Best Web Hosting

There are various kinds of web hosting plans suitable for different web portals with regard to the system resources or the web hosting environment they demand. To choose the most proper web hosting service for your web portal, you must judge what server-side software it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be answered.

Shared Web Hosting - Good Points

The most relevant alternative for small web portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which diminishes the overall cost per person significantly. There are different web hosting packages differing from one web hosting corporation to another, furnishing different amounts of web storage space and traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can obtain an account that will provide the specifications your web page actually demands. You will not need to pay a lot of money for an account you will not make use of, or wind up with a small sized package that cannot host the online portal. We, at 7Global Connect, offer a great array of web hosting accounts suitable for private or small business pages that even provide pre-installed script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you kick off with a low-cost package and you require more system resources, moving to a better account takes just a click.

Shared website hosting - Weak Points

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Some websites, above all online shops, require applications to be installed on the server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can activate only software programs that do not require complete server root access.

VPS Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web sites that request complete root access, or if your site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual private web hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it functions in exactly the same way.

VPS Servers

Both environments usually give full root privileges and can be rebooted via a software platform by the client, independently from the hosting provider. Analogous to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server packages include different specs depending on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS web hosting account offers guaranteed server storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be extended for short intervals of time on condition that there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A VPS hosting server is easier to manage as it ships with a virtualization console, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, explore statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be utilized by tech-savvy clients.

Dedicated Servers

Still, some web hosts provide managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they execute dedicated hosting server management assignments on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional feature.

Prior To Deciding...

Opting for the top hosting package is vital as it can have an influence on the stable operation of a web page. Before choosing an account, weigh the pros and cons, appraise carefully all the prerequisites for the website to work properly, especially if it is script-powered.
