Top Web Hosting

There are various sorts of web hosting solutions appropriate for different web sites in regard to the system resources or the web hosting environment they need. To pick the best web hosting service for your web site, you must estimate what server-side software applications it demands, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Positive Points

The most relevant choice for small scale websites with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall price per client considerably. There are different web hosting solutions differing from one hosting firm to another, delivering different amounts of storage space and bandwidth, different e-mail quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can purchase an account that will offer the specifications your site actually demands. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a plan you will not utilize, or wind up with a small plan that cannot host the web page. We, at East Texas Web Hosting, offer a wide variety of web hosting solutions appropriate for private or small business pages that even offer pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you kick off with a basic account and you require more functionalities, upgrading to a more advanced account requires only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Aspects

A negative side of the shared hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install additional software. Given websites, mainly web stores, request applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can install only software platforms that do not demand server root access.

VPSs and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web pages that need server root access, or if your web page has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of viewers per day, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A VPS hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated server and it operates in a precisely identical manner.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms generally give root-level access and can be rebooted through a software program by the user, independently from the hosting company. Like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web hosting packages involve different specifications depending on what the web hosting provider offers. A Virtual Private Server account has guaranteed web space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for brief periods of time if there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A virtual private hosting server is simpler to cope with as it includes virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be used by tech-savvy clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, certain companies offer managed dedicated hosting solutions where they run dedicated web server administration operations instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional option.
