Top Web Hosting

There are different types of web hosting solutions appropriate for different websites in terms of the system resources or the web hosting environment they need. To select the most adequate web hosting service for your web page, you have to calculate what server-side software programs it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Assets

The most optimal choice for small scale websites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of hosting, each client pays only for their account, which lowers the overall cost per person seriously. There are different web hosting packages varying from one web hosting vendor to another, delivering different amounts of server space and monthly bandwidth, different mail account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can purchase an account that will include the specs your site really needs. You will not need to pay a lot of money for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small plan that cannot shelter the web site. We, at The Blog Host, offer an extensive assortment of web hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business portals that even offer pre-installed script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you start with a low-end package and you demand more features, upgrading to a more advanced plan requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Inconveniences

A weak side of the shared web hosting solution is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate new software programs. Specific online portals, above all web stores, require applications to be available on the server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate solely software programs that do not demand full root-level access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For sites that need root-level access, or if your web site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visitors per day, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated hosting. A Virtual Private Server is a software imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it runs in a strictly identical manner.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both solutions usually give server root access and can be restarted via a software tool by the client, autonomously from the hosting company. Like the shared hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting server packages comprise diverse characteristics depending on what the hosting company offers. A virtual web hosting server package includes guaranteed web storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be expanded for brief intervals of time on condition that there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is utilizing, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A virtual hosting server is easier to handle as it arrives with virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, explore stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be used by skilled users.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, some hosts offer managed dedicated hosting services where they complete server management operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra option.

Before You Opt...

Opting for the top hosting package is crucial as it can affect the stable work of a web page. Before picking a plan, weigh the pros and cons, investigate thoroughly all the prerequisites for the site to run properly, particularly if it is script-powered.
