Best Hosting

There are different kinds of hosting accounts suitable for different web pages in terms of the system resources or the hosting environment they need. To select the most optimal hosting service for your web portal, you must judge what server-side software programs it demands, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be covered.

Shared Web Hosting - Benefits

The most suitable alternative for small scale web sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of webspace hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall cost per customer markedly. There are diverse web hosting solutions differing from one web hosting provider to another, furnishing different amounts of hard disk space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for an account that will provide the resources your web page in fact demands. You will not need to pay a lot for an account you will not avail of, or end up with a small size package that cannot accommodate the site. We, at HostFraser.com, offer a wide array of hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business web sites that even offer pre-activated script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you commence with a low grade account and you demand more resources, moving to a more powerful package demands only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Minuses

A shortcoming of the shared website hosting environment is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate additional software programs. Some websites, particularly online stores, need software applications to be present on the web hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate solely software programs that do not request root access.

VPSs and Dedicated Web Servers

For portals that require complete server root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even millions of daily visitors, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated package. A private virtual hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it works in a strictly identical manner.

VPS Servers

Both environments generally provide complete server root access and can be restarted through a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Akin to the shared hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting server packages sport diverse functionalities based on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS hosting server account includes guaranteed disk storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be extended for brief spells of time on condition that there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is simpler to manage as it arrives with a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, check statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be used by practiced users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, certain web hosts offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they complete hosting server management operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.

Prior To Opting...

Opting for the top hosting plan is vital as it can influence the stable operation of a web site. Prior to choosing a package, compare the pros and cons, survey thoroughly all the prerequisites for the website to run properly, especially if it is script-powered.
