Top Hosting

There are different sorts of hosting packages suitable for different websites in regard to the system resources or the hosting environment they demand. To select the most proper hosting service for your web portal, you have to judge what server-side software programs it requires, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Positive Aspects

The most suitable option for small sized online portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which lowers the overall cost per user critically. There are various web hosting packages varying from one web hosting company to another, offering different quotas of web space and traffic, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can order a plan that will have the features your online portal really requires. You will not need to pay lots of money for a package you will not avail of, or end up with a small size package that cannot accommodate the web page. We, at Hosting Pine, offer an extensive collection of hosting solutions appropriate for private or small business web portals that even provide pre-installed script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you kick off with a low priced account and you demand more resources, upgrading to a high-end account takes just a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Weaknesses

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting solution is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install new software platforms. Given web pages, mainly web stores, require software applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install only software that does not demand root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that request root-level access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated package. A virtual web hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it performs in an absolutely identical way.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both services typically come with root access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the client, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated web server hosting plans comprise different features based on what the hosting company has to offer. A virtual server hosting plan includes guaranteed web storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can occasionally be extended for brief stretches of time if there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A virtual private hosting server is simpler to manipulate as it comprises a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be utilized by competent clients.

Dedicated Servers

Yet, certain web hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they execute hosting server management tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional feature.

Prior To Deciding...

Picking the top hosting package is crucial as it can influence the proper work of a web portal. Before settling on an account, weigh the pros and cons, review thoroughly all the prerequisites for the online portal to work properly, particularly if it is script-based.
