Quality Hosting

There are different types of hosting accounts appropriate for different websites in relation to the system resources or the hosting environment they require. To select the best hosting service for your web page, you have to judge what server-side software it requires, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be met.

The most relevant option for small scale web sites with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which minimizes the overall price per client seriously. There are different web hosting plans varying from one web hosting corporation to another, providing different amounts of data storage and traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can buy a package that will include the specs your web portal indeed demands. You will not need to pay a lot of cash for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small sized plan that cannot shelter the online portal. We, at Hosting India, offer a huge selection of hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business portals that even provide pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you start with a low grade package and you need more functionalities, upgrading to a more advanced package takes just a click.

Shared Website Hosting - Shortcomings

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate new software. Specific websites, above all web storefronts, require software applications to be present on the hosting server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can activate solely software programs that do not request root-level access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For portals that require full server root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated package. A VPS hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated machine and it acts in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms typically come with root access and can be restarted through a software program by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting server accounts comprise diverse specs based on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A VPS server account contains guaranteed web storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be expanded for brief spans of time if there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A virtual web server is easier to manage as it involves a virtualization console, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, explore stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be used by competent clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, given companies offer managed dedicated web server hosting services where they run hosting server administration procedures on behalf of the client. This can be a part of plan or an additional option.
