Top Website Hosting

There are different kinds of website hosting packages appropriate for different web pages in relation to the system resources or the website hosting environment they need. To choose the most suitable website hosting service for your web page, you must estimate what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Advantages

The best alternative for small scale websites with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of web hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall cost per client markedly. There are different web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting vendor to another, providing different quotas of hard disk space and monthly bandwidth, different mail account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can buy a plan that will have the features your web page in fact needs. You will not need to pay plenty of cash for an account you will not avail of, or wind up with a small package that cannot shelter the web site. We, at 123 Get Online, offer a huge variety of website hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business pages that even provide pre-installed script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you commence with a less powerful plan and you need more system resources, upgrading to a more powerful account takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Negative Signs

A weakness of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software applications. Specific web pages, particularly web stores, require applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can install solely software applications that do not need complete root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For online portals that require full root-level access, or if your portal 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 private virtual hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it acts in absolutely the same way.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both platforms traditionally provide full root access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the user, autonomously from the web hosting company. Analogous to the shared website hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server web hosting plans have diverse specs depending on what the hosting provider offers. A virtual private web server hosting account has guaranteed web space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for short intervals of time if there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A private virtual server is easier to cope with as it comes with a virtualization console, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such an account would rather be used by knowledgeable customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, some hosting corporations provide managed dedicated web hosting services where they execute dedicated web hosting server management tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional feature.

Prior To Selecting...
