Top Web Hosting

There are various varieties of web hosting services appropriate for different sites in terms of the resources or the web hosting environment they need. To pick the best web hosting service for your website, you need to judge what server-side software it demands, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be met.

Shared Web Hosting - Virtues

The most appropriate option for small scale websites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this type of hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the total price per individual critically. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting provider to another, delivering different amounts of storage space and web traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can buy a package that will offer the specs your online portal in fact requires. You will not need to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small sized account that cannot host the web portal. We, at BitLife Host, offer an immense variety of web hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business pages that even provide pre-activated script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you begin with a low grade account and you demand more features, moving to a more powerful plan takes just a click.

Shared Web Hosting - Drawbacks

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install new software programs. Given sites, chiefly online storefronts, request applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can activate only software platforms that do not need root-level access.

VPS Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web pages that need root-level access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of daily hits, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it performs in a precisely identical manner.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both services generally provide complete root access and can be restarted through a software program by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Much like the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server web hosting plans have diverse specs based on what the web hosting vendor offers. A Virtual Private Server plan offers guaranteed server space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for short stretches of time if there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A VPS is simpler to cope with as it involves a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, monitor stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be utilized by qualified customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, given web hosting firms offer managed dedicated server web hosting services where they perform dedicated web hosting server management tasks on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra feature.

Before You Opt...

Selecting the top hosting plan is vital as it can have an effect on the proper work of a web site.
