Top Web Hosting

There are different types of web hosting services appropriate for different websites with regard to the system resources or the web hosting platform they need. To select the most optimal web hosting service for your site, you must calculate what server-side software it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be answered.

Shared Hosting - Strong Sides

The most proper choice for small scale web portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web space hosting, each client pays only for their account, which minimizes the total price per client markedly. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one web hosting provider to another, providing different quotas of data space and traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can buy a plan that will have the features your web site actually demands. You will not have to pay lots of cash for a package you will not make use of, or wind up with a small sized package that cannot shelter the site. We, at Integrity Hosting Center, offer a great assortment of web hosting packages suitable for personal or small business websites that even include pre-activated script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you start with a basic plan and you need more system resources, moving to a high-end plan takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Negative Sides

A weakness of the shared website hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software. Certain online portals, especially online stores, need applications to be activated on the server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting package, you can activate solely software platforms that do not require full server root access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that demand complete root-level access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of visitors per day, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A virtual private web server is a software emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it acts in strictly the same way.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms normally provide complete root-level access and can be rebooted through a software program by the user, independently from the web hosting provider. Akin to the shared hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web server accounts sport different functionalities based on what the web hosting vendor offers. A private virtual web hosting server package contains guaranteed web space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief intervals of time in case there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A private virtual server is simpler to manage as it offers a virtualization software platform, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be used by trained users.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, certain web hosting providers provide managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they perform dedicated hosting server administration assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra feature.

Prior To Opting...

Picking the top hosting package is important as it can affect the proper performance of a online portal. Prior to selecting a package, compare the pros and cons, check thoroughly all the prerequisites for the site to perform properly, particularly if it is script-based.
