Best Web Hosting

There are various types of web hosting accounts appropriate for different web sites with regard to the system resources or the web hosting platform they need. To pick the most relevant web hosting service for your site, you need to evaluate what server-side software applications it needs, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be met.

Shared Hosting - Perks

The most appropriate alternative for small online portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of webspace hosting, each user pays only for their account, which minimizes the total price per individual markedly. There are various web hosting plans varying from one web hosting company to another, providing different amounts of hard disk space and traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for a plan that will have the features your web portal in fact demands. You will not have to pay lots of money for a package you will not make use of, or wind up with a small plan that cannot accommodate the online portal. We, at KTX Hosting, offer a huge selection of web hosting packages appropriate for private or small business websites that even come with pre-installed script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a basic account and you require more system resources, moving to a more advanced package takes only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Drawbacks

A downside of the shared web hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install additional software programs. Given web pages, mainly online shops, request software applications to be activated on the server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can activate only software platforms that do not demand complete root access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that require complete root access, or if your web site has many thousands or even millions of visitors per day, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual private web hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it operates in absolutely the same manner.

Virtual Servers

Both services typically include full root privileges and can be rebooted through a software interface by the user, independently from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server plans comprise diverse functionalities based on what the hosting provider has to offer. A VPS hosting server package contains guaranteed hard disk storage, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be extended for short spans of time provided that there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A VPS web hosting server is simpler to handle as it includes a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, monitor stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by competent clients.

Dedicated Servers

Still, some web hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they perform web server management assignments on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra upgrade.
