Quality Hosting

There are different sorts of hosting solutions suitable for different web pages when it comes to the resources or the hosting environment they demand. To select the most adequate hosting service for your web portal, you need to judge what server-side software it demands, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Dividends

The best choice for small sized web sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of web hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which decreases the total cost per customer drastically. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one provider to another, providing different quotas of server storage space and bandwidth, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can buy a package that will have the features your web portal indeed demands. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not make use of, or end up with a small account that cannot host the site. We, at DomainsVM, offer a big assortment of hosting packages suitable for personal or small business web sites that even come with pre-installed script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you begin with a basic package and you require more functionalities, moving to a more powerful plan requires only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Minuses

A drawback of the shared web hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate additional software programs. Some web pages, above all online stores, require software applications to be present on the server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can activate only software applications that do not demand complete root-level access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For portals that need root-level access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of daily hits, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS web server is a software emulation of a dedicated server and it works in a precisely identical way.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both environments traditionally provide full server root access and can be restarted through a software program by the client, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Much like the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated hosting plans come with diverse features depending on what the web hosting supplier offers. A private virtual web server hosting account has guaranteed web space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be boosted for short spans of time on condition that there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A Virtual Private Server is easier to handle as it ships with virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, explore stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by tech-savvy customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, given providers offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated server administration assignments on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional option.
