Best Hosting

There are various kinds of hosting plans suitable for different websites when it comes to the system resources or the hosting platform they need. To select the most optimal hosting service for your site, you must reckon what server-side software it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be satisfied.

Shared website hosting - Strong Sides

The best option for small sized websites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which minimizes the total price per person markedly. There are various web hosting accounts varying from one host to another, supplying different amounts of hard disk storage and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail quotas and so on. The good point is that you can buy a plan that will provide the resources your web page actually requires. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small sized package that cannot host the web site. We, at City Website Services, offer an immense variety of hosting packages suitable for personal or small business portals that even come with pre-installed script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you begin with a low-end account and you require more system resources, moving to a more advanced plan involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Disadvantages

A weak side of the shared web hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install additional software. Some websites, particularly web stores, request applications to be installed on the server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting package, you can activate solely software that does not demand complete server root access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web pages that demand full root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of visitors per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS web server is a software simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it behaves in a precisely identical manner.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both environments traditionally give full root privileges and can be rebooted via a software tool by the customer, independently from the web hosting company. Analogous to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated web server plans have different specs depending on what the hosting provider offers. A VPS server package has guaranteed web space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be increased for brief spells of time provided that there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A private virtual web hosting server is easier to run as it offers a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such an account would rather be utilized by competent clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, certain hosting companies provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they execute dedicated web server administration procedures instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an additional feature.

Before You Select...

Picking the top hosting package is crucial as it can have an influence on the proper work of a online portal. Prior to opting for an account, compare the pros and cons, inspect carefully all the preconditions for the web site to perform properly, especially if it is script-driven.
