Top Web Hosting

There are different kinds of web hosting solutions suitable for different web portals in terms of the system resources or the web hosting environment they require. To choose the most optimal web hosting service for your site, you have to estimate what server-side software programs it demands, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared Web Hosting - Advantages

The best alternative for small sized web pages with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of web hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the total cost per user considerably. There are diverse web hosting packages varying from one web hosting firm to another, delivering different amounts of server storage space and monthly traffic, different email address account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can get a package that will include the specs your web site really needs. You will not need to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small account that cannot host the web portal. We, at glinthost, offer a vast selection of web hosting plans suitable for private or small business web sites that even include pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you begin with a less powerful account and you need more functionalities, moving to a more advanced account takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Minuses

A negative side of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate new software programs. Certain web sites, especially web stores, demand software applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to function, and with a shared hosting environment, you can activate solely software programs that do not demand complete root-level access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that demand complete server root access, or if your website has many thousands or even millions of viewers per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it behaves in exactly the same way.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both solutions traditionally include full root access and can be restarted via a software interface by the customer, independently from the web hosting supplier. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting accounts contain diverse specs based on what the hosting supplier offers. A VPS server hosting package contains guaranteed data storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can occasionally be increased for brief spells of time on condition that there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A VPS web server is simpler to manipulate as it involves a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, examine stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by competent customers.

Dedicated Servers

Yet, certain hosting providers offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they complete web server administration assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an extra option.

Before You Choose...

Settling on the top hosting package is crucial as it can have an effect on the stable functioning of a site. Before choosing an account, compare the pros and cons, survey completely all the preconditions for the web site to perform properly, particularly if it is script-powered.
