Quality Web Hosting

There are various types of web hosting services suitable for different websites in relation to the system resources or the web hosting environment they demand. To pick the most suitable web hosting service for your web portal, you must calculate what server-side software applications it requires, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Strong Points

The most adequate choice for small size web sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of website hosting, each user pays only for their account, which diminishes the total cost per individual substantially. There are different web hosting packages differing from one hosting corporation to another, furnishing different quotas of disk storage and monthly traffic, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can pay for a plan that will have the specifications your online portal indeed demands. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a package you will not use, or end up with a small size package that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at HighDesertHosting.Com, offer a wide collection of web hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business sites that even offer pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you begin with a low-end plan and you require more system resources, upgrading to a more powerful account requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Negative Aspects

A weakness of the shared website hosting solution is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate new software platforms. Some online portals, particularly online stores, demand applications to be available on the hosting server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can install only software programs that do not require full root access.

VPSs and Dedicated Servers

For web sites that demand server root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visitors, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual web hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated solution and it acts in exactly the same way.

Virtual Private Servers

Both platforms usually include root access and can be rebooted via a software tool by the client, independently from the hosting provider. Like the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server hosting accounts contain diverse characteristics depending on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A virtual private hosting server package offers guaranteed web storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be boosted for brief stretches of time if there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is easier to cope with as it comes with virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, examine stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by proficient customers.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, some web hosting companies offer managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they run dedicated web hosting server administration procedures instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional feature.

Prior To Selecting...

Opting for the top hosting package is crucial as it can have an influence on the stable work of a online portal. Before picking a package, weigh the pros and cons, check carefully all the preconditions for the online portal to perform properly, particularly if it is script-driven.
