Top Hosting

There are various types of hosting solutions suitable for different sites with regard to the system resources or the hosting environment they require. To select the most adequate hosting service for your web portal, you must calculate what server-side software it demands, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared Web Hosting - Dividends

The most suitable option for small size online portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of webspace hosting, each user pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall cost per customer markedly. There are various web hosting solutions varying from one provider to another, delivering different quotas of web storage and monthly bandwidth, different mail address account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can get a package that will include the specifications your web site actually demands. You will not need to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not make use of, or end up with a small plan that cannot accommodate the site. We, at Exaquad, offer a huge variety of hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business web portals that even offer pre-installed script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you kick off with a low-cost package and you require more system resources, moving to a more feature-rich account takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Weak Points

A weakness of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install new software applications. Specific web portals, especially online stores, require applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate only software that does not require root access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For websites that require full root access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visitors, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated package. A virtual hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it operates in strictly the same manner.

VPS Web Servers

Both services typically provide full server root privileges and can be rebooted via a software interface by the user, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Like the shared hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated server accounts contain diverse functionalities based on what the web hosting vendor offers. A virtual web hosting server account includes guaranteed server storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief spells of time on condition that there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A virtual hosting server is simpler to handle as it includes a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, examine stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be utilized by tech-savvy clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, certain web hosting companies offer managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they run dedicated web server administration tasks instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.

Prior To Opting...

Opting for the top hosting package is essential as it can affect the stable functioning of a site. Before opting for an account, compare the pros and cons, explore thoroughly all the preconditions for the online portal to run properly, particularly if it is script-powered.
