Quality Web Hosting

There are various kinds of web hosting accounts appropriate for different websites in terms of the system resources or the web hosting environment they demand. To select the most optimal web hosting service for your web portal, you have to calculate what server-side software it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be covered.

Shared Hosting - Upsides

The best alternative for small size websites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of webspace hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which lowers the overall price per user radically. There are different web hosting packages differing from one web hosting provider to another, supplying different amounts of disk storage space and bandwidth, different mail quotas and so on. The good point is that you can buy a package that will offer the resources your website really requires. You will not have to pay lots of money for a package you will not use, or end up with a small size account that cannot accommodate the web page. We, at MorrisDNS, offer an extensive collection of web hosting packages suitable for private or small business web sites that even come with pre-installed script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you commence with a low priced plan and you demand more system resources, moving to a more feature-rich account demands just a click.

Shared Web Hosting - Inconveniences

A shortcoming of the shared hosting environment is that the servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software. Specific sites, above all online storefronts, require software applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can install only software platforms that do not require root-level access.

VPSs and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web portals that demand root-level access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily visitors, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web server and it functions in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers

Both services normally offer root privileges and can be restarted through a software platform by the user, independently from the hosting provider. Analogous to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server hosting plans come with diverse specs based on what the web hosting vendor offers. A VPS server plan offers guaranteed web space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be enhanced for short periods of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A VPS web server is easier to run as it includes a virtualization console, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, examine statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by experienced users.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, some hosting vendors offer managed dedicated server web hosting services where they run dedicated hosting server management procedures instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional option.
