Best Website Hosting

There are various kinds of website hosting plans suitable for different sites when it comes to the system resources or the website hosting environment they require. To select the most appropriate website hosting service for your website, you have to reckon what server-side software programs it demands, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Positive Aspects

The most proper option for small sites with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web hosting, each client pays only for their account, which reduces the total cost per client substantially. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one web host to another, providing different quotas of storage space and traffic, different e-mail quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can get an account that will offer the resources your web page indeed demands. You will not have to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot host the online portal. We, at OpenHost, offer an enormous array of website hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business web sites that even come with pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you begin with a basic plan and you require more system resources, moving to a more advanced plan requires only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Weak Points

A drawback of the shared hosting environment is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate additional software applications. Some online portals, chiefly web shops, demand applications to be present on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can install solely software programs that do not request complete root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web sites that demand full server root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of daily visits, what you need is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it runs in a strictly identical way.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both environments traditionally give root access and can be restarted via a software platform by the user, autonomously from the hosting company. Much like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server web hosting packages come with diverse characteristics based on what the web hosting company has to offer. A private virtual server web hosting plan has guaranteed web storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be extended for brief stretches of time on condition that there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A virtual web server is easier to administer as it includes a virtualization software platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be used by experienced customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, some web hosts provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they execute web server management tasks instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra service.
