Top Web Hosting

There are various types of web hosting accounts appropriate for different sites with regard to the system resources or the web hosting platform they need. To pick the most optimal web hosting service for your site, you need to access what server-side software applications it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may need to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Assets

The best alternative for small scale websites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of website hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall price per person noticeably. There are different web hosting accounts varying from one web host to another, furnishing different amounts of data storage space and monthly bandwidth, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can get a package that will have the specs your web portal indeed demands. You will not have to pay lots of money for an account you will not make use of, or wind up with a small account that cannot host the online portal. We, at IDEA MD Hosting, offer a wide variety of web hosting solutions appropriate for private or small business websites that even provide pre-activated script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you kick off with a low grade package and you demand more resources, upgrading to a more advanced package involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Negative Sides

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install additional software programs. Given web portals, particularly web shops, demand software applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can activate solely software that does not demand server root access.

VPS Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web portals that require root access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of daily visits, what you need is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A virtual hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it acts in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both platforms typically give full root access and can be restarted via a software program by the client, independently from the hosting provider. Just like the shared hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server hosting accounts contain different features depending on what the hosting vendor offers. A VPS hosting server package includes guaranteed web storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be boosted for short stretches of time in case there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is simpler to administer as it arrives with a virtualization console, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, explore statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by trained clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, certain web hosting providers offer managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they implement server management tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra feature.
