Top Hosting

There are various types of hosting solutions appropriate for different web sites when it comes to the system resources or the hosting platform they require. To choose the best hosting service for your web page, you have to calculate what server-side software programs it demands, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Virtues

The most optimal option for small size web sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this form of webspace hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total cost per customer considerably. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one hosting corporation to another, providing different quotas of disk space and monthly traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can pay for a package that will provide the resources your online portal really needs. You will not have to pay a lot for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot shelter the site. We, at Cheap Hosted, offer an extensive assortment of hosting plans appropriate for private or small business websites that even provide pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you start with a low-end account and you require more features, moving to a better account requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Negative Aspects

A weak side of the shared website hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install additional software applications. Certain sites, chiefly online shops, request software applications to be present on the hosting server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting account, you can activate solely software programs that do not require complete root-level access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web sites that need server root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even millions of daily visits, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A private virtual web server is a software imitation of a dedicated server and it behaves in precisely the same manner.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers

Both environments usually offer full root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the user, autonomously from the hosting company. Just like the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting plans involve diverse specs based on what the web hosting supplier offers. A VPS web hosting server plan has guaranteed web storage, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be extended for short spans of time provided that there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A private virtual hosting server is simpler to manipulate as it comprises virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, explore statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by experienced users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Still, some web hosting firms provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they implement web hosting server administration operations instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra option.
