Best Hosting

There are various sorts of hosting accounts suitable for different web portals when it comes to the system resources or the hosting environment they need. To pick the most suitable hosting service for your web site, you have to reckon what server-side software it requires, how many visits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be met.

Shared web hosting - Benefits

The most proper choice for small sized sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web space hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall cost per user critically. There are various web hosting solutions differing from one web hosting provider to another, providing different quotas of web space and traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can order a plan that will provide the features your website actually requires. You will not need to pay lots of money for an account you will not avail of, or end up with a small sized account that cannot host the site. We, at Fast PHP Hosting, offer an extensive collection of hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business sites that even provide pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you start with a basic package and you need more functionalities, upgrading to a high-end plan demands only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Weaknesses

A negative aspect of the shared hosting environment is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate new software applications. Certain web portals, chiefly online shops, request applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install only software platforms that do not demand root access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web pages that require root access, or if your web site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated package. A virtual private web server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web server and it acts in a precisely identical way.

Virtual Servers

Both environments normally come with complete root-level access and can be restarted via a software platform by the user, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Akin to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated hosting plans involve diverse specifications based on what the web hosting vendor offers. A VPS web server plan contains guaranteed data space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for short spells of time on condition that there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A virtual private web server is simpler to run as it comes with a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, explore statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be utilized by practiced customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, certain hosting companies provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they carry out web hosting server management operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra option.
