Best Web Hosting

There are various kinds of web hosting plans appropriate for different websites in terms of the system resources or the web hosting platform they demand. To select the best web hosting service for your web portal, you must estimate what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be met.

Shared website hosting - Good Points

The most suitable choice for small size web portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the total cost per person critically. There are various web hosting plans differing from one web hosting firm to another, supplying different quotas of disk storage and web traffic, different mail address account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can buy a plan that will provide the specs your website actually demands. You will not need to pay a lot of cash for a package you will not avail of, or end up with a small sized account that cannot accommodate the web site. We, at MorrisDNS, offer a great assortment of web hosting packages suitable for private or small business sites that even offer pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a low grade plan and you require more resources, moving to a more advanced account requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Weaknesses

A negative side of the shared website hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate new software platforms. Some websites, above all online shops, need software applications to be activated on the web server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can install only software applications that do not request root-level access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web sites that require full root-level access, or if your website has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated server and it behaves in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both solutions typically provide full server root privileges and can be rebooted via a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Just like the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting accounts sport diverse functionalities depending on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A private virtual server hosting plan contains guaranteed server storage, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be boosted for short periods of time provided that there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be revved up by changing or appending components. A virtual private web server is easier to run as it comes with a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, examine statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be used by practiced customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, some web hosting providers offer managed dedicated web server hosting services where they perform dedicated hosting server management tasks instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional upgrade.

Before You Opt...
