Best Web Hosting

There are different types of web hosting packages suitable for different sites in relation to the resources or the web hosting platform they need. To pick the most adequate web hosting service for your website, you need to estimate what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be answered.

Shared Hosting - Positive Points

The most optimal option for small size sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this type of hosting, each user pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall cost per user seriously. There are different web hosting plans differing from one web hosting firm to another, offering different amounts of web space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can purchase a package that will have the resources your web portal actually requires. You will not have to pay lots of money for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small package that cannot accommodate the website. We, at PN Scripts, offer a wide choice of web hosting packages suitable for private or small business web sites that even include pre-activated script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you kick off with a low grade plan and you demand more system resources, upgrading to a more feature-rich plan takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Disadvantages

A negative aspect of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate new software. Certain web sites, particularly web storefronts, request software applications to be installed on the server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can install solely software platforms that do not require full root-level access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that request full root-level access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of visitors per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual web server is a software imitation of a dedicated server and it works in strictly the same way.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms generally offer complete root access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the user, independently from the web hosting supplier. Like the shared website hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting packages contain different characteristics depending on what the web hosting supplier offers. A virtual web server hosting plan has guaranteed server space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for short periods of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A VPS web server is easier to handle as it arrives with virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, check statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be used by tech-savvy clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, some web hosting vendors offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they complete dedicated web hosting server management assignments instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra feature.

Before You Select...

Settling on the top hosting package is important as it can affect the proper operation of a site.
