Top Web Hosting

There are various sorts of web hosting solutions appropriate for different websites with regard to the resources or the web hosting environment they require. To pick the most optimal web hosting service for your online portal, you must access what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared Website Hosting - Good Points

The best choice for small online portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which minimizes the overall price per client markedly. There are diverse web hosting solutions differing from one web hosting corporation to another, supplying different amounts of storage space and traffic, different mail address account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can get a plan that will offer the specifications your online portal in fact demands. You will not need to pay a lot for a plan you will not utilize, or end up with a small sized plan that cannot shelter the web portal. We, at Domaine Shops, offer an enormous collection of web hosting plans suitable for personal or small business web sites that even provide pre-installed script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you begin with a low grade package and you demand more functionalities, moving to a more powerful plan demands just a click of the mouse.

Shared Website Hosting - Shortcomings

A weak side of the shared website hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install additional software. Some web portals, mainly web storefronts, request software applications to be present on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting package, you can activate solely software applications that do not request complete server root access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web sites that require full root-level access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visits, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual server is a software emulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it acts in exactly the same way.

Virtual Private Servers

Both services traditionally include complete server root access and can be restarted through a software tool by the user, independently from the hosting supplier. Much like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting server plans sport different specs depending on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A virtual web server hosting package includes guaranteed server storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be expanded for short stretches of time if there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A virtual web server is easier to manage as it includes virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be used by qualified clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, some web hosting vendors offer managed dedicated web server hosting services where they carry out hosting server management procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra option.
