Quality Hosting

There are different types of hosting accounts appropriate for different sites when it comes to the resources or the hosting environment they need. To choose the most optimal hosting service for your website, you have to access what server-side software programs it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Positive Sides

The most suitable alternative for small sized websites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this form of webspace hosting, each client pays only for their account, which minimizes the total cost per person seriously. There are various web hosting solutions differing from one host to another, supplying different quotas of disk storage and monthly bandwidth, different email box account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can get a package that will include the resources your website in fact demands. You will not need to pay a lot for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small size account that cannot shelter the web page. We, at Small Business Digital Toolkit, offer a wide choice of hosting accounts suitable for private or small business websites that even offer pre-activated script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a less powerful package and you demand more features, moving to a more feature-rich package demands only a click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Sides

A drawback of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install additional software. Given web portals, chiefly web storefronts, demand software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can install only software that does not demand server root access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web sites that request full root-level access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A Virtual Private Server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated server and it acts in strictly the same manner.

VPS Web Servers

Both environments generally give root privileges and can be rebooted through a software tool by the client, independently from the hosting provider. Analogous to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting accounts include different characteristics based on what the hosting provider offers. A private virtual server plan offers guaranteed hard disk storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be expanded for brief spells of time in case there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A private virtual hosting server is simpler to cope with as it comprises a virtualization panel, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be utilized by skilled clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, certain web hosts provide managed dedicated web hosting services where they execute dedicated hosting server management tasks instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an extra option.
