Quality Hosting

There are different kinds of hosting accounts suitable for different web portals with regard to the resources or the hosting environment they require. To pick the most optimal hosting service for your web portal, you have to estimate what server-side software applications it needs, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may need to be satisfied.

Shared Hosting - Perks

The most adequate choice for small size web portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of website hosting, each client pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall cost per client considerably. There are diverse web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting firm to another, supplying different quotas of data storage and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can purchase a plan that will have the specs your web portal actually requires. You will not need to pay lots of money for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small size package that cannot accommodate the online portal. We, at Billixx LLC, offer a huge collection of hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business pages that even come with pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you start with a low-cost account and you need more functionalities, moving to a high-end account requires just a click.

Shared Website Hosting - Disadvantages

A downside of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Some web pages, mainly online storefronts, demand software applications to be available on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting platform, you can install solely software applications that do not request server root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web portals that demand full root access, or if your web page has many thousands or even millions of daily viewers, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated package. A virtual hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it works in a strictly identical manner.

Virtual Private Servers

Both environments normally include complete root access and can be rebooted through a software program by the client, autonomously from the hosting company. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated server web hosting plans comprise different specifications based on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual private web server hosting package contains guaranteed hard disk storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can occasionally be expanded for short spells of time in case there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A private virtual server is easier to cope with as it involves a virtualization platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be used by skilled users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, some hosting firms provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they carry out hosting server administration procedures instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional option.
