Top Web Hosting

There are various sorts of web hosting services appropriate for different web portals when it comes to the system resources or the web hosting platform they demand. To pick the most proper web hosting service for your web site, you must reckon what server-side software programs it requires, how many visits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared website hosting - Positive Aspects

The most relevant alternative for small size web sites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of site hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which diminishes the total cost per person significantly. There are diverse web hosting packages varying from one web hosting corporation to another, furnishing different amounts of web space and traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can buy a package that will include the features your web site in fact needs. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small plan that cannot shelter the website. We, at Hermes Host, offer an enormous collection of web hosting plans suitable for personal or small business web sites that even include pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you begin with a low-end account and you require more functionalities, upgrading to a more advanced plan requires just a click.

Shared website hosting - Negative Aspects

A negative side of the shared hosting environment is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software. Specific web pages, mainly online storefronts, need software applications to be available on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can install only software applications that do not request complete root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For online portals that require complete root-level access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even millions of viewers per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual web hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it functions in a precisely identical way.

VPS Web Servers

Both environments normally come with full root privileges and can be restarted through a software program by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Akin to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server hosting plans include diverse specifications depending on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual server hosting package includes guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be extended for short intervals of time in case there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware it is using, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A virtual server is easier to tackle as it arrives with a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, monitor stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by competent customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Still, given web hosting providers provide managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they perform dedicated web server management procedures on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra feature.
