Quality Hosting

There are various types of hosting solutions suitable for different web pages in terms of the system resources or the hosting platform they demand. To pick the best hosting service for your web site, you must reckon what server-side software it demands, how many daily hits you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared Website Hosting - Perquisites

The most adequate alternative for small size online portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which diminishes the total price per client significantly. There are different web hosting packages differing from one web hosting corporation to another, furnishing different quotas of server storage and bandwidth, different mail quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can buy an account that will include the features your online portal actually requires. You will not need to pay plenty of cash for an account you will not avail of, or end up with a small plan that cannot accommodate the website. We, at WebCenter Hosting, offer a vast selection of hosting solutions suitable for private or small business portals that even provide pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you begin with a low-end plan and you require more resources, moving to a more powerful package involves only a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Inconveniences

A negative aspect of the shared website hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install new software platforms. Some web portals, particularly online shops, need software applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting account, you can activate only software that does not need server root access.

VPS Servers and Dedicated Servers

For portals that require complete server root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated package. A Virtual Private Server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it runs in precisely the same manner.

VPSs

Both services commonly provide complete server root access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the client, autonomously from the hosting provider. Just like the shared website hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated hosting accounts include diverse specifications depending on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual private hosting server plan contains guaranteed data storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief spells of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A private virtual server is easier to cope with as it includes a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such a solution would rather be used by knowledgeable customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, certain web hosting vendors offer managed dedicated web server hosting services where they complete server administration procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra upgrade.

Before You Choose...

Opting for the top hosting package is important as it can have an influence on the proper operation of a web page. Before selecting a plan, compare the pros and cons, study completely all the prerequisites for the site to work properly, especially if it is script-driven.
