Best Hosting

There are various sorts of hosting services suitable for different sites in terms of the resources or the hosting platform they require. To pick the most adequate hosting service for your web portal, you need to evaluate what server-side software programs it requires, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be met.

Shared website hosting - Perks

The most optimal alternative for small sized websites with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of web space hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which diminishes the overall cost per person considerably. There are various web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting supplier to another, providing different quotas of hard disk space and traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can get a plan that will offer the specs your web site indeed demands. You will not have to pay a lot for a package you will not make use of, or wind up with a small sized account that cannot accommodate the website. We, at Greenolive Hosting Solutions, offer a great assortment of hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business pages that even include pre-installed script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a cheaper account and you demand more resources, upgrading to a more feature-rich package involves only a mouse click.

Shared Website Hosting - Drawbacks

A negative side of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install new software. Some sites, mainly online shops, require applications to be present on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate only software programs that do not request full root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that demand root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visits, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated package. A virtual web server is a software simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it operates in an exactly identical manner.

Virtual Web Servers

Both platforms generally give root access and can be restarted via a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Akin to the shared hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated server hosting plans comprise diverse characteristics based on what the hosting vendor offers. A virtual web server hosting plan has guaranteed server storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be boosted for short periods of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A virtual private web hosting server is simpler to cope with as it offers virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such an account would rather be utilized by competent clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, certain hosting corporations offer managed dedicated web server hosting services where they execute hosting server administration tasks instead of the client. This can be a part of plan or an additional service.

Before You Elect...

Settling on the top hosting plan is crucial as it can have an influence on the proper work of a online portal.
