Top Hosting

There are different types of hosting accounts appropriate for different web portals in terms of the resources or the hosting platform they need. To select the most optimal hosting service for your web site, you need to reckon what server-side software applications it needs, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be answered.

Shared website hosting - Strong Points

The most proper choice for small sized web sites with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of web site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the overall price per client markedly. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one hosting company to another, providing different quotas of disk storage and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can pay for an account that will offer the specs your web site actually demands. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for an account you will not make use of, or end up with a small sized package that cannot host the online portal. We, at EI CLOUD WEB HOST, offer a big choice of hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business web pages that even include pre-activated script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you commence with a low-end package and you demand more system resources, moving to a better plan requires only a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Negative Points

A shortcoming of the shared website hosting solution is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate additional software platforms. Given websites, particularly online shops, demand applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting account, you can activate solely software applications that do not need complete root-level access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web pages that request server root access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of viewers per day, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual web server is a software simulation of a dedicated solution and it works in a strictly identical way.

Virtual Private Servers

Both services generally provide full root privileges and can be rebooted via a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated hosting server accounts sport different specs based on what the web hosting supplier offers. A private virtual server package offers guaranteed data space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be extended for brief intervals of time on condition that there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A private virtual web server is easier to administer as it comprises a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, examine statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by trained clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, certain web hosting providers provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated hosting server management procedures instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an additional feature.
