Quality Web Hosting

There are various sorts of web hosting solutions suitable for different web sites when it comes to the system resources or the web hosting environment they demand. To choose the most optimal web hosting service for your online portal, you have to access what server-side software programs it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be met.

Shared website hosting - Positive Aspects

The most proper alternative for small scale web portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this type of web hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall cost per client substantially. There are diverse web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting supplier to another, offering different quotas of web storage and monthly traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can get a plan that will have the specs your web portal indeed requires. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a package you will not use, or end up with a small sized account that cannot shelter the web site. We, at Tropical Hosting, offer a large selection of web hosting solutions appropriate for private or small business pages that even offer pre-installed script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you kick off with a low priced account and you require more resources, upgrading to a high-end account takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared Website Hosting - Negative Points

A negative side of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install additional software programs. Specific online portals, particularly web storefronts, request software applications to be activated on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can activate only software programs that do not demand complete root-level access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web sites that require server root access, or if your portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily visitors, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual web hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated solution and it functions in an exactly identical manner.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both services typically come with server root access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the client, autonomously from the hosting provider. Like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server packages comprise diverse specs based on what the hosting company offers. A virtual server web hosting package has guaranteed hard disk space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for short stretches of time in case there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A virtual web hosting server is easier to handle as it comes with a virtualization platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by proficient users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, some web hosting vendors offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they perform dedicated web hosting server administration operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.
