Top Web Hosting

There are different kinds of web hosting plans appropriate for different websites with regard to the resources or the web hosting environment they require. To choose the most optimal web hosting service for your web page, you must evaluate what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may need to be met.

Shared web hosting - Positive Aspects

The most suitable option for small web portals with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this type of website hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which lowers the total cost per user drastically. There are different web hosting plans varying from one web hosting vendor to another, supplying different amounts of web storage and bandwidth, different email quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can order an account that will have the resources your web portal actually demands. You will not need to pay a lot of cash for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small sized account that cannot accommodate the website. We, at JB1 Hosting, offer a huge array of web hosting solutions suitable for private or small business web sites that even come with pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you start with a low-price plan and you require more features, upgrading to a more feature-rich package takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Minuses

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting platform is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate new software applications. Given web sites, especially web stores, request software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can install solely software programs that do not request complete root-level access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For online portals that require complete server root access, or if your site has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS web server is a software simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it performs in a strictly identical way.

Virtual Servers

Both services usually come with complete root access and can be restarted through a software program by the client, independently from the hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server packages involve diverse specs based on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A VPS web server hosting package contains guaranteed disk storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be increased for brief spells of time on condition that there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A virtual private web hosting server is simpler to administer as it comprises a virtualization console, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, monitor statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be utilized by trained clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, certain companies provide managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated hosting server management operations instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional upgrade.

Prior To Deciding...

Opting for the top hosting package is crucial as it can influence the proper work of a website. Before settling on a package, weigh the pros and cons, explore completely all the preconditions for the web portal to function properly, particularly if it is script-driven.
