Best Web Hosting

There are different kinds of web hosting services suitable for different web sites when it comes to the resources or the web hosting platform they require. To select the best web hosting service for your website, you need to evaluate what server-side software programs it needs, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Positive Aspects

The best option for small size web sites with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which diminishes the total price per person drastically. There are various web hosting plans differing from one web hosting corporation to another, offering different amounts of storage space and web traffic, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can get a package that will include the features your web page indeed needs. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot host the online portal. We, at iwebclouds Hosting, offer a vast assortment of web hosting packages suitable for personal or small business web pages that even include pre-installed script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a less powerful plan and you demand more functionalities, moving to a better account demands just a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Disadvantages

A weak side of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install new software. Given online portals, especially online stores, request software applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can install solely software that does not request root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For sites that request complete server root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of visitors per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS web hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it functions in exactly the same manner.

VPS Servers

Both solutions usually offer root-level access and can be restarted through a software program by the user, independently from the web hosting company. Much like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting packages come with different specifications based on what the web hosting vendor offers. A private virtual server hosting package includes guaranteed data space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for short intervals of time if there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A virtual web hosting server is easier to handle as it arrives with a virtualization panel, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, check stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be resorted to by trained customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, certain providers provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they run web server administration assignments on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an extra service.

Prior To Electing...

Settling on the top hosting plan is vital as it can have an influence on the proper performance of a web site. Before picking an account, compare the pros and cons, inspect carefully all the prerequisites for the web portal to operate properly, especially if it is script-driven.
