Top Web Hosting

There are different types of web hosting plans suitable for different web sites with regard to the system resources or the web hosting platform they need. To select the best web hosting service for your web site, you must reckon what server-side software it requires, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared website hosting - Virtues

The most suitable alternative for small web sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of web hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which diminishes the total cost per person considerably. There are different web hosting accounts differing from one web hosting firm to another, furnishing different quotas of server space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can buy a plan that will offer the specs your site in fact demands. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small size plan that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at Blue Point Host, offer a huge assortment of web hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business web sites that even come with pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you begin with a basic account and you demand more resources, upgrading to a better package involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Minuses

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install new software. Some web pages, especially web storefronts, require applications to be present on the hosting server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate solely software applications that do not need full root-level access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For sites that demand full root-level access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated solution and it functions in an exactly identical way.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both environments usually provide full root privileges and can be rebooted through a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server accounts have different features depending on what the web hosting supplier offers. A VPS web server hosting package has guaranteed disk space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for short spells of time on condition that there are available 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 private virtual hosting server is easier to run as it arrives with a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such a package would rather be utilized by tech-savvy users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Still, certain hosting firms provide managed dedicated server hosting services where they complete server administration procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional service.
