Quality Web Hosting

There are various types of web hosting accounts appropriate for different web pages in terms of the resources or the web hosting platform they need. To pick the most adequate web hosting service for your web site, you have to estimate what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be covered.

Shared Website Hosting - Dividends

The most relevant option for small scale online portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which reduces the overall price per individual considerably. There are various web hosting packages varying from one web host to another, delivering different amounts of data storage space and bandwidth, different email address account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can pay for an account that will provide the specs your website actually requires. You will not need to pay lots of money for an account you will not avail of, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot host the site. We, at Queen Bee Hosting, offer a huge assortment of web hosting solutions appropriate for private or small business pages that even include pre-activated script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you commence with a low grade account and you demand more resources, moving to a more advanced plan demands just a click.

Shared Hosting - Negative Signs

A downside of the shared website hosting platform is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install additional software. Some websites, particularly online stores, require software applications to be activated on the server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can install only software platforms that do not require full server root access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For sites that require root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even millions of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS is a virtual imitation of a dedicated machine and it behaves in an exactly identical manner.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both services traditionally provide full root access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the client, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server hosting accounts contain diverse specifications depending on what the hosting company has to offer. A private virtual hosting server account offers guaranteed storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be expanded for short intervals of time provided that there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A VPS web server is easier to cope with as it involves a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, monitor stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more elaborate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by competent clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, some hosting providers provide managed dedicated hosting services where they run web hosting server administration operations on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra upgrade.
