Top Web Hosting

There are different types of web hosting solutions suitable for different web pages when it comes to the resources or the web hosting environment they require. To select the most adequate web hosting service for your site, you need to calculate what server-side software applications it demands, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be answered.

Shared Web Hosting - Strong Sides

The most suitable alternative for small size web pages with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which lowers the total price per user drastically. There are different web hosting plans varying from one web hosting company to another, delivering different amounts of hard disk storage space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can obtain an account that will have the specifications your online portal actually needs. You will not need to pay lots of money for a plan you will not make use of, or end up with a small sized package that cannot shelter the website. We, at Tropical Hosting, offer a big variety of web hosting packages appropriate for private or small business pages that even include pre-activated script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you start with a cheaper package and you demand more resources, moving to a more powerful package requires only a click.

Shared Website Hosting - Minuses

A negative side of the shared website hosting platform is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate new software. Given web sites, mainly online storefronts, require applications to be available on the web server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can activate only software applications that do not demand complete root access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that need full server root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated server and it functions in an absolutely identical manner.

Both solutions usually include root privileges and can be restarted via a software tool by the user, independently from the hosting company. Akin to the shared hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting packages contain different functionalities based on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual server plan offers guaranteed data space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be expanded for brief spells of time on condition that there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is utilizing, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A VPS is easier to administer as it offers a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, check statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by experienced clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, certain hosting providers offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they carry out web hosting server administration operations on behalf of the client. This can be a part of plan or an additional upgrade.
