Top Website Hosting

There are different kinds of website hosting services appropriate for different websites in relation to the system resources or the website hosting platform they need. To choose the most suitable website hosting service for your web site, you have to access what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared Hosting - Dividends

The most optimal alternative for small online portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web space hosting, each user pays only for their account, which lowers the total price per client markedly. There are different web hosting solutions differing from one hosting provider to another, furnishing different amounts of hard disk storage space and traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can order an account that will have the resources your website actually needs. You will not need to pay a lot of cash for a package you will not avail of, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot shelter the web page. We, at Green Data Hosting, offer an enormous collection of website hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business web sites that even provide pre-installed script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a low grade plan and you demand more features, moving to a better account takes just a click.

Shared Website Hosting - Negative Points

A negative side of the shared website hosting environment is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software platforms. Some web sites, above all web shops, need software applications to be present on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate solely software platforms that do not demand full root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that demand full root-level access, or if your site has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A virtual server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated machine and it works in a precisely identical manner.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms generally include root-level access and can be restarted via a software program by the user, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Like the shared website hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting server accounts come with different characteristics depending on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual server hosting plan contains guaranteed web space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be boosted for brief periods of time if there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is easier to manage as it ships with a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, examine stats, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such an account would rather be used by proficient clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, some web hosting corporations provide managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they run web hosting server administration assignments on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an extra feature.
