Top Web Hosting

There are different kinds of web hosting accounts suitable for different websites in terms of the resources or the web hosting environment they need. To pick the most adequate web hosting service for your website, you have to evaluate what server-side software programs it demands, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may have to be satisfied.

Shared Hosting - Upsides

The most appropriate choice for small size websites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of website hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the total cost per customer seriously. There are different web hosting packages varying from one web hosting corporation to another, providing different amounts of data storage and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can purchase a package that will offer the specifications your website indeed requires. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small sized package that cannot host the web page. We, at The Edge of Eternity Networks, offer a big selection of web hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business websites that even include pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you kick off with a cheaper package and you demand more resources, moving to a high-end package requires just a mouse click.

Shared Website Hosting - Downsides

A drawback of the shared website hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software. Specific sites, mainly online storefronts, request applications to be installed on the server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can activate only software programs that do not require server root access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For websites that need complete server root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily visitors, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web server and it acts in absolutely the same way.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both environments commonly come with full server root access and can be restarted through a software program by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server accounts come with diverse characteristics depending on what the web hosting provider offers. A private virtual hosting server plan includes guaranteed data storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be boosted for short intervals of time if there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A private virtual web server is easier to cope with as it arrives with a virtualization platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, check statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by trained customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, some web hosting companies offer managed dedicated hosting services where they carry out server administration assignments instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra feature.
