Quality Hosting

There are different types of hosting services appropriate for different websites with regard to the resources or the hosting platform they demand. To select the most relevant hosting service for your web portal, you need to estimate what server-side software it demands, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be covered.

Shared Hosting - Assets

The best option for small sized web sites with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which decreases the overall price per client seriously. There are various web hosting solutions varying from one web host to another, delivering different amounts of web storage and web traffic, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can obtain a plan that will offer the resources your site in fact needs. You will not have to pay a lot for a package you will not use, or wind up with a small package that cannot shelter the web page. We, at Web iCloud Hosting, offer a big assortment of hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business web sites that even offer pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you commence with a less powerful package and you require more system resources, upgrading to a more feature-rich account demands only a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Shortcomings

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software applications. Given web pages, chiefly web stores, require applications to be installed on the server for them to work, and with a shared hosting account, you can install only software that does not need server root access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that need root-level access, or if your web page 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 web server is a software simulation of a dedicated solution and it runs in strictly the same manner.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both solutions usually offer root-level access and can be restarted via a software tool by the client, independently from the web hosting company. Much like the shared hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting server plans come with diverse features depending on what the web hosting vendor offers. A private virtual web server plan contains guaranteed disk storage space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be boosted for short spans of time provided that there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is utilizing, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A private virtual web server is easier to manage as it comes with a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, check statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be used by knowledgeable users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, given web hosting vendors provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they implement dedicated web hosting server management operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra upgrade.
