Top Hosting

There are different kinds of hosting plans suitable for different web portals in regard to the system resources or the hosting platform they demand. To select the most proper hosting service for your website, you have to judge what server-side software it requires, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be satisfied.

Shared website hosting - Privileges

The best choice for small web pages with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of hosting, each client pays only for their account, which decreases the overall price per individual seriously. There are different web hosting packages differing from one web hosting vendor to another, supplying different quotas of data storage space and traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can pay for an account that will offer the features your web portal indeed demands. You will not have to pay lots of cash for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small scale package that cannot accommodate the website. We, at Global Pro Hosting, offer an enormous selection of hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business web sites that even provide pre-installed script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you commence with a basic plan and you require more resources, moving to a more powerful account involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Disadvantages

A drawback of the shared web hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install additional software applications. Given sites, particularly web shops, demand software applications to be activated on the server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate only software programs that do not need server root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For sites that request root access, or if your site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual private hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated machine and it acts in exactly the same manner.

Private Virtual Servers

Both platforms commonly offer root-level access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the client, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Just like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated hosting packages have diverse specifications depending on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A Virtual Private Server plan includes guaranteed disk storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enlarged for brief intervals of time in case there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A VPS web server is easier to handle as it offers a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, monitor stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by qualified clients.

Dedicated Servers

Still, some hosting providers provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they complete dedicated web server management tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional service.
