Best Website Hosting

There are different sorts of website hosting plans appropriate for different websites in terms of the system resources or the website hosting platform they demand. To choose the most suitable website hosting service for your site, you have to judge what server-side software it demands, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Privileges

The most optimal option for small sized online portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this form of web hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the total cost per customer drastically. There are various web hosting solutions differing from one hosting supplier to another, offering different amounts of web storage space and traffic, different mail address account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can buy a package that will include the specs your website indeed demands. You will not need to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not utilize, or wind up with a small package that cannot shelter the online portal. We, at Green Data Hosting, offer a wide collection of website hosting packages suitable for private or small business sites that even provide pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you commence with a less powerful plan and you need more resources, moving to a more feature-rich account takes just a mouse click.

Shared Hosting - Minuses

A drawback of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software applications. Specific web portals, particularly online shops, need software applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting package, you can activate solely software applications that do not require complete root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For sites that request root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visits, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A private virtual web hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated solution and it runs in a strictly identical manner.

Virtual Private Servers

Both services commonly give full root access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Much like the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web hosting plans involve different characteristics depending on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A private virtual server web hosting package includes guaranteed data space, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be extended for short spells of time provided that there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A Virtual Private Server is easier to manipulate as it ships with a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, explore statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be utilized by knowledgeable clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, some web hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they carry out server management operations instead of the client. This can be a part of plan or an additional upgrade.
