Quality Web Hosting

There are various types of web hosting packages suitable for different web pages in relation to the resources or the web hosting environment they require. To choose the most optimal web hosting service for your website, you need to estimate what server-side software applications it demands, how many visits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared Hosting - Advantages

The most appropriate alternative for small scale websites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web space hosting, each user pays only for their account, which lowers the total cost per customer seriously. There are various web hosting packages differing from one company to another, providing different quotas of hard disk space and bandwidth, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can get a package that will offer the specifications your web site actually requires. You will not need to pay plenty of cash for a package you will not make use of, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot host the online portal. We, at Brandplus, offer an extensive variety of web hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business portals that even include pre-installed script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you begin with a cheaper account and you demand more functionalities, upgrading to a more advanced plan takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Negative Sides

A weak side of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install additional software applications. Specific web sites, mainly online stores, request software applications to be installed on the web server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting package, you can install only software applications that do not need complete root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For sites that request full root-level access, or if your web page has many thousands or even millions of daily visits, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS web hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated server and it acts in a strictly identical manner.

Virtual Servers

Both platforms normally come with full server root access and can be restarted via a software platform by the client, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Similar to the shared hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting accounts sport diverse features depending on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A private virtual web hosting server account contains guaranteed hard disk storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be extended for short spells of time provided that there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A VPS hosting server is simpler to tackle as it comes with a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be utilized by qualified clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, some hosts offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they complete web server management tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an extra upgrade.

Opting for the top hosting package is essential as it can have an influence on the proper functioning of a online portal.
