Quality Web Hosting

There are different sorts of web hosting plans suitable for different web portals in regard to the resources or the web hosting environment they require. To choose the most optimal web hosting service for your web portal, you have to access what server-side software programs it demands, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared Hosting - Perks

The most proper choice for small sized web portals with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this type of web space hosting, each client pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall price per person seriously. There are diverse web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting firm to another, delivering different amounts of disk storage space and web traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can buy an account that will include the specs your online portal in fact needs. You will not need to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small size account that cannot host the website. We, at Comnet Cloud Solutions, offer an extensive collection of web hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business web sites that even include pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you commence with a low grade package and you demand more features, upgrading to a more powerful package takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Weaknesses

A weakness of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Certain web portals, mainly web shops, require software applications to be present on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate only software that does not request complete root-level access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For sites that require complete root access, or if your portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated machine and it functions in precisely the same way.

VPS Servers

Both platforms commonly come with full root privileges and can be restarted through a software tool by the client, independently from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting plans involve diverse characteristics based on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A VPS web hosting server plan contains guaranteed hard disk space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be expanded for short spans of time if there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A virtual hosting server is easier to administer as it arrives with a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, check statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be used by qualified customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, some web hosting corporations offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they implement server management operations on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra option.

Prior To Selecting...

Opting for the top hosting plan is important as it can have an influence on the stable work of a web portal. Prior to choosing an account, compare the pros and cons, inspect carefully all the requirements for the web page to run properly, especially if it is script-based.
