Quality Web Hosting

There are different types of web hosting packages appropriate for different sites in relation to the resources or the web hosting platform they demand. To select the most optimal web hosting service for your website, you must estimate what server-side software 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 need to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Perks

The most proper choice for small sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of website hosting, each client pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall price per customer radically. There are different web hosting packages differing from one hosting provider to another, furnishing different amounts of hard disk space and bandwidth, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can buy a plan that will include the specs your online portal really needs. You will not have to pay a lot for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot accommodate the website. We, at EU SuperHost, offer a huge choice of web hosting packages suitable for personal or small business portals that even provide pre-installed script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you start with a low grade account and you demand more system resources, upgrading to a more advanced package demands just a click.

Shared Web Hosting - Disadvantages

A downside of the shared website hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install additional software applications. Some websites, mainly web stores, request software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting platform, you can install only software programs that do not require full server root access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that demand full server root access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even millions of visitors per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS web server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web server and it works in precisely the same way.

VPSs

Both platforms normally come with full root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting server accounts come with diverse functionalities based on what the web hosting company offers. A VPS server hosting package has guaranteed web storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be expanded for short stretches of time if there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A VPS is easier to manage as it involves a virtualization platform, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, check stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such an account would rather be resorted to by tech-savvy users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, certain hosting vendors offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they execute dedicated server administration operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra service.
