Top Website Hosting

There are different types of website hosting plans suitable for different web portals in regard to the system resources or the website hosting environment they demand. To select the most relevant website hosting service for your website, you need to reckon what server-side software programs it demands, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may have to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Virtues

The most relevant option for small sized sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this type of website hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the total price per client considerably. There are various web hosting solutions varying from one company to another, providing different amounts of storage space and web traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can pay for a package that will provide the specs your web page really needs. You will not need to pay lots of money for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small scale plan that cannot accommodate the web site. We, at The Hosting Dudes, offer a huge variety of website hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business web pages that even include pre-activated script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a cheaper plan and you require more system resources, upgrading to a better package requires only a click.

Shared web hosting - Drawbacks

A shortcoming of the shared website hosting environment is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install new software applications. Certain web portals, above all web stores, request software applications to be available on the web server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can activate solely software that does not demand server root access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that need root-level access, or if your web site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily visitors, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A Virtual Private Server is a software imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it behaves in an absolutely identical manner.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both environments commonly give full root access and can be restarted through a software interface by the client, autonomously from the hosting company. Akin to the shared website hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server hosting plans come with diverse specifications based on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A VPS hosting server package offers guaranteed server storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for short spans of time in case there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware it is using, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A private virtual web server is simpler to administer as it offers a virtualization software platform, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, check stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be utilized by proficient users.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, certain web hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they perform dedicated hosting server management operations on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an additional upgrade.
