Top Web Hosting

There are various types of web hosting accounts suitable for different web portals in relation to the system resources or the web hosting platform they demand. To pick the most adequate web hosting service for your website, you have to access what server-side software it requires, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may have to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Privileges

The most relevant alternative for small size online portals with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the total cost per client critically. There are different web hosting solutions differing from one hosting company to another, furnishing different quotas of web storage space and traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for a plan that will include the specs your web portal indeed needs. You will not have to pay plenty of money for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small scale plan that cannot shelter the site. We, at SunCloud Hosting, offer an enormous collection of web hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business web sites that even provide pre-activated script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you start with a low priced account and you require more features, upgrading to a more powerful package demands just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Drawbacks

A negative side of the shared website hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software. Specific web pages, chiefly online storefronts, need software applications to be present on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can install only software programs that do not need full root-level access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that demand full root-level access, or if your site has many thousands or even millions of daily visits, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it performs in a strictly identical way.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both platforms normally come with root privileges and can be rebooted via a software tool by the user, independently from the web hosting supplier. Akin to the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server hosting packages contain different functionalities depending on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A virtual hosting server account has guaranteed disk space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be expanded for short periods of time in case there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A virtual private web server is easier to cope with as it ships with a virtualization panel, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such a solution would rather be used by trained clients.

Dedicated Servers

Yet, some companies offer managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they run dedicated web server management tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional upgrade.

Prior To Opting...

Selecting the top hosting package is important as it can have an effect on the proper functioning of a website. Before opting for an account, weigh the pros and cons, examine completely all the preconditions for the web portal to work properly, particularly if it is script-based.
