Quality Website Hosting

There are various kinds of website hosting services suitable for different websites in relation to the system resources or the website hosting platform they require. To pick the most optimal website hosting service for your web portal, you have to calculate what server-side software it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared Hosting - Positive Signs

The best option for small scale web sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which decreases the overall price per customer noticeably. There are different web hosting solutions differing from one hosting supplier to another, offering different amounts of disk space and web traffic, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can purchase an account that will offer the resources your web portal actually demands. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small size account that cannot accommodate the web site. We, at Tellus Hosting, offer a large assortment of website hosting packages appropriate for private or small business pages that even include pre-installed script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you kick off with a basic package and you require more resources, upgrading to a more powerful package demands only a click.

Shared Website Hosting - Weaknesses

A weakness of the shared website hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install additional software. Certain sites, particularly online shops, need software applications to be installed on the web server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting package, you can install only software platforms that do not require complete root access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that need root access, or if your portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A virtual private web server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated solution and it operates in strictly the same manner.

VPSs

Both environments generally include root-level access and can be restarted via a software platform by the client, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Much like the shared hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting server packages include different specifications depending on what the web hosting provider offers. A VPS web server hosting package offers guaranteed disk space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for short periods of time on condition that there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware it is utilizing, and it can be revved up by changing or appending components. A VPS server is easier to tackle as it offers a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, examine statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by skilled clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, some hosting corporations provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they implement dedicated web hosting server administration tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional service.

Prior To Electing...

Settling on the top hosting plan is vital as it can have an effect on the stable performance of a web site.
