Quality Web Hosting

There are different sorts of web hosting accounts suitable for different web sites in regard to the resources or the web hosting platform they require. To select the most optimal web hosting service for your web page, you have to estimate what server-side software programs it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be covered.

Shared website hosting - Strong Points

The most optimal option for small sized web pages with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which lowers the total price per user considerably. There are diverse web hosting packages varying from one provider to another, delivering different amounts of server space and monthly bandwidth, different email account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can obtain an account that will offer the resources your online portal in fact demands. You will not need to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small scale package that cannot shelter the web portal. We, at HostFriendly, offer an enormous variety of web hosting solutions appropriate for private or small business web pages that even come with pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you commence with a low priced plan and you need more features, moving to a more feature-rich account requires only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Weak Points

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate additional software platforms. Specific sites, mainly online stores, demand software applications to be present on the server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can activate only software platforms that do not need root access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For sites that require full server root access, or if your web page has many thousands or even millions of daily visits, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual private web hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it functions in a strictly identical manner.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms usually include root access and can be restarted through a software program by the customer, independently from the hosting provider. Much like the shared hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting plans include diverse specifications based on what the web hosting supplier offers. A private virtual server hosting plan contains guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for brief stretches of time if there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A private virtual web server is simpler to handle as it includes a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, explore statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by qualified customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, certain web hosts offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they execute server management tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra feature.

Prior To Selecting...

Picking the top hosting plan is vital as it can affect the stable work of a website. Prior to settling on a package, weigh the pros and cons, inspect carefully all the preconditions for the site to perform properly, particularly if it is script-based.
