Quality Web Hosting

There are different sorts of web hosting plans suitable for different web sites when it comes to the system resources or the web hosting environment they require. To select the most adequate web hosting service for your web site, you have to reckon what server-side software programs it requires, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be covered.

Shared website hosting - Advantages

The most appropriate alternative for small size websites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this type of webspace hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which lowers the total price per person considerably. There are diverse web hosting solutions varying from one company to another, delivering different quotas of server storage and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can get a package that will include the specs your website in fact needs. You will not need to pay plenty of money for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small account that cannot shelter the web site. We, at SDA Services, offer a wide selection of web hosting packages suitable for personal or small business websites that even offer pre-activated script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you start with a low-cost plan and you require more system resources, moving to a high-end account involves only a click.

Shared web hosting - Shortcomings

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Certain web sites, mainly online storefronts, require software applications to be present on the server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting package, you can install only software applications that do not need root access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For online portals that demand full server root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visitors, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated solution and it works in absolutely the same way.

Virtual Private Servers

Both environments commonly come with root-level access and can be rebooted via a software tool by the user, independently from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server hosting accounts involve different characteristics depending on what the web hosting vendor offers. A VPS server plan contains guaranteed server space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for brief intervals of time on condition that there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A VPS hosting server is easier to manage as it arrives with virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be used by skilled clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, certain web hosts provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they perform dedicated hosting server management tasks instead of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra service.

Before You Decide...

Choosing the top hosting plan is important as it can have an effect on the stable operation of a website. Prior to selecting an account, weigh the pros and cons, inspect carefully all the preconditions for the web portal to function properly, especially if it is script-driven.
