Top Web Hosting

There are various kinds of web hosting plans suitable for different web portals when it comes to the resources or the web hosting environment they require. To choose the most adequate web hosting service for your online portal, you have to evaluate what server-side software applications it needs, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be met.

Shared website hosting - Perquisites

The most optimal alternative for small scale websites with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of hosting, each user pays only for their account, which reduces the total price per client substantially. There are different web hosting packages varying from one hosting vendor to another, supplying different quotas of storage space and monthly traffic, different mail quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can pay for a package that will provide the specs your website indeed demands. You will not have to pay lots of money for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small account that cannot host the online portal. We, at Speedi Hosts, offer a huge variety of web hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business web sites that even provide pre-installed script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you begin with a low grade account and you demand more system resources, moving to a better plan requires just a click.

Shared Web Hosting - Disadvantages

A weakness of the shared website hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software applications. Given web portals, particularly online storefronts, request applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate solely software applications that do not demand complete root access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web sites that need full root-level access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visits, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A Virtual Private Server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it functions in a precisely identical manner.

VPS Servers

Both services typically provide root privileges and can be rebooted through a software tool by the client, independently from the web hosting company. Just like the shared hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting server accounts involve different characteristics based on what the web hosting company offers. A virtual web hosting server plan contains guaranteed disk storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for short stretches of time provided that there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A VPS hosting server is simpler to administer as it comes with a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, explore statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be utilized by proficient users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Yet, given hosting companies offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they execute dedicated web hosting server administration assignments on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional upgrade.
