Top Hosting

There are different kinds of hosting solutions appropriate for different web sites with regard to the system resources or the hosting environment they demand. To select the best hosting service for your site, you must estimate what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be met.

Shared web hosting - Perquisites

The most proper choice for small web pages with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of website hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall price per person noticeably. There are various web hosting solutions differing from one hosting vendor to another, providing different quotas of web storage space and web traffic, different email address account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can buy a plan that will offer the features your website actually demands. You will not need to pay a lot of cash for a package you will not use, or end up with a small account that cannot shelter the online portal. We, at WebCenter Hosting, offer a wide array of hosting accounts suitable for private or small business pages that even offer pre-activated script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you commence with a low-cost package and you need more features, upgrading to a more advanced package demands only a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Negative Signs

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting solution is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Some web pages, mainly web storefronts, request software applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can install only software that does not request server root access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For sites that need root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of viewers per day, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated package. A virtual hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated server and it works in strictly the same manner.

Private Virtual Servers

Both platforms normally provide full server root access and can be rebooted through a software program by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Just like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated hosting server packages comprise different specs based on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual server package offers guaranteed server space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be enlarged for brief spells of time provided that there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is utilizing, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A VPS web hosting server is simpler to administer as it includes a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a solution would rather be utilized by tech-savvy customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Still, certain web hosting companies offer managed dedicated server web hosting services where they implement web server administration operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra upgrade.
