Top Website Hosting

There are different sorts of website hosting accounts suitable for different web pages with regard to the resources or the website hosting environment they require. To select the most proper website hosting service for your web page, you have to judge what server-side software it needs, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be met.

Shared web hosting - Strong Points

The most suitable option for small sites with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of website hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which decreases the total cost per person noticeably. There are different web hosting solutions differing from one company to another, providing different amounts of hard disk space and monthly bandwidth, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can buy a plan that will provide the resources your web page really requires. You will not need to pay plenty of money for an account you will not avail of, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot shelter the web site. We, at Geekforce Hosting, offer a big variety of website hosting packages suitable for personal or small business pages that even come with pre-installed script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a low grade plan and you require more resources, upgrading to a more advanced account involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Downsides

A downside of the shared website hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install additional software programs. Certain web portals, particularly online shops, demand applications to be installed on the web server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can install only software that does not request complete server root access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web portals that require complete root-level access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it operates in an exactly identical manner.

Virtual Servers

Both solutions usually include root-level access and can be rebooted through a software platform by the user, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web server hosting plans sport diverse specifications depending on what the hosting provider offers. A Virtual Private Server package offers guaranteed data space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be expanded for brief periods of time on condition that there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A virtual web server is easier to manipulate as it comprises a virtualization console, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, monitor stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such an account would rather be used by knowledgeable clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, some hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they carry out web hosting server management operations instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an additional feature.
