Top Hosting

There are various kinds of hosting packages appropriate for different web pages in terms of the resources or the hosting platform they need. To choose the most optimal hosting service for your web page, you need to reckon what server-side software it needs, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may need to be answered.

Shared Hosting - Benefits

The most appropriate alternative for small sized web portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this type of site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the overall cost per client critically. There are different web hosting solutions differing from one web hosting supplier to another, providing different amounts of hard disk space and bandwidth, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can order an account that will have the specs your website really requires. You will not need to pay a lot for a package you will not utilize, or wind up with a small sized account that cannot host the web site. We, at TheDedicatedHosting.com, offer an enormous array of hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business portals that even include pre-installed script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you begin with a cheaper account and you need more functionalities, upgrading to a high-end plan involves only a click.

Shared web hosting - Downsides

A negative side of the shared website hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install additional software programs. Certain web sites, chiefly online storefronts, need software applications to be present on the server for them to function, and with a shared hosting account, you can activate solely software programs that do not require full root access.

VPSs and Dedicated Web Servers

For web sites that require complete root-level access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of daily viewers, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A Virtual Private Server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it runs in an absolutely identical way.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both services usually come with root privileges and can be rebooted via a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the hosting company. Much like the shared hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated server packages have diverse functionalities depending on what the web hosting company has to offer. A private virtual hosting server plan includes guaranteed web space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be expanded for brief stretches of time on condition that there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A virtual private web hosting server is simpler to run as it arrives with a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be resorted to by practiced users.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, certain hosting vendors provide managed dedicated web hosting services where they complete web hosting server administration assignments instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an extra upgrade.
