Quality Hosting

There are different kinds of hosting plans appropriate for different sites with regard to the resources or the hosting platform they require. To pick the most appropriate hosting service for your site, you need to judge what server-side software programs it demands, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may have to be met.

Shared Website Hosting - Upsides

The most relevant alternative for small size web sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of web hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall cost per individual considerably. There are various web hosting packages differing from one web hosting company to another, providing different quotas of disk storage and traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can buy a plan that will include the specifications your web portal really needs. You will not have to pay a lot for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small account that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at Big D's Hosting Services, offer a wide selection of hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business websites that even come with pre-activated script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you kick off with a low-cost plan and you need more features, moving to a more powerful package requires only a mouse click.

Shared Hosting - Downsides

A negative aspect of the shared web hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install additional software programs. Some web portals, especially online shops, request applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can install solely software applications that do not demand complete root access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web pages that need full root access, or if your web site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS is a software simulation of a dedicated machine and it runs in exactly the same way.

Virtual Servers

Both solutions commonly come with full server root privileges and can be restarted via a software program by the user, independently from the web hosting provider. Just like the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated web server plans have diverse characteristics based on what the hosting supplier offers. A virtual web server hosting plan contains guaranteed storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief periods of time in case there are free resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A virtual private web server is simpler to tackle as it ships with a virtualization console, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such an account would rather be utilized by knowledgeable users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, given hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they implement server administration operations on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an extra upgrade.
