Best Web Hosting

There are different varieties of web hosting packages suitable for different web portals in regard to the resources or the web hosting environment they require. To pick the most appropriate web hosting service for your website, you have to judge what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be satisfied.

Shared website hosting - Perks

The most optimal choice for small size sites with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the total price per customer critically. There are diverse web hosting plans varying from one hosting company to another, supplying different amounts of disk space and web traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can obtain a package that will have the specs your web page really demands. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a package you will not avail of, or end up with a small sized package that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at Domain Host Pro, offer a wide choice of web hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business web portals that even come with pre-activated script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you start with a basic plan and you demand more features, upgrading to a more feature-rich plan requires only a click.

Shared Web Hosting - Negative Sides

A negative side of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate new software. Certain online portals, mainly web storefronts, demand software applications to be present on the server for them to function, and with a shared hosting platform, you can activate only software platforms that do not require full root-level access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web portals that request complete root access, or if your web site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A virtual web server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated server and it operates in precisely the same way.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both platforms typically offer root privileges and can be rebooted through a software platform by the client, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Similar to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web server plans comprise diverse characteristics depending on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual web server account has guaranteed hard disk storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for short periods of time on condition that there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A virtual private web hosting server is easier to handle as it arrives with a virtualization platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more complex, so such an account would rather be used by knowledgeable users.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, some web hosting providers provide managed dedicated web hosting services where they implement dedicated server administration assignments instead of the client. This can be a part of plan or an additional service.
