Best Hosting

There are different types of hosting accounts appropriate for different web portals in terms of the system resources or the hosting environment they require. To select the most proper hosting service for your website, you have to estimate what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be met.

Shared Web Hosting - Perks

The most proper option for small sized websites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this form of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which lowers the total price per user seriously. There are diverse web hosting solutions differing from one web hosting vendor to another, delivering different quotas of web storage and web traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can obtain a package that will offer the features your web portal in fact needs. You will not need to pay plenty of cash for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small plan that cannot host the web page. We, at Duty Free Domains, offer an extensive collection of hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business web sites that even include pre-activated script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you kick off with a basic package and you demand more resources, moving to a more advanced plan involves only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Downsides

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install new software applications. Specific websites, above all web shops, need applications to be installed on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared hosting package, you can activate solely software applications that do not require full server root access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For websites that require root-level access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS web hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web server and it behaves in strictly the same way.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers

Both solutions traditionally give full server root privileges and can be restarted via a software platform by the user, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated server accounts come with diverse specifications based on what the hosting supplier offers. A virtual private web server hosting package contains guaranteed web storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be boosted for short periods of time provided that there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A VPS is simpler to manage as it comprises a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by skilled clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nonetheless, some companies offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they execute web hosting server administration operations instead of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra feature.

Prior To Selecting...

Selecting the top hosting plan is important as it can affect the stable work of a online portal.
