Best Hosting

There are various kinds of hosting accounts appropriate for different web sites with regard to the resources or the hosting platform they demand. To pick the most adequate hosting service for your web portal, you must evaluate what server-side software it demands, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be satisfied.

Shared Website Hosting - Perks

The most proper choice for small sized sites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall cost per person markedly. There are diverse web hosting plans differing from one company to another, providing different amounts of storage space and bandwidth, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can get a plan that will offer the specifications your web page really requires. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a package you will not avail of, or wind up with a small sized plan that cannot host the website. We, at DomainsVM, offer a wide collection of hosting packages suitable for private or small business web sites that even include pre-installed script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you begin with a low-cost plan and you demand more resources, moving to a more powerful package involves just a click.

Shared Web Hosting - Weaknesses

A negative aspect of the shared hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install additional software. Some websites, mainly web stores, request software applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can activate only software applications that do not need root access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web pages that demand full root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual web hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated machine and it functions in exactly the same manner.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers

Both platforms commonly include full root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the client, autonomously from the hosting provider. Just like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated hosting server packages include different functionalities based on what the hosting company has to offer. A VPS hosting server plan includes guaranteed server storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for brief spells of time in case there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be revved up by changing or appending components. A virtual web server is easier to manage as it comprises virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, explore statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such a package would rather be used by trained users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, some companies offer managed dedicated web server hosting services where they carry out server administration procedures instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional service.
