Quality Web Hosting

There are various varieties of web hosting accounts appropriate for different web portals in terms of the resources or the web hosting platform they need. To pick the most proper web hosting service for your online portal, you need to reckon what server-side software programs it requires, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Positive Aspects

The most relevant alternative for small size web pages with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall price per client drastically. There are diverse web hosting accounts varying from one company to another, delivering different amounts of web storage space and monthly bandwidth, different email address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can obtain a plan that will include the specs your site in fact demands. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not utilize, or end up with a small size plan that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at Hosting Hub, offer a big collection of web hosting packages appropriate for private or small business portals that even come with pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you start with a low-cost package and you require more functionalities, upgrading to a more feature-rich plan involves only a click.

Shared website hosting - Disadvantages

A drawback of the shared website hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate new software applications. Some web pages, particularly web stores, require software applications to be available on the server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can install solely software programs that do not demand complete root access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that demand complete root access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of daily visits, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual private web hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it acts in strictly the same way.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both services typically offer full root privileges and can be rebooted via a software interface by the user, independently from the hosting provider. Analogous to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server hosting accounts contain different functionalities based on what the hosting company has to offer. A Virtual Private Server web hosting package contains guaranteed data space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be extended for short stretches of time provided that there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A Virtual Private Server is easier to cope with as it involves a virtualization panel, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, examine statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such a package would rather be used by proficient customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, certain hosting providers offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they execute dedicated web server administration tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra feature.

Prior To Electing...

Settling on the top hosting package is vital as it can have an effect on the stable performance of a online portal.
