Top Web Hosting

There are different sorts of web hosting accounts appropriate for different websites with regard to the system resources or the web hosting environment they require. To select the most suitable web hosting service for your web site, you need to judge 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 demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Benefits

The most appropriate alternative for small scale online portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of site hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total price per customer markedly. There are different web hosting solutions differing from one hosting vendor to another, supplying different quotas of disk storage and monthly bandwidth, different email quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can buy a plan that will provide the specs your web page really requires. You will not have to pay a lot for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small sized plan that cannot host the site. We, at Hosting Nigeria, offer an extensive collection of web hosting accounts suitable for private or small business web pages that even include pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you begin with a low priced plan and you require more system resources, moving to a more advanced package requires only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Weak Points

A drawback of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate additional software programs. Certain web pages, particularly online storefronts, request software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate only software platforms that do not demand full root-level access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For portals that require full server root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of visitors per day, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A virtual private web hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it functions in a strictly identical manner.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both environments typically provide server root access and can be restarted through a software interface by the client, independently from the hosting supplier. Similar to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web hosting packages involve different characteristics depending on what the web hosting provider offers. A virtual hosting server plan contains guaranteed storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be extended for brief periods of time provided that there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A virtual web hosting server is easier to administer as it comprises a virtualization platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, explore stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such an account would rather be resorted to by practiced clients.

Dedicated Servers

However, some web hosting companies offer managed dedicated web server hosting services where they complete dedicated server management tasks instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.

Before You Opt...
