Quality Web Hosting

There are various kinds of web hosting services appropriate for different web portals in terms of the system resources or the web hosting environment they need. To select the most appropriate web hosting service for your site, you must calculate what server-side software applications it requires, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Positive Signs

The most suitable alternative for small sized web portals with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the total cost per user noticeably. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one web hosting vendor to another, supplying different quotas of hard disk storage and web traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can pay for a plan that will provide the specifications your web portal in fact demands. You will not need to pay plenty of cash for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small plan that cannot host the website. We, at The Edge of Eternity Networks, offer a vast selection of web hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business pages that even come with pre-activated script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you kick off with a less powerful account and you demand more system resources, upgrading to a more powerful package requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Negative Signs

A shortcoming of the shared hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate new software applications. Specific sites, especially online storefronts, need applications to be present on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting platform, you can activate solely software platforms that do not demand root access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web portals that demand complete root-level access, or if your web page has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily visitors, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web server and it acts in an absolutely identical way.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both services commonly come with full server root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the client, autonomously from the hosting company. Just like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting server plans contain diverse specs depending on what the hosting vendor offers. A virtual server web hosting plan contains guaranteed server storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be boosted for brief intervals of time on condition that there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A virtual private web hosting server is simpler to run as it offers virtualization software, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be utilized by trained clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, some web hosting firms offer managed dedicated hosting solutions where they run server management procedures instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an extra feature.

Opting for the top hosting package is essential as it can have an influence on the stable functioning of a web site.
