Quality Hosting
There are various sorts of hosting plans suitable for different web pages in relation to the system resources or the hosting environment they require. To select the most suitable hosting service for your online portal, you have to reckon what server-side software it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be satisfied.

The most optimal option for small size websites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of website hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which decreases the overall price per customer markedly. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one web hosting corporation to another, offering different quotas of disk storage and monthly bandwidth, different email account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can order a plan that will provide the specifications your site actually requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small sized account that cannot shelter the site. We, at Cheap Hosted, offer a vast choice of hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business websites that even offer pre-installed script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you begin with a low grade package and you require more features, moving to a high-end account involves just a click of the mouse.
Shared web hosting - Minuses
A disadvantage of the shared website hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Some websites, especially online storefronts, require software applications to be activated on the web server for them to work, and with a shared hosting account, you can activate only software programs that do not demand complete root access.
Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers
For portals that need full server root access, or if your site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily visits, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it functions in strictly the same way.
Virtual Private Servers
Both environments generally offer full root access and can be restarted through a software program by the user, autonomously from the hosting provider. Like the shared website hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting accounts contain diverse specs depending on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A private virtual web server hosting package has guaranteed disk storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be increased for short intervals of time on condition that there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A private virtual web hosting server is simpler to handle as it offers a virtualization platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such an account would rather be resorted to by practiced customers.
Dedicated Web Servers
However, given companies provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they perform dedicated server management assignments on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.
