Top Web Hosting

There are different types of web hosting accounts suitable for different web portals in relation to the system resources or the web hosting environment they demand. To choose the most suitable web hosting service for your site, you must access what server-side software it requires, how many daily hits 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 - Positive Sides

The best option for small sites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of website hosting, each user pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall price per client markedly. There are diverse web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting vendor to another, offering different quotas of data space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can order a package that will offer the features your web site really needs. You will not have to pay lots of cash for an account you will not avail of, or wind up with a small account that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at Zeta Hosting, offer a big collection of web hosting plans suitable for private or small business websites that even include pre-installed script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you begin with a cheaper plan and you need more functionalities, upgrading to a more advanced account requires only a click.

Shared Hosting - Minuses

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Specific sites, chiefly web stores, need software applications to be activated on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install solely software applications that do not request full root access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web sites that need root access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it functions in an exactly identical way.

Virtual Web Servers

Both services typically provide full server root privileges and can be rebooted via a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Akin to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting accounts have different functionalities based on what the hosting vendor offers. A virtual server hosting package includes guaranteed storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for brief intervals of time if there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A virtual web server is simpler to manipulate as it offers a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, explore stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such an account would rather be resorted to by trained customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, some hosting providers offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they implement web hosting server management operations on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra option.
