Top Hosting

There are various types of hosting solutions appropriate for different web pages in regard to the resources or the hosting platform they need. To select the best hosting service for your online portal, you must evaluate what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared website hosting - Strong Points

The most adequate alternative for small size online portals with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of web site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total price per customer seriously. There are various web hosting solutions varying from one hosting supplier to another, offering different amounts of storage space and web traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can pay for an account that will provide the specs your web portal actually demands. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small size account that cannot shelter the website. We, at TECHNOMERCE, offer a vast collection of hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business web portals that even provide pre-installed script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you start with a low-price plan and you need more functionalities, moving to a better package requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared Website Hosting - Shortcomings

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate new software applications. Specific web pages, above all web shops, demand software applications to be activated on the web server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate only software platforms that do not demand complete server root access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that require server root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it behaves in strictly the same way.

Virtual Private Servers

Both solutions generally offer root access and can be restarted through a software program by the client, independently from the web hosting supplier. Just like the shared website hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated server hosting packages include different characteristics depending on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual server web hosting package includes guaranteed server storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for brief stretches of time provided that there are free resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A VPS is easier to tackle as it includes virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, check statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be utilized by practiced clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, some web hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they complete server administration tasks on behalf of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra service.

Prior To Electing...

Opting for the top hosting package is crucial as it can affect the proper functioning of a website. Before selecting a plan, compare the pros and cons, review completely all the preconditions for the web page to function properly, especially if it is script-driven.
