Quality Hosting

There are various sorts of hosting packages appropriate for different sites with regard to the system resources or the hosting environment they require. To choose the most proper hosting service for your site, you must evaluate what server-side software programs it needs, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be answered.

Shared website hosting - Privileges

The most relevant option for small sized sites with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this type of webspace hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the total price per user drastically. There are different web hosting accounts differing from one web hosting supplier to another, providing different quotas of hard disk space and traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can purchase a plan that will offer the features your website indeed needs. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small package that cannot accommodate the site. We, at DMZ Hosting, offer a big choice of hosting plans suitable for personal or small business web pages that even include pre-activated script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you start with a cheaper package and you require more system resources, moving to a more powerful account demands only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Points

A weakness of the shared website hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate new software applications. Specific online portals, above all web storefronts, demand software applications to be installed on the server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting package, you can install solely software programs that do not request full root-level access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Servers

For sites that need complete server root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of visitors per day, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated package. A Virtual Private Server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web server and it operates in exactly the same way.

Virtual Web Servers

Both services typically give full root-level access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Akin to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated hosting server plans contain different specifications depending on what the hosting provider offers. A private virtual server plan includes guaranteed disk storage, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for brief stretches of time provided that there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A VPS hosting server is easier to cope with as it offers a virtualization panel, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by competent users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, given web hosting providers offer managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they execute dedicated web hosting server administration procedures instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra service.
