Best Web Hosting

There are different varieties of web hosting plans suitable for different web portals in relation to the resources or the web hosting environment they demand. To select the most optimal web hosting service for your web page, you have to evaluate what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Benefits

The most optimal choice for small web portals with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of web space hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall cost per individual considerably. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one hosting provider to another, furnishing different amounts of hard disk storage space and monthly traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can order a plan that will have the features your web page actually requires. You will not have to pay plenty of money for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small size account that cannot accommodate the website. We, at JCA Hosting, offer a wide assortment of web hosting accounts suitable for private or small business sites that even offer pre-installed script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a basic account and you need more functionalities, upgrading to a better account involves just a click.

Shared website hosting - Downsides

A drawback of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot install additional software applications. Given sites, especially web storefronts, require applications to be activated on the web server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate only software platforms that do not need root-level access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For portals that require root access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of daily viewers, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it runs in absolutely the same manner.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both environments generally give complete server root access and can be restarted via a software interface by the customer, independently from the web hosting provider. Akin to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting packages include diverse specs depending on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS server plan contains guaranteed disk storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enlarged for brief spans of time on condition that there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A virtual private web server is easier to cope with as it involves a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by qualified clients.

Dedicated Servers

Still, given web hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they perform dedicated hosting server administration procedures on behalf of the client. This can be a part of plan or an additional upgrade.
