Best Hosting

There are various sorts of hosting solutions appropriate for different sites when it comes to the system resources or the hosting platform they demand. To pick the most proper hosting service for your site, you need to reckon what server-side software applications it demands, 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 answered.

Shared Hosting - Advantages

The most appropriate choice for small web portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of website hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall cost per person significantly. There are different web hosting solutions differing from one provider to another, offering different amounts of server storage and monthly bandwidth, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can purchase a plan that will offer the features your website actually requires. You will not have to pay a lot of money for an account you will not avail of, or wind up with a small size account that cannot shelter the web portal. We, at Global Pro Hosting, offer a wide array of hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business web pages that even offer pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you kick off with a less powerful account and you need more resources, upgrading to a more feature-rich plan requires just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Shortcomings

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate new software applications. Given sites, especially web stores, demand software applications to be available on the server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate only software that does not demand full server root access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For sites that demand server root access, or if your site has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual private hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it runs in precisely the same manner.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both platforms usually come with root privileges and can be restarted via a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Much like the shared website hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated web server accounts come with different specs depending on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual private web server account includes guaranteed hard disk storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be increased for brief stretches of time provided that there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A Virtual Private Server is easier to cope with as it offers a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, check statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by skilled clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nonetheless, some hosting firms offer managed dedicated hosting services where they execute dedicated web hosting server administration procedures instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra option.

Prior To Electing...

Picking the top hosting plan is important as it can have an effect on the proper functioning of a web portal. Prior to opting for a package, compare the pros and cons, investigate thoroughly all the prerequisites for the web portal to perform properly, particularly if it is script-driven.
