Top Website Hosting

There are different types of website hosting plans suitable for different sites when it comes to the resources or the website hosting environment they demand. To choose the best website hosting service for your web page, you need to judge what server-side software programs it needs, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be covered.

Shared Website Hosting - Assets

The most appropriate option for small size web pages with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of web hosting, each client pays only for their account, which lowers the overall cost per person drastically. There are diverse web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting company to another, supplying different quotas of server space and bandwidth, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can buy a package that will include the specs your web page really requires. You will not need to pay a lot for a package you will not use, or end up with a small sized package that cannot shelter the web site. We, at Tellus Hosting, offer a vast array of website hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business web sites that even come with pre-activated script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you begin with a low-cost plan and you demand more functionalities, upgrading to a better plan takes just a click.

Shared Web Hosting - Inconveniences

A downside of the shared hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate new software. Some sites, particularly online shops, request applications to be activated on the server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting package, you can install only software platforms that do not demand full root-level access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For websites that need complete root access, or if your portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily visitors, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A virtual private hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it operates in an exactly identical way.

Virtual Servers

Both environments usually give root-level access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the customer, independently from the web hosting company. Much like the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server hosting plans sport different characteristics depending on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A private virtual hosting server account includes guaranteed hard disk space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for brief spells of time if there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware it is using, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A VPS server is easier to tackle as it comprises a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such an account would rather be used by experienced customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, some hosting firms provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they carry out server management operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional option.
