Top Hosting

There are different kinds of hosting services appropriate for different websites in terms of the system resources or the hosting environment they require. To select the most adequate hosting service for your web site, you have to calculate what server-side software applications it demands, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared Hosting - Positive Aspects

The most optimal option for small size sites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this form of web site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall price per individual considerably. There are different web hosting plans varying from one web hosting firm to another, delivering different quotas of server storage and monthly bandwidth, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can purchase a package that will offer the resources your web site really demands. You will not have to pay lots of money for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small sized account that cannot host the site. We, at ThreeMen.Net, offer an extensive selection of hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business web portals that even provide pre-activated script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a cheaper account and you need more resources, moving to a more advanced account requires only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Shortcomings

A negative side of the shared website hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate new software programs. Specific sites, mainly online shops, demand applications to be available on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting package, you can install solely software programs that do not require complete root access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that demand complete server root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even millions of daily hits, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS web server is a software emulation of a dedicated solution and it runs in absolutely the same manner.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both environments traditionally offer full root-level access and can be restarted via a software platform by the user, independently from the web hosting provider. Analogous to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting accounts contain different characteristics depending on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A VPS web server hosting package offers guaranteed hard disk storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can occasionally be expanded for short spells of time if there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A Virtual Private Server is simpler to tackle as it includes a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, examine stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be used by knowledgeable customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, certain web hosting corporations offer managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they run web hosting server administration tasks instead of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra upgrade.

Before You Reach a Decision...

Settling on the top hosting package is essential as it can have an effect on the stable operation of a website.
