Top Web Hosting

There are different kinds of web hosting solutions appropriate for different websites in terms of the resources or the web hosting platform they need. To pick the most appropriate web hosting service for your online portal, you need to evaluate what server-side software applications it needs, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be covered.

Shared website hosting - Upsides

The most appropriate choice for small web sites with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of web space hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total cost per individual radically. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one hosting company to another, offering different amounts of server space and monthly bandwidth, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can purchase a package that will offer the specs your web portal really requires. You will not have to pay lots of cash for an account you will not use, or end up with a small package that cannot host the site. We, at Queen Bee Hosting, offer a vast assortment of web hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business web sites that even include pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a low-cost plan and you require more system resources, upgrading to a more powerful plan demands just a click.

Shared Web Hosting - Drawbacks

A negative aspect of the shared website hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate additional software programs. Specific web portals, especially online stores, request software applications to be activated on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can install solely software that does not need complete server root access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Servers

For sites that require complete root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A Virtual Private Server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated server and it works in strictly the same manner.

Private Virtual Servers

Both environments commonly come with full root access and can be restarted via a software platform by the client, independently from the web hosting supplier. Just like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting packages involve different features based on what the hosting company offers. A virtual private web server account has guaranteed disk storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for brief stretches of time in case there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is utilizing, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A VPS server is simpler to manage as it comes with a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, monitor statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by trained users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, certain companies provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they perform dedicated web hosting server administration procedures on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra service.
