Top Hosting

There are various kinds of hosting plans appropriate for different web portals with regard to the resources or the hosting platform they need. To choose the most suitable hosting service for your site, you must reckon what server-side software applications it needs, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be covered.

Shared Website Hosting - Assets

The most adequate alternative for small size sites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of hosting, each client pays only for their account, which diminishes the total price per person radically. There are diverse web hosting plans differing from one web hosting provider to another, offering different amounts of server storage and traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can buy a plan that will offer the specifications your online portal actually demands. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small sized account that cannot host the online portal. We, at Tripplehost, offer a great collection of hosting packages suitable for personal or small business websites that even provide pre-installed script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you begin with a low-end account and you need more features, moving to a more advanced account requires only a click.

Shared Website Hosting - Shortcomings

A drawback of the shared web hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install new software platforms. Specific websites, above all web shops, demand software applications to be activated on the server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate only software applications that do not require root access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For online portals that request root access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visits, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual private web hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated server and it functions in absolutely the same manner.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both solutions commonly come with server root access and can be restarted via a software interface by the client, independently from the hosting provider. Similar to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated hosting server accounts involve diverse characteristics depending on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A private virtual server hosting plan includes guaranteed disk storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be boosted for brief spans of time in case there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A virtual web hosting server is simpler to run as it comes with a virtualization platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, check stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a package would rather be used by competent clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, given web hosting corporations provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated hosting server management procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an extra feature.
