Quality Web Hosting

There are various kinds of web hosting accounts suitable for different web portals when it comes to the system resources or the web hosting environment they need. To pick the most optimal web hosting service for your site, you need to estimate what server-side software programs it demands, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Strong Points

The most relevant alternative for small sized web portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web space hosting, each user pays only for their account, which lowers the total price per person seriously. There are diverse web hosting plans differing from one web hosting vendor to another, furnishing different quotas of hard disk space and traffic, different email quotas and so on. The good point is that you can order a plan that will have the features your website in fact requires. You will not have to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not utilize, or end up with a small scale package that cannot host the web page. We, at The Host Office, offer a large choice of web hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business pages that even come with pre-installed script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you kick off with a low grade package and you demand more functionalities, upgrading to a more feature-rich package requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Disadvantages

A shortcoming of the shared website hosting platform is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot install new software programs. Certain online portals, particularly web storefronts, request applications to be available on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can install only software programs that do not need root-level access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For websites that demand complete root-level access, or if your web page has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A VPS is a virtual imitation of a dedicated server and it functions in absolutely the same way.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both environments typically come with full server root privileges and can be restarted through a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting server plans contain different characteristics based on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A private virtual hosting server account has guaranteed disk storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be increased for brief spells of time on condition that there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A virtual server is easier to run as it ships with a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be utilized by qualified users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Still, some hosting corporations offer managed dedicated hosting solutions where they complete hosting server administration tasks instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an extra upgrade.
