Quality Hosting

There are different types of hosting plans appropriate for different sites in relation to the system resources or the hosting platform they require. To choose the most optimal hosting service for your website, you need to evaluate what server-side software programs it needs, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared Website Hosting - Perquisites

The most relevant option for small sized web portals with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which decreases the overall cost per person radically. There are various web hosting solutions differing from one hosting provider to another, delivering different amounts of storage space and traffic, different mail address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can get a plan that will offer the specs your site really needs. You will not have to pay plenty of money for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot shelter the site. We, at iHosting, offer an enormous assortment of hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business websites that even provide pre-activated script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you commence with a low-price package and you demand more features, moving to a more advanced account requires just a mouse click.

Shared Web Hosting - Drawbacks

A downside of the shared website hosting solution is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate new software programs. Specific web portals, particularly online shops, need applications to be activated on the server for them to operate, and with a shared hosting account, you can activate solely software platforms that do not request complete root-level access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web portals that request root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A private virtual server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it runs in a strictly identical manner.

Both platforms usually give root-level access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the customer, independently from the web hosting provider. Similar to the shared website hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web server plans have different functionalities based on what the hosting provider offers. A VPS web server account has guaranteed server space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be enhanced for short spells of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A private virtual hosting server is easier to administer as it offers virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be utilized by competent users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, certain hosting corporations provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they carry out server administration tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional feature.
