Top Hosting

There are various types of hosting solutions suitable for different web portals in regard to the resources or the hosting platform they require. To select the most relevant hosting service for your web page, you must calculate what server-side software it requires, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be met.

Shared website hosting - Perks

The best choice for small size web pages with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which diminishes the overall price per user markedly. There are different web hosting accounts varying from one hosting firm to another, offering different quotas of hard disk storage space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can pay for a plan that will offer the specifications your web page actually requires. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a package you will not utilize, or end up with a small sized plan that cannot accommodate the web site. We, at Cyber Town Hosting, offer a wide choice of hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business websites that even offer pre-activated script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you kick off with a low grade plan and you need more resources, moving to a better plan takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Inconveniences

A downside of the shared hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate new software platforms. Some online portals, above all web storefronts, request software applications to be activated on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting package, you can activate solely software applications that do not need complete root-level access.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that demand 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 web hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated solution and it performs in an exactly identical way.

Both solutions usually give full root-level access and can be restarted through a software tool by the customer, independently from the web hosting company. Akin to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting server packages come with different characteristics depending on what the hosting provider has to offer. A virtual server account has guaranteed server storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for short spells of time in case there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by altering or appending components. A private virtual web server is simpler to run as it ships with a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, examine statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by proficient customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, some web hosting providers offer managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they perform dedicated web server administration operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra feature.
