Best Website Hosting

There are different varieties of website hosting packages suitable for different web portals with regard to the resources or the website hosting platform they demand. To choose the best website hosting service for your web portal, you have to calculate what server-side software applications it demands, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be answered.

Shared website hosting - Virtues

The most optimal alternative for small sized online portals with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of website hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which decreases the total cost per person considerably. There are diverse web hosting plans differing from one host to another, supplying different amounts of storage space and traffic, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can pay for an account that will include the specs your web page indeed demands. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a package you will not use, or end up with a small account that cannot accommodate the web site. We, at Lirix, offer a large variety of website hosting plans suitable for personal or small business portals that even provide pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you begin with a less powerful account and you require more functionalities, moving to a more feature-rich package takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Weak Sides

A negative side of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install additional software platforms. Certain web sites, especially web stores, require applications to be available on the web server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate only software applications that do not demand full server root access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web pages that request full server root access, or if your site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily visitors, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A private virtual server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it acts in an exactly identical way.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both environments commonly include full server root privileges and can be restarted via a software interface by the user, independently from the web hosting provider. Much like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server plans include diverse specifications depending on what the hosting provider has to offer. A virtual web server package has guaranteed server storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for brief stretches of time on condition that there are spare 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 configured by altering or adding components. A Virtual Private Server is simpler to run as it ships with a virtualization console, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, check statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such an account would rather be resorted to by qualified customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Still, given hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they implement dedicated web hosting server management tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an additional feature.

Prior To Selecting...
