Top Website Hosting

There are various kinds of website hosting accounts suitable for different websites when it comes to the system resources or the website hosting platform they need. To pick the most adequate website hosting service for your web portal, you must judge what server-side software programs it demands, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be answered.

Shared Web Hosting - Virtues

The most proper option for small scale sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of web hosting, each client pays only for their account, which reduces the overall cost per individual drastically. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one hosting corporation to another, furnishing different amounts of storage space and web traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can obtain a plan that will provide the specifications your web page actually requires. You will not have to pay lots of cash for a package you will not make use of, or end up with a small size plan that cannot host the website. We, at Design Turtle, offer a great array of website hosting packages suitable for private or small business web sites that even include pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a low-price package and you need more features, upgrading to a better plan involves only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Negative Sides

A drawback of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install new software applications. Given sites, above all web shops, demand applications to be present on the server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate only software programs that do not demand full server root access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For websites that need full root-level access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A Virtual Private Server is a software imitation of a dedicated server and it functions in absolutely the same manner.

Virtual Servers

Both environments typically include full server root privileges and can be rebooted via a software tool by the client, independently from the hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server accounts come with diverse characteristics based on what the web hosting provider offers. A virtual server hosting plan includes guaranteed server storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for brief spans of time provided that there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A VPS server is simpler to tackle as it ships with virtualization software, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be utilized by practiced users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, certain hosting corporations provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they execute server management assignments instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.
