Quality Web Hosting

There are different varieties of web hosting packages appropriate for different sites when it comes to the resources or the web hosting platform they need. To choose the most optimal web hosting service for your web page, you must access what server-side software it needs, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may need to be met.

Shared web hosting - Positive Aspects

The most appropriate alternative for small sized web portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which minimizes the overall cost per individual substantially. There are diverse web hosting solutions differing from one provider to another, supplying different quotas of hard disk space and bandwidth, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can purchase an account that will have the specifications your site actually demands. You will not need to pay a lot for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small scale package that cannot host the site. We, at The X Net Systems, offer a huge selection of web hosting packages suitable for private or small business websites that even offer pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you start with a low-cost package and you require more features, moving to a better account takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Negative Aspects

A drawback of the shared website hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate additional software platforms. Specific sites, above all web storefronts, need applications to be present on the server for them to function, and with a shared hosting plan, you can activate only software that does not require complete server root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For websites that require complete server root access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of daily visitors, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual web server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it performs in an exactly identical manner.

Virtual Servers

Both services normally provide server root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the client, independently from the web hosting provider. Just like the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting server plans involve different characteristics depending on what the hosting vendor offers. A VPS web hosting plan has guaranteed disk storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be boosted for brief spells of time if there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A virtual hosting server is easier to cope with as it comprises a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be utilized by tech-savvy customers.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, some hosting corporations provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they perform server management tasks instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional option.
