Top Hosting

There are different sorts of hosting accounts suitable for different web portals in relation to the resources or the hosting platform they demand. To pick the best hosting service for your web site, you need to access what server-side software it demands, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared Web Hosting - Positive Signs

The most proper alternative for small sized websites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which lowers the overall price per individual significantly. There are various web hosting plans varying from one hosting provider to another, providing different quotas of data space and monthly bandwidth, different mail address account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can order a package that will include the features your online portal in fact needs. You will not need to pay plenty of money for a package you will not make use of, or wind up with a small size package that cannot shelter the web site. We, at Server Cloud Hosting, offer a large selection of hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business pages that even include pre-installed script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a low-cost account and you require more resources, moving to a more feature-rich account demands only a click.

Shared website hosting - Weak Points

A weak side of the shared web hosting environment is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software. Specific online portals, chiefly online shops, require software applications to be available on the web server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can install only software platforms that do not need full server root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that demand complete root access, or if your web page has many thousands or even millions of viewers per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual web hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated machine and it works in precisely the same manner.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both platforms traditionally include full server root privileges and can be restarted via a software interface by the client, independently from the web hosting supplier. Much like the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated server hosting accounts include different functionalities based on what the web hosting vendor offers. A VPS server plan offers guaranteed hard disk space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for short stretches of time if there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A private virtual server is simpler to cope with as it comes with a virtualization console, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, examine statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a package would rather be utilized by proficient clients.

Dedicated Servers

However, certain hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they perform web server administration procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional option.
