Quality Website Hosting

There are various sorts of website hosting solutions suitable for different web portals in relation to the resources or the website hosting environment they need. To choose the most optimal website hosting service for your web portal, you must estimate what server-side software it demands, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may need to be covered.

Shared website hosting - Strong Points

The most adequate option for small sized online portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web space hosting, each user pays only for their account, which lowers the total price per user noticeably. There are different web hosting plans varying from one web hosting firm to another, furnishing different quotas of hard disk storage space and web traffic, different mail quotas and so on. The good point is that you can order a package that will offer the specifications your web page really requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small package that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at A Plus Web, offer a vast choice of website hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business web pages that even include pre-installed script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you kick off with a low grade plan and you need more resources, moving to a more feature-rich package takes just a mouse click.

Shared Website Hosting - Downsides

A negative aspect of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software platforms. Some web portals, particularly web shops, demand applications to be activated on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting platform, you can activate solely software applications that do not request complete server root access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Servers

For websites that require root access, or if your site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A private virtual web hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated web server and it functions in strictly the same way.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers

Both environments traditionally give full root-level access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the user, independently from the web hosting company. Like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting server accounts sport different specifications depending on what the hosting company offers. A private virtual server hosting account has guaranteed storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be increased for short intervals of time in case there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A private virtual web server is easier to run as it includes virtualization software, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, explore statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by practiced customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, given hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated server hosting services where they execute server administration operations instead of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra upgrade.
