Best Hosting

There are different varieties of hosting accounts suitable for different web portals when it comes to the resources or the hosting environment they demand. To pick the most relevant hosting service for your web portal, you need to access what server-side software it demands, how many daily hits you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may need to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Positive Signs

The most proper option for small web portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which lowers the overall price per person drastically. There are various web hosting packages varying from one hosting company to another, providing different amounts of server storage space and monthly traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for an account that will offer the specifications your web portal in fact demands. You will not need to pay lots of money for a plan you will not utilize, or wind up with a small size package that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at Wonderly Web Hosting, offer a large assortment of hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business sites that even include pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you kick off with a low-cost package and you require more system resources, upgrading to a high-end account demands just a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Negative Signs

A weakness of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate new software applications. Some online portals, mainly web shops, need software applications to be present on the web server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install only software platforms that do not need server root access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that request root-level access, or if your website has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of viewers per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A private virtual hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web server and it acts in an exactly identical way.

Private Virtual Servers

Both environments generally give full server root privileges and can be rebooted via a software tool by the client, autonomously from the hosting provider. Much like the shared hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting server packages contain different characteristics based on what the hosting supplier offers. A virtual hosting server package includes guaranteed web storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be increased for short stretches of time if there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A VPS is simpler to cope with as it includes virtualization software, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be resorted to by trained users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, some web hosting companies offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they carry out server administration tasks instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra feature.

Prior To Deciding...
