Best Web Hosting

There are various types of web hosting accounts suitable for different web sites in regard to the resources or the web hosting platform they require. To pick the most suitable web hosting service for your online portal, you have to judge what server-side software it demands, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be met.

Shared Hosting - Virtues

The best option for small size web portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of webspace hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which decreases the overall price per client drastically. There are various web hosting packages differing from one hosting supplier to another, delivering different quotas of hard disk storage space and web traffic, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can get a package that will provide the resources your site actually requires. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small plan that cannot shelter the web page. We, at Linux Hosts Inc., offer an immense variety of web hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business portals that even provide pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you commence with a basic package and you need more resources, moving to a high-end package involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Inconveniences

A weakness of the shared hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install additional software applications. Certain sites, above all online stores, need software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can activate solely software that does not need complete root access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For sites that require full server root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual private hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web server and it functions in a precisely identical manner.

VPS Web Servers

Both solutions generally provide root-level access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Similar to the shared website hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting plans come with diverse functionalities depending on what the web hosting company offers. A virtual server plan includes guaranteed disk storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for brief intervals of time if there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A Virtual Private Server is easier to cope with as it comes with a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, explore stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be used by practiced clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, certain companies provide managed dedicated hosting services where they perform dedicated server administration assignments on behalf of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra upgrade.
