Top Web Hosting

There are different varieties of web hosting solutions appropriate for different web sites when it comes to the system resources or the web hosting platform they require. To choose the most adequate web hosting service for your site, you need to reckon what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Advantages

The most suitable choice for small sized web portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of webspace hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which lowers the overall cost per client noticeably. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one company to another, providing different amounts of storage space and bandwidth, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can buy a plan that will provide the specs your online portal really demands. You will not have to pay plenty of money for an account you will not make use of, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot shelter the web site. We, at Flexhosted Web Services, offer a vast array of web hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business websites that even offer pre-installed script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you kick off with a cheaper plan and you need more features, moving to a better account involves only a click.

Shared Website Hosting - Drawbacks

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate new software platforms. Some web portals, especially online stores, request software applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared hosting account, you can install solely software applications that do not require full root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that demand full root access, or if your web site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it works in exactly the same way.

Virtual Web Servers

Both services normally offer complete root-level access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Analogous to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server plans come with diverse specs depending on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A private virtual web server package offers guaranteed hard disk space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be extended for short spells of time on condition that there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A virtual web hosting server is easier to handle as it arrives with a virtualization panel, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by trained users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, certain companies offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they implement dedicated web server administration procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional feature.

Prior To Deciding...

Settling on the top hosting plan is vital as it can have an influence on the stable work of a site. Before opting for a package, compare the pros and cons, inspect carefully all the prerequisites for the web portal to operate properly, particularly if it is script-driven.
