Quality Website Hosting

There are various types of website hosting accounts appropriate for different websites in relation to the system resources or the website hosting environment they demand. To select the most relevant website hosting service for your web portal, you must judge what server-side software applications it demands, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be answered.

Shared website hosting - Benefits

The most proper choice for small sized online portals with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web space hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall price per individual significantly. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one hosting firm to another, providing different quotas of web space and monthly bandwidth, different email address account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can get a plan that will provide the resources your web portal actually requires. You will not need to pay lots of money for an account you will not make use of, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot accommodate the web site. We, at Hip Gloss Pro Hosting, offer a big variety of website hosting solutions suitable for private or small business web sites that even offer pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a cheaper package and you require more system resources, moving to a more powerful package requires only a click.

Shared website hosting - Negative Signs

A shortcoming of the shared website hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install additional software. Specific online portals, mainly online shops, demand applications to be present on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared hosting platform, you can install solely software that does not demand full server root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For websites that require complete server root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A private virtual web hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated solution and it performs in an exactly identical manner.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both environments typically offer server root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the customer, independently from the hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web hosting server accounts sport diverse characteristics depending on what the web hosting vendor offers. A VPS hosting package has guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be extended for short stretches of time provided that there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A private virtual web server is easier to run as it involves a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such an account would rather be used by tech-savvy clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, certain hosting vendors provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they run dedicated web hosting server administration operations on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional option.
