Top Hosting

There are different varieties of hosting packages suitable for different sites when it comes to the resources or the hosting platform they need. To select the most proper hosting service for your web portal, you have to reckon what server-side software it requires, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be satisfied.

Shared Hosting - Strong Sides

The most relevant choice for small sized web sites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which decreases the total cost per individual drastically. There are various web hosting packages varying from one hosting company to another, providing different amounts of hard disk space and web traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can buy a plan that will include the resources your website really needs. You will not have to pay a lot of money for an account you will not avail of, or end up with a small size package that cannot shelter the site. We, at CXF Host, offer a wide choice of hosting packages suitable for private or small business portals that even come with pre-activated script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you commence with a less powerful package and you require more resources, upgrading to a high-end package requires only a mouse click.

Shared Website Hosting - Downsides

A negative aspect of the shared web hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot install new software. Certain websites, mainly web shops, need software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate only software that does not request full root-level access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web pages that demand complete root-level access, or if your web page has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS web hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated solution and it behaves in a strictly identical manner.

Both platforms usually come with complete root access and can be rebooted via a software program by the customer, autonomously from the hosting company. Like the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated server plans sport diverse characteristics based on what the web hosting supplier offers. A virtual web hosting server package includes guaranteed disk space, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be boosted for short intervals of time on condition that there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A VPS web hosting server is simpler to manage as it involves a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be used by competent clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, certain hosting providers provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated server administration assignments on behalf of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra upgrade.

Prior To Opting...

Opting for the top hosting package is important as it can affect the proper functioning of a web portal. Prior to opting for a plan, compare the pros and cons, appraise completely all the prerequisites for the online portal to run properly, particularly if it is script-powered.
