Top Web Hosting

There are different kinds of web hosting packages appropriate for different web portals in regard to the system resources or the web hosting platform they demand. To select the most suitable web hosting service for your website, you need to judge what server-side software applications it requires, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared website hosting - Dividends

The most proper choice for small sized websites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which minimizes the overall price per client noticeably. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one hosting vendor to another, offering different amounts of data storage space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail quotas and so on. The plus is that you can purchase a package that will provide the specs your website indeed demands. You will not have to pay lots of cash for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small package that cannot shelter the website. We, at Catholic Web Hosting Services, offer a wide choice of web hosting plans suitable for personal or small business portals that even include pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you begin with a less powerful plan and you demand more functionalities, upgrading to a better account requires just a click.

Shared website hosting - Weak Points

A weakness of the shared website hosting solution is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot install new software programs. Specific web pages, chiefly web storefronts, request applications to be activated on the web server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install only software platforms that do not demand full root-level access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web portals that require full server root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even millions of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated server and it functions in an absolutely identical manner.

VPS Servers

Both solutions normally provide root access and can be restarted through a software interface by the client, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Like the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server accounts come with diverse characteristics based on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A VPS web hosting account has guaranteed storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enhanced for short periods of time if there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A virtual web server is simpler to manage as it arrives with a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, examine statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such an account would rather be utilized by trained clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, certain web hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they implement dedicated web hosting server administration procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an extra option.
