Best Web Hosting

There are different types of web hosting services suitable for different sites in regard to the resources or the web hosting environment they demand. To pick the most adequate web hosting service for your website, you need to access what server-side software it requires, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may have to be satisfied.

Shared website hosting - Pluses

The best option for small size web portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall price per individual markedly. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one hosting supplier to another, offering different quotas of disk storage space and traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can obtain a package that will offer the specs your web site indeed demands. You will not have to pay lots of money for an account you will not make use of, or end up with a small scale account that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at Wantok Web Hosting, offer a huge assortment of web hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business portals that even include pre-installed script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you commence with a cheaper plan and you need more functionalities, moving to a more powerful package takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared Website Hosting - Negative Signs

A negative aspect of the shared website hosting solution is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install additional software platforms. Certain online portals, particularly online storefronts, request applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting account, you can activate only software platforms that do not require full root access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For online portals that request complete root-level access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of visitors per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual private web server is a software imitation of a dedicated machine and it operates in absolutely the same way.

VPS Web Servers

Both platforms traditionally give complete root-level access and can be restarted via a software platform by the customer, independently from the web hosting provider. Similar to the shared website hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server accounts involve diverse specifications based on what the hosting company offers. A VPS web server package offers guaranteed server space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief spells of time provided that there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A virtual web server is simpler to manage as it includes a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be resorted to by practiced users.

Dedicated Servers

Still, certain web hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they carry out hosting server management procedures on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional upgrade.

Prior To Reaching a Decision...

Picking the top hosting package is important as it can influence the proper operation of a website. Prior to selecting an account, compare the pros and cons, check thoroughly all the preconditions for the site to function properly, especially if it is script-driven.
