Best Web Hosting

There are different sorts of web hosting services appropriate for different websites with regard to the system resources or the web hosting platform they demand. To pick the most proper web hosting service for your online portal, you have to evaluate what server-side software applications it demands, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may have to be satisfied.

Shared Website Hosting - Strong Sides

The most adequate alternative for small sized web portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this type of website hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which lowers the overall price per customer noticeably. There are various web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting provider to another, providing different amounts of data space and web traffic, different mail address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can buy an account that will have the specs your online portal indeed needs. You will not have to pay lots of money for a package you will not make use of, or wind up with a small account that cannot accommodate the website. We, at The Edge of Eternity Networks, offer a big assortment of web hosting accounts suitable for private or small business pages that even include pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you start with a basic account and you need more features, moving to a more powerful package involves only a click.

Shared website hosting - Negative Points

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting solution is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install additional software platforms. Given online portals, above all online stores, demand software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting package, you can install solely software programs that do not demand server root access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web sites that demand root access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual web server is a software simulation of a dedicated solution and it runs in precisely the same manner.

VPS Servers

Both platforms traditionally offer complete root-level access and can be restarted via a software platform by the client, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Just like the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting server plans sport different specs based on what the web hosting company offers. A virtual server web hosting package contains guaranteed server storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be expanded for brief periods of time on condition that there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A virtual private web hosting server is easier to cope with as it comes with a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, check stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by experienced users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, given companies offer managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they perform dedicated web server administration operations instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra service.
