Which site hosting solution will benefit me most?

There are different kinds of web hosting packages suitable for different sites in relation to the system resources or the web hosting platform they require. To pick the most relevant hosting service for your web page, you have to calculate what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may need to be covered.

Shared Website Hosting - Good Points

The most adequate choice for small scale web portals with several hundred or web space hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which decreases the total cost per person radically. There are various web hosting packages differing from one hosting supplier to another, offering different amounts of disk storage and web traffic, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can purchase an account that will include the features your web site indeed demands. You will not need to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small size plan that cannot host the web page. At Essen Inc., there is an immense choice of shared hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business sites that even offer pre-installed script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you commence with a less powerful package and you demand more system resources, moving to a more feature-rich plan requires only a click of the mouse.

Shared Website Hosting - Shortcomings

A drawback of the shared web space hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software platforms. Some websites, particularly web storefronts, require applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared site hosting account, you can activate solely software applications that do not request full server root access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For websites that demand complete root access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual private hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated solution and it runs in absolutely the same manner.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both services traditionally come with complete root-level access and can be restarted through a software program by the user, autonomously from the hosting company. Just like the shared hosting accounts, the VPS server web hosting and the dedicated web server hosting plans contain different specifications based on what the hosting provider has to offer. A VPS web hosting account includes guaranteed web storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for brief spans of time in case there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A virtual hosting server is easier to cope with as it includes virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be resorted to by proficient customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, given hosting companies provide managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they execute web hosting server administration operations on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional option.

Before You Select...

Settling on the top hosting package is essential as it can affect the stable functioning of a web site. Before selecting an account, weigh the pros and cons, inspect carefully all the requirements for the web page to operate properly, particularly if it is script-powered, and, one more thing, if you have already selected a provider, the best you could do would be to ask their support staff for a suggestion as to which plan exactly would be best for the proper work of your site.
