Top Web Hosting

There are different types of web hosting services suitable for different sites in terms of the resources or the web hosting platform they need. To choose the best web hosting service for your site, you must access what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may need to be met.

Shared Web Hosting - Positive Signs

The most appropriate choice for small sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this type of site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which lowers the overall price per person significantly. There are diverse web hosting plans varying from one hosting vendor to another, providing different quotas of storage space and web traffic, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can order an account that will offer the features your web page indeed demands. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for an account you will not utilize, or end up with a small scale plan that cannot shelter the web portal. We, at Hepsia, offer a vast choice of web hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business portals that even offer pre-installed script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you commence with a low priced package and you demand more system resources, upgrading to a high-end plan requires just a mouse click.

Shared Web Hosting - Negative Signs

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting environment is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install additional software applications. Some online portals, above all web stores, request applications to be present on the web hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared hosting environment, you can activate solely software programs that do not require root-level access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web portals that need full server root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual web server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it works in an absolutely identical manner.

Virtual Servers

Both services traditionally come with full root-level access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the user, independently from the web hosting provider. Analogous to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server hosting packages come with diverse features based on what the hosting vendor offers. A virtual hosting server package includes guaranteed disk storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for short periods of time on condition that there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A virtual web hosting server is simpler to administer as it includes virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be used by proficient users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, certain web hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they execute server administration procedures instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional service.

Before You Decide...

Settling on the top hosting package is vital as it can have an influence on the proper operation of a website. Prior to choosing a plan, compare the pros and cons, investigate completely all the prerequisites for the web site to run properly, especially if it is script-driven.
