Top Web Hosting

There are various kinds of web hosting services appropriate for different web portals when it comes to the system resources or the web hosting platform they need. To choose the most relevant web hosting service for your site, you need to evaluate what server-side software it demands, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Positive Aspects

The most optimal choice for small sized web portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of website hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall price per client drastically. There are different web hosting plans differing from one hosting corporation to another, offering different amounts of web storage and monthly bandwidth, different email address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can obtain a package that will offer the features your web portal indeed requires. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small sized plan that cannot accommodate the website. We, at Pepcube Web Hosting, offer a large array of web hosting packages suitable for private or small business web portals that even provide pre-installed script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a low-cost plan and you demand more resources, upgrading to a more feature-rich plan involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared Website Hosting - Negative Sides

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate additional software programs. Certain sites, especially online storefronts, need software applications to be available on the server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install solely software that does not require full server root access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web portals that need complete root-level access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it acts in strictly the same way.

VPSs

Both services generally provide complete root access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the client, autonomously from the hosting company. Just like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting packages sport different features based on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS server hosting package offers guaranteed storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be enhanced for short spans of time in case there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A virtual web server is easier to administer as it comes with a virtualization console, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, examine stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be resorted to by experienced users.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, some web hosting companies offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they execute dedicated hosting server administration assignments instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra option.

Prior To Opting...

Choosing the top hosting plan is essential as it can have an influence on the proper functioning of a web site.
