Quality Web Hosting

There are different types of web hosting solutions appropriate for different websites in terms of the system resources or the web hosting platform they need. To select the most appropriate web hosting service for your web page, you must evaluate what server-side software it demands, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be answered.

Shared Website Hosting - Strong Points

The most relevant option for small scale web portals with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall price per client substantially. There are different web hosting accounts differing from one web hosting company to another, delivering different amounts of server storage and monthly traffic, different mail quotas and so on. The good point is that you can pay for a package that will provide the resources your online portal really demands. You will not need to pay a lot of money for an account you will not use, or end up with a small account that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at World Hosting, offer an immense collection of web hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business websites that even come with pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you commence with a low priced account and you demand more resources, upgrading to a better account involves just a click.

Shared Web Hosting - Minuses

A negative aspect of the shared website hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install additional software programs. Specific web portals, above all online stores, demand applications to be installed on the web server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can activate solely software platforms that do not demand root-level access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web portals that request full root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of daily visits, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A virtual private web hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated solution and it behaves in an exactly identical manner.

Private Virtual Servers

Both platforms typically come with full root privileges and can be restarted via a software platform by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Similar to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server web hosting packages include diverse functionalities depending on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual server hosting package has guaranteed disk space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be increased for brief spells of time in case there are free resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A virtual web server is simpler to handle as it arrives with a virtualization console, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, check statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be utilized by experienced clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, some hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they execute server management procedures on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra service.
