There are different sorts of hosting solutions appropriate for different websites in terms of the resources or the hosting platform they require.

The most appropriate option for small scale sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall cost per customer substantially. There are various web hosting accounts differing from one hosting firm to another, furnishing different amounts of storage space and web traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can obtain a package that will have the specifications your website in fact needs. You will not need to pay lots of cash for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small scale package that cannot shelter the online portal. We, at CXF Host, offer a vast array of hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business sites that even include pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you start with a low-end plan and you require more resources, upgrading to a more advanced plan requires only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Shortcomings

A drawback of the shared website hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate additional software programs. Specific online portals, particularly online shops, need software applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate solely software that does not need complete root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web portals that need full server root access, or if your site has many thousands or even millions of viewers per day, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual private hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web server and it behaves in an exactly identical way.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both environments commonly include full server root access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the user, independently from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared website hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated server web hosting plans involve diverse specifications depending on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A Virtual Private Server plan contains guaranteed hard disk space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can occasionally be expanded for short spans of time in case there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is simpler to manage as it arrives with a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, examine stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such an account would rather be utilized by trained clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, certain hosting corporations offer managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they implement server administration procedures instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra feature.
