Best Hosting

There are different kinds of hosting services appropriate for different web sites in terms of the system resources or the hosting environment they demand. To select the best hosting service for your web site, you need to access what server-side software it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be met.

Shared Web Hosting - Strong Sides

The most optimal alternative for small size websites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of web space hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which decreases the total price per individual seriously. There are various web hosting packages differing from one web hosting supplier to another, offering different quotas of disk space and bandwidth, different mail quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can obtain a plan that will have the resources your website in fact needs. You will not have to pay a lot for an account you will not use, or end up with a small size account that cannot host the web site. We, at Melanesia Web Hosting, offer a big collection of hosting solutions suitable for private or small business web sites that even offer pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a low-end package and you demand more features, upgrading to a high-end package demands only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Downsides

A negative aspect of the shared web hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate new software programs. Certain web pages, especially online stores, need applications to be activated on the web server for them to run, and with a shared hosting platform, you can install solely software applications that do not need full root access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For websites that need server root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A private virtual server is a software emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it operates in precisely the same manner.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both solutions normally come with full root-level access and can be restarted via a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Analogous to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting accounts include different specifications depending on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual server hosting account includes guaranteed hard disk space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for short periods of time provided that there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A VPS web server is easier to cope with as it comprises a virtualization platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be used by skilled clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, certain web hosting firms provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they carry out dedicated web server management assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an extra upgrade.

Prior To Electing...
