Top Hosting

There are various sorts of hosting accounts suitable for different websites with regard to the system resources or the hosting environment they require. To choose the most suitable hosting service for your website, you must calculate what server-side software it requires, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Positive Sides

The most appropriate option for small sized web sites with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of website hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the total cost per user critically. There are various web hosting packages varying from one hosting firm to another, supplying different quotas of server storage space and monthly bandwidth, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can get a package that will offer the specifications your website in fact demands. You will not have to pay a lot of money for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small size package that cannot accommodate the site. We, at Terabit, offer a great variety of hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business web pages that even provide pre-activated script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you commence with a low-cost package and you require more system resources, moving to a more advanced package demands just a click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Sides

A drawback of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Given websites, particularly online shops, request software applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can install solely software that does not demand full root access.

VPSs and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web portals that need root access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS web hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated machine and it acts in exactly the same way.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms normally provide root access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Similar to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated web server plans involve diverse specifications based on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS server package has guaranteed hard disk storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for short periods of time in case there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is using, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A private virtual server is simpler to cope with as it involves a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, check stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be used by knowledgeable users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, some hosting providers provide managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they perform web hosting server administration assignments instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional upgrade.
