Top Hosting

There are different varieties of hosting plans appropriate for different web sites when it comes to the resources or the hosting platform they need. To choose the most relevant hosting service for your web portal, you have to estimate what server-side software applications it needs, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Upsides

The most appropriate option for small size web sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall cost per person critically. There are diverse web hosting solutions varying from one hosting supplier to another, delivering different quotas of disk storage and monthly traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can purchase a package that will offer the specs your online portal actually demands. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a package you will not use, or end up with a small scale account that cannot host the web portal. We, at Innovative Hosting Solutions, offer a vast variety of hosting plans appropriate for private or small business sites that even come with pre-activated script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a low-price plan and you demand more resources, moving to a more advanced package requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Weaknesses

A drawback of the shared website hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software. Certain websites, particularly web shops, request applications to be installed on the web server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can install only software programs that do not need full root-level access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web sites that require server root access, or if your website has many thousands or even millions of daily visits, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual private web server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it behaves in an exactly identical manner.

VPS Servers

Both services traditionally offer complete server root access and can be restarted via a software program by the user, autonomously from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated hosting accounts come with different functionalities depending on what the hosting supplier offers. A virtual private web server plan includes guaranteed data storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enlarged for short spans of time in case there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A VPS web server is easier to manipulate as it arrives with a virtualization console, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, examine statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by experienced clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, some web hosting providers provide managed dedicated hosting services where they execute hosting server management assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra upgrade.

Prior To Opting...
