Best Hosting

There are various varieties of hosting accounts appropriate for different web pages when it comes to the system resources or the hosting environment they require. To pick the most appropriate hosting service for your online portal, you need to reckon what server-side software it needs, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared Website Hosting - Positive Points

The most suitable alternative for small sized web portals with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall price per client considerably. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one web hosting provider to another, supplying different amounts of server space and web traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can buy an account that will include the resources your website in fact requires. You will not need to pay plenty of cash for an account you will not avail of, or end up with a small scale account that cannot accommodate the website. We, at Epacket, offer a big assortment of hosting plans suitable for private or small business sites that even come with pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you kick off with a basic package and you demand more functionalities, moving to a better account demands just a click.

Shared Hosting - Negative Signs

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting platform is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install new software applications. Certain websites, mainly online stores, request applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to function, and with a shared hosting plan, you can activate solely software platforms that do not require server root access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For portals that require server root access, or if your web site has many thousands or even millions of visitors per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated package. A VPS is a software simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it acts in an exactly identical way.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both services typically include full root-level access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the customer, independently from the web hosting supplier. Similar to the shared hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting plans have diverse features depending on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual web server hosting package contains guaranteed server space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be expanded for short spells of time provided that there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A virtual hosting server is easier to tackle as it ships with a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, check statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be used by proficient users.

Dedicated Servers

However, some web hosts offer managed dedicated server web hosting services where they implement hosting server administration assignments on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an extra service.

Prior To Choosing...

Selecting the top hosting package is crucial as it can affect the stable performance of a web site. Prior to selecting a plan, weigh the pros and cons, check thoroughly all the requirements for the website to work properly, particularly if it is script-powered.
