Which hosting account will be best for me?

There are various sorts of web hosting packages appropriate for different web sites in relation to the system resources or the web hosting platform they require. To pick the most suitable hosting service for your web portal, you need to estimate what server-side software applications it demands, 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 answered.

Shared Web Page Hosting - Positive Sides

The most proper alternative for small size online portals with a few hundred or a few, each client pays only for their plan, which diminishes the overall cost per user critically. There are different web hosting packages differing from one provider to another, providing different quotas of data storage and monthly bandwidth, different email address account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can buy an account that will have the specs your web site really demands. You will not need to pay plenty of money for an account you will not make use of, or end up with a small size plan that cannot host the website. At Linux Hosts Inc., there is an enormous variety of shared hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business pages that even come with pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you start with a less powerful package and you require more features, upgrading to a better package takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Space Hosting - Negative Sides

A negative aspect of the shared website hosting platform is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate new software applications. Specific web portals, mainly online storefronts, demand applications to be installed on the web server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate solely software applications that do not demand full server root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web sites that request complete root access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual private hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it acts in an exactly identical way.

VPS Web Servers

Both solutions typically give root privileges and can be rebooted through a software program by the client, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared hosting packages, the VPS web server and the dedicated server hosting plans come with diverse functionalities depending on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS web hosting account includes guaranteed server storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be increased for short periods of time provided that there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware it is utilizing, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A private virtual web hosting server is simpler to handle as it comprises a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by proficient clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, given web hosting corporations offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they carry out web hosting server administration assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra option.

Prior To Choosing...

Choosing the top hosting plan is essential as it can influence the stable work of a site. Before choosing a plan, compare the pros and cons, review carefully all the requirements for the site to perform properly, especially if it is script-powered, and, last but not least, if you have already chosen a web hosting company, the best you could do would be to ask their customer support team for a recommendation as to which package exactly would be best for the stable operation of your site.
