Best Web Hosting

There are different kinds of web hosting packages appropriate for different websites with regard to the resources or the web hosting environment they need. To select the best web hosting service for your web site, you have to estimate what server-side software it demands, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be met.

Shared website hosting - Good Points

The most suitable option for small web sites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall price per client substantially. There are diverse web hosting solutions varying from one hosting vendor to another, delivering different amounts of disk space and bandwidth, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can order an account that will offer the resources your website in fact needs. You will not have to pay a lot of money for an account you will not use, or end up with a small sized account that cannot host the site. We, at JB1 Hosting, offer a great variety of web hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business web pages that even offer pre-activated script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you kick off with a less powerful package and you demand more functionalities, upgrading to a more powerful package takes only a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Negative Sides

A negative aspect of the shared hosting solution is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install additional software platforms. Given web portals, especially web stores, demand software applications to be activated on the web server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can install solely software programs that do not need complete server root access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For portals that need complete server root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual private web hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated machine and it performs in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms typically offer full root-level access and can be restarted through a software platform by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting company. Just like the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting packages contain different specs based on what the hosting company offers. A virtual private web hosting server package has guaranteed disk storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be extended for short spells of time on condition that there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A virtual private web hosting server is easier to manipulate as it includes a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be used by proficient customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, certain hosting vendors offer managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they run dedicated web hosting server administration tasks instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra upgrade.

Prior To Opting...

Choosing the top hosting package is vital as it can have an influence on the stable operation of a web site. Before choosing a plan, weigh the pros and cons, study thoroughly all the preconditions for the website to run properly, especially if it is script-driven.
