Top Web Hosting

There are different varieties of web hosting accounts appropriate for different web pages in relation to the resources or the web hosting platform they demand. To select the most adequate web hosting service for your web site, you need to access what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Advantages

The most optimal alternative for small size web sites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web space hosting, each user pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall price per customer significantly. There are various web hosting solutions varying from one provider to another, offering different quotas of storage space and monthly traffic, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can get a plan that will offer the features your site actually needs. You will not have to pay lots of money for a package you will not use, or end up with a small account that cannot host the web site. We, at WANTOK Web Hosting, offer a large variety of web hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business websites that even offer pre-activated script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you begin with a low priced package and you require more functionalities, moving to a more feature-rich plan involves just a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Weak Sides

A negative side of the shared website hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install additional software programs. Given web portals, mainly web storefronts, require applications to be installed on the server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install only software programs that do not demand server root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For websites that need complete server root access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A VPS hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it behaves in strictly the same way.

VPS Servers

Both platforms typically come with root privileges and can be rebooted through a software tool by the client, autonomously from the web hosting company. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server hosting accounts come with different specs depending on what the web hosting supplier offers. A virtual private web hosting server package includes guaranteed web storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief periods 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 configuration it is utilizing, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A VPS web hosting server is simpler to tackle as it involves a virtualization panel, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, explore stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by knowledgeable clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, some providers provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they execute dedicated hosting server administration tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an extra upgrade.

Prior To Electing...
