Top Web Hosting

There are different kinds of web hosting plans appropriate for different web portals in relation to the system resources or the web hosting environment they require. To select the most adequate web hosting service for your site, you have to access what server-side software it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared Hosting - Strong Points

The most optimal option for small size web portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which reduces the total price per customer noticeably. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one web host to another, providing different quotas of hard disk storage space and monthly traffic, different e-mail quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can buy a plan that will include the features your website actually needs. You will not have to pay lots of cash for an account you will not avail of, or end up with a small scale plan that cannot host the site. We, at Connektiva Web Hosting, offer an extensive choice of web hosting plans suitable for private or small business websites that even offer pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you commence with a low-end account and you require more resources, moving to a more feature-rich plan involves just a click.

Shared Hosting - Weaknesses

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate new software. Specific online portals, particularly online shops, need software applications to be installed on the web server for them to run, and with a shared hosting environment, you can activate only software applications that do not need complete root-level access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that demand root access, or if your website has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A virtual server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web server and it runs in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both environments typically give complete server root access and can be restarted via a software program by the client, autonomously from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server web hosting accounts contain diverse functionalities depending on what the hosting provider has to offer. A virtual hosting server plan offers guaranteed web storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enlarged for brief spells of time provided that there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A VPS server is easier to manipulate as it comes with a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, examine statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by competent clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, some hosting companies provide managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they perform hosting server management tasks instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra upgrade.

Prior To Selecting...

Choosing the top hosting package is crucial as it can have an influence on the stable performance of a web portal.
