Top Web Hosting

There are various types of web hosting solutions appropriate for different web sites in regard to the resources or the web hosting platform they require. To choose the most relevant web hosting service for your web portal, you need to judge what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be covered.

Shared Hosting - Benefits

The most suitable alternative for small sites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which reduces the total cost per user critically. There are different web hosting accounts differing from one host to another, supplying different amounts of storage space and traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can obtain an account that will include the specs your web site in fact needs. You will not have to pay a lot for a package you will not make use of, or end up with a small size package that cannot shelter the web site. We, at MorrisDNS, offer a huge variety of web hosting solutions suitable for private or small business web pages that even offer pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you kick off with a cheaper plan and you demand more features, upgrading to a high-end package demands just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Weak Points

A drawback of the shared web hosting solution is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install additional software. Some sites, mainly web storefronts, need software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared hosting account, you can activate only software that does not demand full root access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For online portals that require complete root-level access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even millions of viewers per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS web hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it functions in an absolutely identical way.

Virtual Servers

Both solutions typically include full server root privileges and can be restarted through a software tool by the user, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Just like the shared website hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server hosting packages come with different specifications based on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A virtual web server hosting package has guaranteed server storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be expanded for brief intervals of time if there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A virtual private web server is simpler to manipulate as it ships with a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, examine statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such an account would rather be utilized by practiced users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, given hosting companies provide managed dedicated web hosting services where they carry out dedicated web server administration operations on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional service.
