Top Web Hosting

There are different varieties of web hosting solutions suitable for different websites when it comes to the system resources or the web hosting platform they need. To choose the most relevant web hosting service for your web portal, you must reckon what server-side software programs it requires, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared website hosting - Assets

The most suitable choice for small size online portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this type of hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total cost per customer seriously. There are different web hosting accounts differing from one hosting corporation to another, supplying different amounts of web storage space and bandwidth, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can order a package that will include the specifications your web site actually demands. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not utilize, or wind up with a small sized plan that cannot host the web site. We, at The Edge of Eternity Networks, offer a great collection of web hosting plans suitable for personal or small business web sites that even include pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you begin with a low priced account and you require more features, upgrading to a more feature-rich account involves just a click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Points

A downside of the shared web hosting solution is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate new software programs. Some online portals, particularly web shops, demand software applications to be present on the server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install only software programs that do not need full server root access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that require full server root access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it works in strictly the same way.

VPS Servers

Both solutions generally give server root access and can be rebooted through a software program by the user, autonomously from the hosting provider. Similar to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting server accounts sport different characteristics based on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual private web hosting server account offers guaranteed data storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be expanded for short stretches of time in case there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A virtual private web server is simpler to handle as it includes a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be utilized by skilled customers.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, some providers provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they execute dedicated web server management assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra upgrade.

Before You Elect...

Opting for the top hosting package is important as it can have an effect on the proper operation of a site.
