Best Web Hosting

There are various types of web hosting plans suitable for different sites in regard to the resources or the web hosting platform they require. To choose the most relevant web hosting service for your web portal, you need to evaluate what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be satisfied.

Shared Web Hosting - Good Points

The most proper choice for small sized web pages with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which minimizes the overall cost per user seriously. There are diverse web hosting solutions differing from one hosting supplier to another, supplying different amounts of disk storage space and monthly bandwidth, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can order an account that will include the features your web site really needs. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a package you will not use, or end up with a small size package that cannot accommodate the website. We, at Blue Point Host, offer an immense variety of web hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business portals that even include pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you begin with a less powerful package and you require more system resources, moving to a more advanced package takes only a click.

Shared Web Hosting - Negative Signs

A negative aspect of the shared web hosting environment is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate new software platforms. Specific online portals, particularly online shops, require applications to be activated on the server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting account, you can activate only software that does not need complete server root access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For portals that demand complete server root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even millions of visits per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated server and it functions in an absolutely identical way.

VPSs

Both platforms normally include root-level access and can be restarted via a software interface by the client, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Like the shared hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server web hosting accounts involve different specs depending on what the web hosting provider offers. A Virtual Private Server hosting plan includes guaranteed data storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for short spells of time provided that there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A virtual private hosting server is easier to run as it arrives with a virtualization console, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, check statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be used by trained clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, some providers provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they execute dedicated web server administration procedures on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional option.

Prior To Deciding...

Picking the top hosting plan is important as it can affect the proper work of a online portal. Prior to opting for a package, compare the pros and cons, investigate carefully all the prerequisites for the website to function properly, especially if it is script-based.
