Top Hosting

There are different varieties of hosting packages appropriate for different sites when it comes to the system resources or the hosting environment they require. To pick the best hosting service for your web site, you have to reckon what server-side software it demands, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be met.

Shared Website Hosting - Assets

The most appropriate option for small sized web sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the total cost per individual drastically. There are diverse web hosting packages varying from one hosting firm to another, offering different quotas of hard disk space and monthly traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can pay for a package that will provide the specs your web portal indeed requires. You will not need to pay plenty of money for a package you will not avail of, or end up with a small account that cannot host the online portal. We, at Hosting AM PM, offer a large collection of hosting plans suitable for personal or small business websites that even come with pre-activated script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you start with a cheaper package and you require more resources, upgrading to a better account demands only a click.

Shared web hosting - Disadvantages

A drawback of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software platforms. Some web pages, especially web stores, need software applications to be installed on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate only software applications that do not demand root-level access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web sites that need full server root access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated package. A private virtual hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated server and it works in a precisely identical manner.

VPSs

Both environments usually provide complete root-level access and can be rebooted via a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Analogous to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web server hosting packages comprise different specs based on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A Virtual Private Server hosting plan contains guaranteed hard disk space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enhanced for brief spans of time provided that there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A Virtual Private Server is easier to handle as it involves a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be utilized by skilled users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nonetheless, given web hosting firms provide managed dedicated web hosting services where they implement hosting server management procedures instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.
