Top Web Hosting

There are various varieties of web hosting solutions appropriate for different sites in relation to the resources or the web hosting environment they require. To select the most optimal web hosting service for your online portal, you need to reckon what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be met.

Shared web hosting - Positive Sides

The most proper alternative for small size online portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total price per person drastically. There are diverse web hosting plans differing from one web host to another, offering different amounts of storage space and web traffic, different mail address account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can order a package that will offer the features your web page really demands. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small scale package that cannot host the web portal. We, at Idca Hosting, offer an enormous choice of web hosting solutions appropriate for private or small business web pages that even come with pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a low-price plan and you require more features, upgrading to a more advanced account takes only a click.

Shared Hosting - Negative Points

A weakness of the shared web hosting environment is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software applications. Given sites, particularly online stores, need software applications to be available on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate only software that does not require full root-level access.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web pages that require complete root-level access, or if your portal has many thousands or even millions of daily visits, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated server and it runs in absolutely the same way.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both solutions traditionally come with complete root access and can be rebooted via a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the hosting company. Just like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting plans involve different specs based on what the hosting supplier offers. A Virtual Private Server hosting plan includes guaranteed web space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be boosted for brief intervals of time provided that there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A private virtual hosting server is simpler to tackle as it comes with a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, examine stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by knowledgeable clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, some web hosting corporations provide managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they perform dedicated hosting server management procedures instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra feature.

Before You Select...

Opting for the top hosting plan is crucial as it can have an effect on the stable operation of a web portal.
