Top Web Hosting

There are different varieties of web hosting packages suitable for different web sites in terms of the resources or the web hosting platform they require. To pick the most optimal web hosting service for your site, you have to calculate what server-side software applications it needs, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared website hosting - Positive Signs

The most optimal option for small sized web portals with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of web hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which minimizes the overall price per user considerably. There are various web hosting packages varying from one hosting supplier to another, furnishing different quotas of data storage and bandwidth, different e-mail quotas and so on. The good point is that you can purchase a plan that will include the resources your site in fact needs. You will not have to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small scale package that cannot host the web page. We, at BlueCap, offer a vast selection of web hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business portals that even provide pre-activated script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you start with a cheaper package and you require more features, upgrading to a more feature-rich package involves just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Weak Sides

A weak side of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate new software applications. Given web pages, above all online shops, require software applications to be present on the web server for them to work, and with a shared hosting plan, you can activate only software platforms that do not demand full root-level access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that demand root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even millions of visitors per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS is a software simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it runs in an absolutely identical manner.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both services traditionally offer full root privileges and can be rebooted through a software platform by the client, independently from the hosting supplier. Like the shared hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting server accounts contain different features depending on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS hosting package includes guaranteed data space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be increased for brief intervals of time if there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A virtual web server is easier to run as it involves virtualization software, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, check statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by tech-savvy clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, some web hosting providers provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they implement web hosting server management assignments instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra option.

Before You Reach a Decision...

Selecting the top hosting plan is crucial as it can have an influence on the proper work of a web portal. Before opting for a package, weigh the pros and cons, inspect carefully all the preconditions for the online portal to run properly, particularly if it is script-driven.
