Quality Website Hosting

There are different varieties of website hosting accounts appropriate for different web sites when it comes to the system resources or the website hosting environment they require. To pick the most adequate website hosting service for your web portal, you must calculate what server-side software applications it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be covered.

The most adequate choice for small scale sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of website hosting, each client pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall cost per user radically. There are various web hosting packages differing from one web hosting vendor to another, delivering different quotas of data storage space and bandwidth, different email box account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can pay for a package that will include the specifications your site in fact needs. You will not need to pay lots of money for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small size plan that cannot host the site. We, at iHosting, offer an enormous assortment of website hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business portals that even include pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you begin with a low-end plan and you need more system resources, upgrading to a more advanced account demands only a mouse click.

Shared Web Hosting - Minuses

A negative side of the shared web hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install new software platforms. Specific web pages, particularly web shops, require applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can activate only software that does not need root-level access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web pages that require root access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily hits, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A virtual server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated solution and it acts in strictly the same manner.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both platforms normally include complete server root access and can be rebooted via a software tool by the user, autonomously from the hosting provider. Akin to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server packages have diverse characteristics based on what the hosting company offers. A virtual server hosting package contains guaranteed server storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be extended for short stretches of time in case there are free resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A virtual hosting server is simpler to tackle as it includes a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a solution would rather be utilized by experienced customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, some web hosting vendors provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they perform hosting server administration assignments on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an extra upgrade.

Before You Opt...

Choosing the top hosting package is vital as it can have an effect on the proper work of a web portal. Prior to opting for a package, compare the pros and cons, survey completely all the prerequisites for the online portal to work properly, particularly if it is script-powered.
