Top Website Hosting

There are different kinds of website hosting packages suitable for different web sites in terms of the resources or the website hosting platform they need. To pick the most optimal website hosting service for your web portal, you need to evaluate what server-side software programs it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Positive Signs

The most suitable alternative for small scale web sites with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of hosting, each user pays only for their account, which reduces the overall price per customer seriously. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one web hosting vendor to another, supplying different amounts of data storage space and traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can obtain a package that will provide the features your online portal actually requires. You will not need to pay lots of money for a package you will not avail of, or end up with a small plan that cannot host the online portal. We, at Cirrus Hub, offer a vast array of website hosting solutions appropriate for private or small business sites that even offer pre-installed script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you commence with a less powerful plan and you demand more features, upgrading to a more powerful package takes just a click.

Shared Hosting - Negative Sides

A weakness of the shared web hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate new software applications. Some web portals, particularly web storefronts, require applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can install solely software that does not need full server root access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that require full root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visitors, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A virtual web server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web server and it functions in an absolutely identical way.

VPS Web Servers

Both solutions normally include server root access and can be restarted through a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Analogous to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting server plans contain diverse functionalities depending on what the hosting company offers. A Virtual Private Server account has guaranteed web space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for short periods of time on condition that there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A virtual server is easier to cope with as it comprises a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, examine stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such an account would rather be utilized by proficient users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Still, given hosts provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they carry out server administration assignments instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an extra feature.
