Top Web Hosting

There are different varieties of web hosting services suitable for different web portals in relation to the system resources or the web hosting platform they demand. To pick the most appropriate web hosting service for your web site, you need to judge what server-side software it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be met.

Shared Website Hosting - Positive Aspects

The best option for small sized web sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which decreases the overall cost per client drastically. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one web hosting provider to another, offering different amounts of hard disk space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can get a package that will include the specs your website actually needs. You will not need to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small plan that cannot accommodate the web page. We, at Robbtech Hosting, offer a vast variety of web hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business web sites that even include pre-activated script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you kick off with a low-end plan and you need more system resources, moving to a more powerful plan requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Weaknesses

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting environment is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install new software programs. Specific websites, above all online shops, demand software applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared hosting solution, you can install solely software programs that do not request full server root access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Servers

For portals that need complete root-level access, or if your web site has many thousands or even millions of visitors per day, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated web server and it works in precisely the same way.

Virtual Web Servers

Both environments generally come with complete root access and can be rebooted through a software program by the user, independently from the web hosting company. Just like the shared hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting server packages include diverse characteristics based on what the web hosting company offers. A Virtual Private Server package has guaranteed server storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for short stretches of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware it is using, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A Virtual Private Server is easier to tackle as it includes a virtualization platform, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, check statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such a solution would rather be utilized by tech-savvy users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, some hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they execute hosting server administration procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an additional option.

Prior To Deciding...

Settling on the top hosting plan is vital as it can influence the stable functioning of a site. Prior to choosing an account, weigh the pros and cons, check carefully all the requirements for the site to run properly, especially if it is script-driven.
