Which website hosting plan will be most optimal for me?

There are various varieties of web hosting packages appropriate for different sites with regard to the resources or the website hosting platform they need. To pick the most suitable hosting service for your web portal, you need to evaluate what server-side software it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may need to be satisfied.

Shared Web Site Hosting - Perks

The most adequate choice for small scale web sites with several hundred or sng, each user pays only for their account, which lowers the total price per person noticeably. There are different web hosting plans varying from one hosting supplier to another, furnishing different amounts of web space and traffic, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can get a plan that will include the features your web site indeed needs. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for an account you will not make use of, or wind up with a small sized plan that cannot shelter the online portal. At Duty Free Hosting, there is a wide collection of shared hosting accounts suitable for private or small business web sites that even come with pre-installed script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you begin with a low-end package and you require more system resources, upgrading to a better plan involves just a click.

Shared Hosting - Drawbacks

A drawback of the shared web space hosting solution is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate additional software applications. Specific sites, above all online stores, demand software applications to be present on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared webspace hosting package, you can install solely software platforms that do not demand root access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web portals that need full root access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of viewers per day, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS web hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated solution and it operates in an exactly identical way.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers

Both solutions typically offer root privileges and can be restarted through a software tool by the user, autonomously from the hosting provider. Akin to the shared web space hosting plans, the VPS server and the dedicated web server hosting packages sport diverse specs based on what the hosting vendor offers. A VPS web server package has guaranteed web storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be extended for short spans of time if there are free resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A virtual private web hosting server is simpler to tackle as it involves a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, examine statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be utilized by proficient clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, some web hosts offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they perform server management tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional option.

Prior To Reaching a Decision...

Picking the top hosting package is crucial as it can affect the proper functioning of a web page. Before settling on an account, compare the pros and cons, explore completely all the preconditions for the online portal to run properly, particularly if it is script-based, and, last but not least, if you have already settled on a hosting provider, the best choice would be to ask their customer support team for a recommendation as to which particular package would be best for the stable functioning of your web portal.
