Top Hosting

There are different kinds of hosting packages suitable for different sites when it comes to the resources or the hosting environment they require. To select the most adequate hosting service for your web portal, you must access what server-side software programs it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be covered.

Shared Hosting - Dividends

The most relevant option for small scale web sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which reduces the overall cost per customer substantially. There are different web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting supplier to another, furnishing different quotas of disk storage space and traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can buy a plan that will provide the specs your online portal actually requires. You will not have to pay lots of money for a package you will not make use of, or end up with a small scale plan that cannot shelter the web page. We, at Agile Soft, offer a vast collection of hosting plans appropriate for private or small business sites that even include pre-installed script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you begin with a low-end package and you need more features, upgrading to a more powerful package demands just a mouse click.

Shared Hosting - Negative Signs

A weak side of the shared hosting environment is that the servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate new software. Certain online portals, chiefly online stores, request software applications to be installed on the server for them to perform, and with a shared hosting platform, you can install solely software programs that do not demand full root-level access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web sites that require full root access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even millions of viewers per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A private virtual web hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it runs in precisely the same way.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both solutions generally provide complete server root access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the customer, independently from the web hosting company. Like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web server hosting accounts come with diverse specs depending on what the hosting provider offers. A private virtual web hosting server package offers guaranteed disk storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be expanded for short periods of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A virtual hosting server is easier to tackle as it includes a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, explore statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be utilized by tech-savvy customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, some web hosting providers provide managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they run web server administration assignments instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional service.

Prior To Electing...

Selecting the top hosting plan is vital as it can affect the proper performance of a online portal. Before picking a package, weigh the pros and cons, examine carefully all the requirements for the web portal to run properly, especially if it is script-driven.
