Top Hosting

There are different kinds of hosting plans appropriate for different web pages when it comes to the system resources or the hosting environment they require. To choose the most optimal hosting service for your site, you must evaluate what server-side software programs it requires, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared website hosting - Perquisites

The most adequate alternative for small sized websites with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of webspace hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall cost per individual drastically. There are different web hosting accounts differing from one hosting corporation to another, delivering different amounts of hard disk storage and monthly traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can get an account that will provide the resources your site in fact needs. You will not need to pay lots of money for a package you will not make use of, or end up with a small size plan that cannot host the web page. We, at DMZ Hosting, offer an enormous array of hosting packages suitable for private or small business web portals that even offer pre-activated script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you begin with a low-cost account and you demand more functionalities, moving to a more advanced plan demands only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Negative Points

A drawback of the shared website hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Certain web pages, mainly web shops, require software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared hosting environment, you can activate solely software programs that do not request root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For online portals that require full root-level access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of visitors per day, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated package. A virtual web server is a software emulation of a dedicated machine and it operates in strictly the same manner.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both platforms normally provide root-level access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the client, independently from the web hosting supplier. Akin to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web server hosting packages contain different functionalities based on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual web server hosting plan offers guaranteed storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be expanded for brief periods of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is using, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A virtual hosting server is easier to manipulate as it comes with a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, explore statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be utilized by competent clients.

Dedicated Servers

Still, some providers offer managed dedicated hosting solutions where they carry out server administration assignments instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional feature.
