requires. You will not have to pay lots of money for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot accommodate the web page. We, at Best Paid Hosting, offer a big selection of hosting packages appropriate for private or small business web portals that even include pre-installed script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you kick off with a cheaper account and you require more features, moving to a high-end plan involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared Website Hosting - Negative Aspects

A weakness of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate new software. Specific web portals, mainly online stores, demand applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install only software applications that do not need full root access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For sites that request complete server root access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily viewers, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A private virtual web hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated machine and it performs in a strictly identical manner.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers

Both platforms traditionally give full root access and can be restarted through a software platform by the user, autonomously from the hosting provider. Similar to the shared hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated hosting packages have different specifications depending on what the hosting company has to offer. A virtual server web hosting package contains guaranteed data storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be boosted for brief spans of time in case there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A virtual hosting server is easier to administer as it includes a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, check stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such an account would rather be used by proficient users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, given hosts provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they execute web hosting server management procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an additional upgrade.
