Quality Hosting

There are different sorts of hosting packages appropriate for different web pages in regard to the system resources or the hosting environment they need. To choose the most appropriate hosting service for your site, you need to calculate what server-side software it demands, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be met.

Shared web hosting - Strong Sides

The most proper choice for small sized web portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of web hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which diminishes the overall cost per user considerably. There are various web hosting packages varying from one hosting supplier to another, offering different quotas of disk storage space and traffic, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can obtain an account that will include the specs your website indeed requires. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small account that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at W3Cloud, offer a great variety of hosting packages appropriate for private or small business sites that even come with pre-installed script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you begin with a low-price package and you require more features, upgrading to a more feature-rich plan demands only a click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Signs

A weakness of the shared website hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install additional software platforms. Specific sites, chiefly web storefronts, demand applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared hosting environment, you can install only software programs that do not require full root-level access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For sites that request complete server root access, or if your site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of viewers per day, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web server and it runs in absolutely the same way.

VPS Web Servers

Both solutions commonly offer full server root access and can be restarted through a software platform by the customer, autonomously from the hosting company. Similar to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated hosting server plans have different specifications depending on what the hosting company offers. A VPS web server account offers guaranteed data storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be extended for short spans of time provided that there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A VPS is easier to manage as it arrives with a virtualization panel, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, check stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be used by trained clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, given web hosts provide managed dedicated server hosting services where they execute dedicated web server management assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional option.
