Quality Web Hosting

There are different sorts of web hosting plans appropriate for different sites in relation to the resources or the web hosting environment they demand. To choose the most appropriate web hosting service for your online portal, you need to calculate what server-side software programs it requires, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be answered.

Shared website hosting - Virtues

The most suitable choice for small size web sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the total cost per user significantly. There are various web hosting packages varying from one hosting supplier to another, offering different quotas of disk storage space and monthly bandwidth, different mail address account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can purchase an account that will offer the specifications your web portal in fact requires. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot host the online portal. We, at Domaine Shops, offer a wide assortment of web hosting plans suitable for private or small business websites that even provide pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you start with a low-price account and you require more system resources, moving to a better account takes only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Aspects

A weakness of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate additional software applications. Certain online portals, mainly web shops, require applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can install only software platforms that do not request full root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For portals that require root-level access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily viewers, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual web hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated web server and it works in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both platforms normally provide complete root-level access and can be rebooted through a software program by the client, autonomously from the hosting provider. Just like the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server packages come with different characteristics depending on what the web hosting provider offers. A virtual server web hosting account includes guaranteed data storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for short periods of time in case there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be upgraded by altering or appending components. A VPS web server is simpler to manipulate as it offers virtualization software, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, check stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be used by skilled customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nonetheless, given hosting companies provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they complete dedicated hosting server administration tasks on behalf of the client. This can be a part of plan or an additional service.
