Which webspace hosting account will be most suitable for me?

There are different sorts of web hosting packages appropriate for different web sites in regard to the resources or the website hosting environment they demand. To pick the most optimal hosting service for your web portal, you have to estimate what server-side software it demands, how many visits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be covered.

Shared Webspace Hosting - Privileges

The most adequate alternative for small size web portals with several hundred or site hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall cost per user markedly. There are different web hosting plans varying from one company to another, providing different quotas of data storage space and monthly bandwidth, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can buy a package that will include the specifications your website in fact requires. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small plan that cannot host the online portal. At ZeeWebHosting, there is an immense variety of shared hosting accounts suitable for private or small business websites that even come with pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you commence with a less powerful plan and you demand more functionalities, upgrading to a better plan involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Site Hosting - Shortcomings

A downside of the shared web space hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate new software programs. Specific web pages, particularly web shops, require software applications to be present on the hosting server for them to function, and with a shared web space hosting package, you can install only software that does not demand complete root-level access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web sites that request complete root-level access, or if your web page has many thousands or even millions of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual private web hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web server and it performs in strictly the same way.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both environments usually come with full server root privileges and can be rebooted via a software platform by the customer, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared website hosting plans, the VPS web server and the dedicated web server hosting accounts include different specs depending on what the hosting supplier offers. A VPS server account offers guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for brief stretches of time in case there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A VPS web hosting server is simpler to handle as it offers a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such a solution would rather be used by practiced customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, certain web hosting vendors provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they carry out hosting server management assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional option.

Before You Choose...

Picking the top hosting package is important as it can influence the stable operation of a website. Before choosing a plan, compare the pros and cons, check completely all the preconditions for the web page to work properly, especially if it is script-based, and, last but not least, if you have already picked a web host, the best choice would be to ask their support staff for an opinion as to which plan exactly would be best for the proper performance of your site.
