Best Web Hosting

There are various kinds of web hosting plans suitable for different sites when it comes to the system resources or the web hosting environment they demand. To select the most appropriate web hosting service for your online portal, you need to calculate what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may have to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Upsides

The most suitable choice for small size sites with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web space hosting, each user pays only for their account, which lowers the overall price per client considerably. There are different web hosting packages varying from one web hosting provider to another, supplying different amounts of web storage space and traffic, different email quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can order a package that will include the specifications your online portal actually demands. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small scale package that cannot host the web site. We, at Lord Griffin IT Solutions, offer a huge collection of web hosting plans suitable for private or small business web pages that even provide pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a low-cost package and you require more resources, moving to a high-end account demands only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Drawbacks

A weak side of the shared website hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install additional software platforms. Given online portals, mainly web shops, require software applications to be present on the server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can install solely software programs that do not demand full root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web portals that need full server root access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A VPS web server is a software imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it runs in strictly the same way.

VPSs

Both platforms traditionally include full server root access and can be rebooted through a software platform by the user, autonomously from the web hosting company. Akin to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting accounts involve diverse features depending on what the web hosting company offers. A private virtual hosting server account includes guaranteed hard disk space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be extended for brief intervals of time if there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A VPS web server is simpler to manipulate as it involves a virtualization console, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, examine stats, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a package would rather be utilized by skilled customers.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, given hosting vendors provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they perform dedicated web hosting server management procedures instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional service.
