Top Website Hosting

There are various types of website hosting services appropriate for different web portals when it comes to the system resources or the website hosting platform they demand. To pick the most relevant website hosting service for your web page, you need to judge what server-side software applications it needs, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared website hosting - Positive Signs

The most adequate option for small scale web pages with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall cost per person markedly. There are different web hosting packages differing from one web hosting firm to another, furnishing different amounts of disk storage space and monthly bandwidth, different mail account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can pay for a plan that will have the features your online portal indeed needs. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a package you will not utilize, or wind up with a small sized plan that cannot shelter the web page. We, at VastGIG, offer an extensive selection of website hosting plans appropriate for private or small business websites that even offer pre-installed script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you kick off with a low-price package and you require more functionalities, upgrading to a more advanced account involves just a click.

Shared Hosting - Weak Sides

A disadvantage of the shared hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate new software. Some sites, particularly online stores, request applications to be installed on the web server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can install solely software that does not request full root-level access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web portals that need root access, or if your portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A VPS web hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it acts in an exactly identical way.

Virtual Servers

Both solutions normally give full server root access and can be restarted via a software tool by the client, autonomously from the hosting company. Similar to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web hosting server packages come with diverse specifications based on what the web hosting company offers. A VPS web server plan contains guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be extended for brief spans of time if there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A virtual server is easier to cope with as it offers a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, examine statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be used by trained clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, some hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated hosting services where they perform dedicated hosting server management tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional feature.

Prior To Opting...

Opting for the top hosting plan is vital as it can have an influence on the proper operation of a web portal. Prior to opting for an account, compare the pros and cons, investigate carefully all the requirements for the web portal to perform properly, especially if it is script-driven.
