Quality Hosting

There are different sorts of hosting solutions appropriate for different web pages in terms of the system resources or the hosting environment they need. To pick the best hosting service for your web site, you must reckon what server-side software it demands, how many daily hits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be satisfied.

Shared Web Hosting - Strong Points

The most optimal alternative for small sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of web hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total price per person noticeably. There are different web hosting plans varying from one company to another, offering different amounts of server storage and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can get a package that will offer the features your website really requires. You will not need to pay lots of money for a package you will not use, or end up with a small sized plan that cannot host the online portal. We, at HipHop Hosting, offer a wide variety of hosting packages suitable for personal or small business portals that even come with pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you start with a low priced account and you require more system resources, moving to a high-end package demands only a click.

Shared web hosting - Weak Sides

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting solution is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install additional software programs. Some web portals, especially online shops, demand applications to be installed on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can install only software that does not request root-level access.

VPS Servers and Dedicated Servers

For online portals that request full server root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual web server is a software emulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it runs in an absolutely identical manner.

Virtual Private Servers

Both services generally include full server root privileges and can be restarted through a software tool by the customer, independently from the hosting provider. Just like the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated server web hosting plans include diverse specs based on what the hosting vendor offers. A Virtual Private Server web hosting package has guaranteed web storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be enlarged for short stretches of time in case there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is easier to run as it offers a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, check stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be used by qualified clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, some hosts provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they implement web hosting server management tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional feature.

Prior To Selecting...

Picking the top hosting plan is vital as it can have an influence on the proper work of a web portal. Before choosing a package, compare the pros and cons, explore completely all the requirements for the web site to run properly, especially if it is script-based.
