Best Website Hosting

There are various varieties of website hosting plans appropriate for different web portals in terms of the system resources or the website hosting platform they require. To choose the most appropriate website hosting service for your web portal, you must estimate what server-side software applications it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may have to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Pluses

The best alternative for small websites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this form of website hosting, each user pays only for their account, which reduces the overall cost per user substantially. There are diverse web hosting plans differing from one web hosting supplier to another, providing different amounts of disk storage space and web traffic, different email address account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can buy a package that will offer the features your web page in fact requires. You will not have to pay lots of cash for a package you will not avail of, or end up with a small account that cannot host the website. We, at Host Diversity, offer an extensive array of website hosting solutions suitable for private or small business portals that even come with pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you begin with a low priced account and you demand more system resources, moving to a better package demands only a click.

Shared website hosting - Drawbacks

A negative side of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install new software. Certain online portals, above all online stores, demand software applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting package, you can activate solely software platforms that do not demand complete server root access.

VPS Servers and Dedicated Servers

For portals that demand full root access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily visitors, what you need is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A VPS server is a software emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it acts in strictly the same way.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms normally provide complete root access and can be rebooted through a software platform by the user, independently from the web hosting provider. Like the shared hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting packages have diverse specs based on what the hosting company offers. A private virtual server hosting package offers guaranteed data space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be increased for short spans of time on condition that there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A VPS web hosting server is simpler to administer as it involves virtualization software, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such an account would rather be utilized by proficient users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Still, certain hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they execute hosting server management tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.

Prior To Choosing...

Settling on the top hosting package is important as it can affect the stable functioning of a online portal. Before selecting an account, weigh the pros and cons, inspect completely all the requirements for the site to function properly, especially if it is script-powered.
