Top Hosting

There are different kinds of hosting services appropriate for different websites in regard to the resources or the hosting platform they need. To pick the most appropriate hosting service for your site, you have to estimate what server-side software it needs, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Positive Sides

The most optimal option for small sites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which diminishes the overall price per user drastically. There are various web hosting accounts differing from one hosting supplier to another, furnishing different amounts of hard disk storage and traffic, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can obtain an account that will offer the resources your web portal indeed requires. You will not have to pay a lot for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at Efficientia Servers, offer a wide collection of hosting solutions suitable for private or small business web portals that even include pre-installed script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you begin with a less powerful account and you require more functionalities, moving to a more powerful package involves only a click.

Shared Website Hosting - Downsides

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate additional software programs. Given web pages, above all web stores, request applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can activate only software platforms that do not demand complete server root access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web portals that demand full root-level access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated package. A private virtual web server is a software emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it works in absolutely the same way.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both platforms generally come with full root access and can be rebooted via a software program by the client, independently from the hosting company. Just like the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated server hosting packages come with diverse functionalities based on what the web hosting provider offers. A VPS server package offers guaranteed server space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for brief stretches of time on condition that there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A virtual hosting server is simpler to administer as it includes a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, check statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be used by skilled clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, some web hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they run dedicated hosting server administration tasks instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional option.

Prior To Deciding...

Selecting the top hosting package is crucial as it can influence the proper functioning of a web page. Before opting for a package, weigh the pros and cons, appraise thoroughly all the preconditions for the web site to work properly, particularly if it is script-based.
