Quality Hosting

There are various varieties of hosting plans appropriate for different web pages in terms of the system resources or the hosting environment they need. To choose the most suitable hosting service for your web portal, you need to evaluate what server-side software programs it needs, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared Hosting - Positive Points

The most proper choice for small size web pages with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this type of website hosting, each client pays only for their account, which decreases the overall cost per person radically. There are various web hosting solutions differing from one web hosting supplier to another, furnishing different quotas of data space and web traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can get an account that will provide the specifications your online portal actually requires. You will not have to pay a lot for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small sized account that cannot shelter the web page. We, at EI CLOUD WEB HOST, offer a vast assortment of hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business portals that even provide pre-installed script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you start with a low-price package and you need more resources, upgrading to a better plan requires only a click of the mouse.

Shared Website Hosting - Negative Aspects

A negative aspect of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate additional software platforms. Specific online portals, mainly web storefronts, demand applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting package, you can install solely software that does not demand complete root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web sites that demand complete root-level access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A private virtual server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated machine and it operates in strictly the same manner.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers

Both solutions usually give complete server root access and can be restarted through a software interface by the customer, independently from the web hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated hosting server packages contain diverse functionalities based on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual server hosting package offers guaranteed server space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be increased for brief stretches of time on condition that there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A private virtual web server is simpler to tackle as it includes a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, check statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such an account would rather be resorted to by trained users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, certain hosting firms provide managed dedicated hosting services where they implement web server management assignments on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional upgrade.
