Quality Hosting

There are various types of hosting packages suitable for different web portals when it comes to the system resources or the hosting environment they demand. To select the most suitable hosting service for your site, you need to evaluate what server-side software it requires, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be fulfilled.

The most adequate alternative for small scale online portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which reduces the total price per user noticeably. There are various web hosting packages varying from one web hosting supplier to another, furnishing different quotas of disk space and traffic, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can get a package that will provide the features your web page indeed demands. You will not need to pay lots of money for a package you will not utilize, or end up with a small scale account that cannot shelter the website. We, at DaliHost, offer an immense selection of hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business pages that even offer pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a low priced account and you need more resources, moving to a more feature-rich plan requires only a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Negative Signs

A negative side of the shared website hosting solution is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Given web portals, above all online shops, need software applications to be installed on the server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install only software programs that do not request root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

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

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both solutions typically provide root privileges and can be rebooted through a software program by the customer, independently from the hosting supplier. Akin to the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated hosting server accounts come with diverse characteristics depending on what the web hosting vendor offers. A virtual private web server hosting plan includes guaranteed storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be increased for brief stretches of time in case there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be revved up by changing or appending components. A virtual web hosting server is easier to cope with as it comes with virtualization software, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be resorted to by qualified users.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, given hosting firms provide managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they perform server administration operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional upgrade.

Prior To Reaching a Decision...

Opting for the top hosting plan is vital as it can affect the proper operation of a web portal. Before settling on a package, compare the pros and cons, appraise carefully all the preconditions for the web page to run properly, especially if it is script-driven.
