Best Hosting

There are various kinds of hosting accounts suitable for different web sites in terms of the resources or the hosting environment they require. To choose the most relevant hosting service for your website, you have to evaluate what server-side software applications it needs, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be met.

Shared Hosting - Assets

The best option for small size websites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of web site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall cost per client seriously. There are diverse web hosting plans varying from one hosting provider to another, furnishing different amounts of data storage space and monthly traffic, different mail quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can obtain a package that will provide the features your web page indeed requires. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small size account that cannot shelter the web portal. We, at EtqanIS, offer an immense collection of hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business web sites that even provide pre-installed script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you begin with a less powerful account and you require more features, moving to a more feature-rich package requires only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Downsides

A downside of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install additional software applications. Some websites, particularly web shops, demand software applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared hosting platform, you can install only software that does not need root-level access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web pages that require complete server root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A private virtual hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated solution and it operates in precisely the same manner.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both services normally offer full server root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Just like the shared website hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated server accounts come with different characteristics based on what the web hosting supplier offers. A VPS web server account offers guaranteed server storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be expanded for brief periods of time if there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be revved up by changing or appending components. A Virtual Private Server is easier to manage as it includes a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by tech-savvy customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, given hosting corporations provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they perform dedicated web server management procedures instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional feature.
