Top Web Hosting

There are different kinds of web hosting services appropriate for different web pages in terms of the resources or the web hosting platform they need. To select the best web hosting service for your online portal, you need to reckon what server-side software programs it demands, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be satisfied.

Shared website hosting - Positive Points

The most proper choice for small scale online portals with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which diminishes the total cost per person substantially. There are different web hosting accounts differing from one hosting firm to another, offering different amounts of data storage space and monthly bandwidth, different mail quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can buy a package that will include the specifications your web page in fact requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a package you will not avail of, or end up with a small size package that cannot accommodate the website. We, at My Media Anywhere, LLC, offer a huge choice of web hosting plans suitable for private or small business portals that even offer pre-activated script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you start with a low-price plan and you demand more functionalities, upgrading to a more powerful plan demands just a click.

Shared Web Hosting - Disadvantages

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software platforms. Some sites, particularly online storefronts, need applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared hosting platform, you can activate solely software applications that do not require complete root access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For portals that request full root-level access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of daily viewers, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A private virtual web server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated solution and it performs in an absolutely identical way.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both environments generally offer full server root access and can be rebooted through a software platform by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting company. Like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web server hosting accounts contain different features based on what the web hosting company offers. A VPS web hosting plan has guaranteed server space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for brief intervals of time provided that there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A virtual web hosting server is simpler to manage as it includes a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, explore statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such an account would rather be utilized by qualified users.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, given web hosting providers offer managed dedicated server web hosting services where they perform server administration operations on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra option.
