Quality Website Hosting

There are various types of website hosting services suitable for different sites in regard to the system resources or the website hosting environment they need. To choose the most adequate website hosting service for your web site, you have to judge what server-side software it requires, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be met.

Shared web hosting - Dividends

The most appropriate alternative for small websites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this type of hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which decreases the total price per person seriously. There are different web hosting packages differing from one provider to another, providing different quotas of web space and web traffic, different email address account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can pay for an account that will offer the features your web page actually needs. You will not have to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not make use of, or end up with a small size package that cannot accommodate the online portal. We, at Wantok Web Hosting, offer a wide variety of website hosting plans appropriate for private or small business websites that even offer pre-installed script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you commence with a low grade plan and you require more functionalities, moving to a high-end plan demands just a click.

Shared website hosting - Shortcomings

A negative side of the shared website hosting platform is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate additional software programs. Certain web portals, particularly online stores, demand applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install only software programs that do not require server root access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For sites that request full root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A VPS hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it runs in strictly the same way.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both solutions generally provide full root access and can be restarted through a software interface by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web hosting packages sport diverse characteristics based on what the web hosting supplier offers. A Virtual Private Server plan has guaranteed web storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for short spans of time if there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A virtual server is simpler to handle as it comprises a virtualization panel, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such a package would rather be used by qualified clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, given web hosting vendors offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they implement web server management assignments instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional upgrade.

Prior To Selecting...

Selecting the top hosting package is crucial as it can influence the proper operation of a web portal. Prior to picking a package, compare the pros and cons, survey completely all the preconditions for the web page to run properly, especially if it is script-based.
