Top Hosting

There are different types of hosting plans appropriate for different web portals when it comes to the resources or the hosting platform they require. To select the most appropriate hosting service for your website, you must access what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be met.

Shared website hosting - Positive Aspects

The most proper alternative for small scale sites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of web site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall cost per person markedly. There are various web hosting accounts differing from one hosting provider to another, providing different quotas of hard disk storage and web traffic, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can obtain an account that will provide the specs your web portal actually needs. You will not have to pay lots of money for a package you will not avail of, or end up with a small package that cannot host the site. We, at GEC RACK - Best Enterprise Web And Cloud Hosting Solutions, offer a large variety of hosting solutions suitable for private or small business web pages that even offer pre-installed script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you begin with a low grade plan and you need more system resources, upgrading to a more feature-rich package demands only a click.

Shared website hosting - Weak Points

A weak side of the shared website hosting environment is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate new software platforms. Certain sites, particularly online stores, request software applications to be activated on the web server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can install only software that does not need full server root access.

VPS Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web pages that demand complete server root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even millions of daily visits, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual private hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web server and it works in a precisely identical manner.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both solutions usually include full root-level access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the client, autonomously from the hosting provider. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated server plans comprise different functionalities depending on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A Virtual Private Server package contains guaranteed hard disk storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief periods of time if there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A virtual private web server is simpler to cope with as it comes with a virtualization panel, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by practiced clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, some web hosting vendors provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they complete server administration assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra feature.

Before You Reach a Decision...
