Quality Web Hosting

There are different kinds of web hosting packages suitable for different web portals in terms of the resources or the web hosting environment they require. To select the best web hosting service for your website, you have to evaluate what server-side software applications it requires, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Good Points

The most adequate option for small size online portals with several 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 price per user significantly. There are different web hosting plans differing from one hosting firm to another, providing different quotas of hard disk space and bandwidth, different mail address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can buy a package that will have the specifications your site really needs. You will not need to pay a lot for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small scale plan that cannot host the web page. We, at InfoGatet Hosting, offer a large variety of web hosting packages appropriate for private or small business web sites that even provide pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a low grade package and you demand more system resources, moving to a more advanced package takes only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Minuses

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting solution is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software. Some sites, especially web shops, request software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can activate only software platforms that do not need complete server root access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that demand complete root access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visitors, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS web server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated machine and it behaves in precisely the same way.

Virtual Servers

Both environments commonly offer full root-level access and can be restarted through a software tool by the client, independently from the hosting supplier. Similar to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server accounts include diverse features depending on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A Virtual Private Server web hosting plan includes guaranteed web space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be expanded for brief intervals of time provided that there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A VPS hosting server is easier to administer as it arrives with a virtualization console, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a package would rather be resorted to by skilled customers.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, some hosting vendors provide managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they complete web server management assignments on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra service.

Prior To Opting...

Selecting the top hosting plan is crucial as it can have an influence on the proper operation of a website. Before settling on a package, compare the pros and cons, inspect thoroughly all the prerequisites for the online portal to operate properly, especially if it is script-driven.
