Top Website Hosting

There are various sorts of website hosting solutions suitable for different web sites in relation to the system resources or the website hosting platform they demand. To pick the most suitable website hosting service for your web portal, you must calculate what server-side software applications it requires, how many daily hits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may need to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Upsides

The most optimal option for small scale online portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this form of website hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall price per person significantly. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting company to another, supplying different quotas of disk space and bandwidth, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can get a package that will include the specs your web site in fact requires. You will not need to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not utilize, or wind up with a small size account that cannot host the web site. We, at BigHost, offer a large array of website hosting solutions suitable for private or small business web pages that even come with pre-installed script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you start with a cheaper account and you require more features, upgrading to a high-end package involves only a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Negative Points

A negative aspect of the shared website hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software platforms. Given websites, mainly online storefronts, request software applications to be present on the web server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can activate solely software applications that do not request root-level access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that need complete root-level access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A virtual private web server is a software imitation of a dedicated solution and it behaves in strictly the same way.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers

Both environments generally include complete root-level access and can be restarted through a software tool by the user, independently from the hosting supplier. Just like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server web hosting accounts include diverse functionalities depending on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A private virtual web hosting server plan includes guaranteed data storage, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for brief periods of time on condition that there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A virtual web server is easier to manipulate as it comes with a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, monitor stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be used by knowledgeable clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, given hosting vendors provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they implement dedicated web hosting server administration assignments on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra option.
