Top Web Hosting

There are various kinds of web hosting plans suitable for different websites when it comes to the system resources or the web hosting environment they need. To select the most adequate web hosting service for your online portal, you must estimate what server-side software programs it needs, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Perks

The most relevant option for small scale websites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which lowers the overall cost per user drastically. There are various web hosting plans differing from one hosting firm to another, offering different quotas of server space and bandwidth, different mail quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can obtain a package that will offer the resources your web portal in fact demands. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a package you will not make use of, or end up with a small scale package that cannot host the web page. We, at Super Cheap Host, offer a great assortment of web hosting solutions suitable for private or small business web pages that even offer pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a basic package and you require more features, upgrading to a more feature-rich plan requires only a click.

Shared Hosting - Negative Signs

A shortcoming of the shared website hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install additional software programs. Some websites, chiefly web storefronts, need applications to be present on the server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting package, you can activate only software programs that do not need full root access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that require complete root-level access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual server is a software imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it operates in an absolutely identical manner.

Virtual Web Servers

Both environments generally come with complete root access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the user, independently from the web hosting company. Analogous to the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server web hosting plans involve different features depending on what the hosting provider has to offer. A Virtual Private Server web hosting package has guaranteed hard disk space, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be extended for short spans of time if there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A virtual private web hosting server is simpler to cope with as it arrives with virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be utilized by knowledgeable users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, given web hosting providers offer managed dedicated hosting services where they carry out dedicated web hosting server management tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an extra upgrade.

Before You Opt...
