Quality Hosting

There are different varieties of hosting accounts suitable for different sites when it comes to the resources or the hosting environment they need. To select the most adequate hosting service for your website, you must estimate what server-side software programs it demands, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared website hosting - Dividends

The most adequate alternative for small scale web portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which decreases the total price per client drastically. There are diverse web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting supplier to another, providing different quotas of storage space and bandwidth, different mail quotas and so on. The plus is that you can order a plan that will include the resources your web site in fact demands. You will not need to pay a lot of money for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot host the web page. We, at VillpressHost, offer a huge variety of hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business portals that even include pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you start with a cheaper account and you need more functionalities, upgrading to a more powerful package takes only a click.

Shared website hosting - Drawbacks

A weakness of the shared website hosting platform is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install additional software applications. Specific web pages, mainly online storefronts, demand software applications to be available on the server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting account, you can activate solely software platforms that do not demand full root access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For online portals that request complete server root access, or if your website has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated package. A private virtual hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web server and it functions in a precisely identical manner.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both services traditionally provide root privileges and can be restarted via a software interface by the user, autonomously from the web hosting company. Like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated hosting server plans come with diverse specs depending on what the hosting company offers. A private virtual web server plan has guaranteed web storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be expanded for brief stretches of time in case there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware it is using, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A Virtual Private Server is simpler to administer as it ships with a virtualization platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, examine statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a package would rather be used by competent customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, certain web hosting providers provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they perform dedicated server management operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra option.

Prior To Electing...

Selecting the top hosting plan is crucial as it can affect the stable work of a web portal. Before opting for a package, compare the pros and cons, study carefully all the preconditions for the web portal to operate properly, especially if it is script-based.
