Top Website Hosting

There are different sorts of website hosting plans suitable for different sites in terms of the resources or the website hosting environment they need. To select the most relevant website hosting service for your online portal, you must access what server-side software programs it demands, how many visits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be covered.

Shared website hosting - Assets

The most suitable choice for small sized online portals with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of web space hosting, each client pays only for their account, which lowers the overall cost per customer considerably. There are different web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting supplier to another, delivering different quotas of web storage space and monthly traffic, different mail address account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can buy a plan that will provide the specifications your web site actually demands. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a plan you will not utilize, or end up with a small plan that cannot accommodate the web page. We, at Host Diversity, offer a huge collection of website hosting accounts suitable for private or small business web portals that even include pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you start with a low grade package and you need more features, moving to a better plan involves only a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Downsides

A weakness of the shared website hosting solution is that the servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install additional software applications. Certain websites, particularly online storefronts, require software applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can activate solely software programs that do not request full root-level access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For online portals that demand root-level access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of viewers per day, what you need is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A Virtual Private Server is a software emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it runs in precisely the same way.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both environments usually come with full root privileges and can be rebooted via a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Like the shared hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting server plans have different features based on what the hosting vendor offers. A virtual server package offers guaranteed web storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be increased for short intervals of time in case there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A Virtual Private Server is easier to handle as it comes with a virtualization software platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be used by competent customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, given providers offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated web server management operations instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra option.
