Which hosting package will be best for me?

There are different types of web hosting solutions appropriate for different web sites in regard to the resources or the web hosting platform they require. To pick the most appropriate hosting service for your site, you need to calculate what server-side software applications it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be satisfied.

Shared Web Page Hosting - Good Points

The most optimal choice for small size websites with several hundred or site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall cost per individual significantly. There are different web hosting solutions differing from one hosting vendor to another, providing different amounts of server space and bandwidth, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can pay for a plan that will include the resources your site in fact requires. You will not need to pay plenty of money for a package you will not make use of, or end up with a small scale account that cannot host the web site. At Real Biz Host, there is a vast array of shared hosting packages suitable for private or small business pages that even come with pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a low grade account and you require more resources, moving to a more advanced package requires just a click.

Shared Web Site Hosting - Negative Sides

A negative side of the shared web site hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Given web sites, chiefly web stores, demand applications to be present on the hosting server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install solely software that does not demand server root access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web sites that require complete root access, or if your web site has many thousands or even millions of visits per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual private web hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it runs in a strictly identical way.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both environments typically come with server root access and can be rebooted through a software platform by the user, independently from the web hosting supplier. Just like the shared web site hosting plans, the virtual web server hosting and the dedicated web hosting server accounts include diverse characteristics depending on what the web hosting supplier offers. A private virtual hosting server account has guaranteed server space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for short spans of time in case there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A virtual hosting server is simpler to manipulate as it offers virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, explore stats, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be utilized by trained clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, certain providers offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they execute dedicated server administration tasks instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional option.

Before You Select...

Settling on the top hosting package is vital as it can have an influence on the stable performance of a site. Before settling on a package, weigh the pros and cons, check carefully all the preconditions for the web page to operate properly, especially if it is script-powered, and, one more thing, if you have already settled on a web hosting vendor, the best you could do would be to ask their customer support staff for advice as to which plan exactly would be best for the stable functioning of your site.
