Best Hosting

There are different types of hosting services suitable for different web sites when it comes to the system resources or the hosting platform they require. To select the most optimal hosting service for your web site, you have to judge what server-side software applications it requires, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Positive Sides

The most optimal choice for small web sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this type of webspace hosting, each client pays only for their account, which reduces the overall cost per person seriously. There are different web hosting accounts differing from one hosting supplier to another, supplying different amounts of server storage space and monthly traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can purchase an account that will include the resources your web page indeed requires. You will not have to pay lots of cash for an account you will not avail of, or wind up with a small scale package that cannot shelter the web site. We, at Golden Delta, offer a large selection of hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business portals that even include pre-installed script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you begin with a low priced account and you demand more features, upgrading to a better plan takes just a mouse click.

Shared Website Hosting - Negative Points

A drawback of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install new software programs. Given web sites, above all online shops, need software applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate only software applications that do not demand complete server root access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web sites that require root-level access, or if your website has many thousands or even millions of daily visitors, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual private web server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated solution and it acts in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Web Servers

Both platforms traditionally come with root-level access and can be restarted via a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the hosting company. Much like the shared hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting server plans come with different functionalities depending on what the hosting provider offers. A VPS plan includes guaranteed hard disk storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be enlarged for short stretches of time in case there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A VPS server is simpler to manage as it involves a virtualization panel, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be utilized by qualified customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, given hosting providers offer managed dedicated web server hosting services where they implement dedicated web server management tasks instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional option.

Before You Decide...

Opting for the top hosting package is vital as it can have an effect on the proper performance of a site. Before choosing a plan, weigh the pros and cons, inspect carefully all the requirements for the site to function properly, particularly if it is script-powered.
