Quality Website Hosting

There are different varieties of website hosting solutions appropriate for different websites in relation to the system resources or the website hosting platform they demand. To choose the best website hosting service for your web portal, you have to evaluate what server-side software it needs, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be covered.

Shared Website Hosting - Good Points

The most optimal option for small web sites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which lowers the total price per person seriously. There are various web hosting plans differing from one hosting provider to another, supplying different quotas of data storage and bandwidth, different email account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can obtain a plan that will provide the specs your website indeed demands. You will not need to pay a lot for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small scale plan that cannot accommodate the online portal. We, at DNA Central, offer a vast selection of website hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business sites that even come with pre-installed script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you begin with a less powerful plan and you need more resources, upgrading to a more feature-rich plan requires only a click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Aspects

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Some web pages, particularly online storefronts, need applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting package, you can activate solely software that does not demand full root-level access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For portals that require full server root access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of visitors per day, what you need is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A virtual server is a software imitation of a dedicated solution and it works in an absolutely identical manner.

Virtual Web Servers

Both platforms commonly include root-level access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the customer, independently from the hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server accounts involve diverse characteristics depending on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS account offers guaranteed hard disk storage, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be increased for brief spells of time in case there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is utilizing, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A virtual hosting server is easier to administer as it ships with virtualization software, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, examine stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by trained users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, certain web hosting firms offer managed dedicated hosting services where they carry out server management tasks instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra feature.
