Quality Web Hosting

There are different varieties of web hosting packages suitable for different web sites in relation to the system resources or the web hosting environment they demand. To select the most appropriate web hosting service for your site, you need to judge what server-side software applications it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared Web Hosting - Perks

The most adequate alternative for small size web portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which diminishes the total cost per person critically. There are various web hosting packages differing from one web hosting firm to another, furnishing different quotas of disk space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can order a package that will offer the specs your website actually requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a plan you will not utilize, or end up with a small sized package that cannot host the online portal. We, at hostarabya, offer an extensive array of web hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business pages that even provide pre-installed script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you start with a less powerful plan and you need more system resources, upgrading to a more advanced account involves only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Downsides

A negative aspect of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate new software platforms. Specific sites, especially online storefronts, request software applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can install only software applications that do not require server root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For sites that require complete server root access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of visitors per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated machine and it performs in an exactly identical way.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both services typically give server root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the user, independently from the hosting provider. Analogous to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server plans include diverse features based on what the web hosting company offers. A VPS hosting plan contains guaranteed web storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be extended for short periods of time provided that there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A private virtual hosting server is easier to handle as it comes with a virtualization panel, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a package would rather be used by competent users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, some hosting companies provide managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they execute web hosting server administration operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional option.

Before You Choose...

Settling on the top hosting plan is important as it can have an effect on the stable performance of a web site.
