Top Hosting

There are different types of hosting plans suitable for different web pages in regard to the resources or the hosting platform they need. To pick the most adequate hosting service for your site, you must access what server-side software programs it requires, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be covered.

Shared Hosting - Benefits

The most relevant choice for small size web portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of web site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the overall cost per client noticeably. There are different web hosting plans differing from one web hosting firm to another, furnishing different amounts of hard disk storage and traffic, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can get a package that will provide the specs your site really requires. You will not have to pay lots of money for a plan you will not utilize, or end up with a small plan that cannot host the web site. We, at Desk Top Hosting, offer a large assortment of hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business web portals that even include pre-installed script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you start with a low priced package and you need more resources, moving to a more feature-rich account involves just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Signs

A downside of the shared website hosting solution is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate new software programs. Certain web sites, especially web stores, require software applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate solely software programs that do not request complete root access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For websites that need root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even millions of visitors per day, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated package. A private virtual hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated machine and it behaves in an absolutely identical way.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both services traditionally offer root-level access and can be restarted through a software program by the customer, independently from the hosting provider. Similar to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting plans have different specs based on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A VPS server hosting plan offers guaranteed web space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be boosted for brief spans of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A VPS hosting server is easier to tackle as it ships with a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, examine statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a package would rather be used by practiced customers.

Dedicated Servers

Yet, certain web hosting firms provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they execute web hosting server administration assignments instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra upgrade.

Prior To Choosing...

Opting for the top hosting plan is crucial as it can have an effect on the stable work of a site. Prior to picking a plan, weigh the pros and cons, inspect thoroughly all the preconditions for the online portal to function properly, especially if it is script-based.
