Top Web Hosting

There are different varieties of web hosting accounts appropriate for different sites in terms of the system resources or the web hosting environment they demand. To pick the most relevant web hosting service for your site, you need to judge what server-side software it needs, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared Hosting - Positive Sides

The most appropriate option for small sized websites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of website hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which diminishes the total price per person significantly. There are diverse web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting vendor to another, furnishing different amounts of web storage space and traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can order a plan that will include the specs your online portal indeed demands. You will not have to pay lots of money for a plan you will not utilize, or wind up with a small plan that cannot accommodate the website. We, at Extra Hoster, offer a large variety of web hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business web portals that even include pre-installed script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you kick off with a cheaper plan and you need more resources, upgrading to a more advanced plan takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Weaknesses

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install new software programs. Specific web portals, above all web storefronts, request software applications to be activated on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can install solely software platforms that do not demand full server root access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For portals that require full root-level access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even millions of daily visitors, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web server and it runs in strictly the same way.

Both solutions typically provide root-level access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the client, independently from the hosting company. Analogous to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting server plans include different characteristics depending on what the hosting company has to offer. A virtual web hosting server plan includes guaranteed web storage, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be expanded for brief periods of time on condition that there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A virtual hosting server is simpler to handle as it comes with a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, explore statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be used by trained customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, some hosting firms offer managed dedicated hosting services where they execute dedicated hosting server management assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra option.
