Quality Hosting

There are various kinds of hosting solutions appropriate for different web sites when it comes to the system resources or the hosting platform they require. To pick the most appropriate hosting service for your website, you need to calculate what server-side software programs it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Good Points

The most appropriate choice for small scale web portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of web hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall cost per customer radically. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting firm to another, delivering different amounts of web storage space and traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can order a plan that will provide the features your website indeed needs. You will not need to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot shelter the site. We, at SmartHostingServices.com, offer an immense variety of hosting plans suitable for private or small business pages that even include pre-installed script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you kick off with a less powerful plan and you demand more system resources, upgrading to a high-end plan demands just a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Inconveniences

A negative side of the shared web hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate new software programs. Some web portals, particularly web storefronts, require applications to be present on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install solely software that does not need complete server root access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For online portals that need server root access, or if your 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 machine and it runs in absolutely the same manner.

Virtual Private Servers

Both platforms commonly include complete root access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Like the shared website hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated hosting server accounts include different functionalities based on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A VPS account includes guaranteed web storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be enhanced for short stretches of time on condition that there are free resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A Virtual Private Server is simpler to run as it includes a virtualization console, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, examine stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by practiced customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Yet, some hosts provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they execute hosting server management assignments instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional upgrade.
