Best Hosting

There are various types of hosting services suitable for different web sites with regard to the system resources or the hosting platform they demand. To choose the most adequate hosting service for your site, you have to judge what server-side software it needs, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared Website Hosting - Dividends

The most relevant choice for small sized online portals with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which minimizes the overall price per individual substantially. There are different web hosting plans differing from one web hosting supplier to another, furnishing different amounts of web space and monthly bandwidth, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can pay for a package that will provide the specs your site really demands. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not utilize, or wind up with a small sized account that cannot shelter the website. We, at Steele Design Studio limited, offer a wide variety of hosting accounts suitable for private or small business pages that even include pre-installed script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you kick off with a low grade package and you require more functionalities, moving to a high-end package requires just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Weak Points

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate additional software applications. Given online portals, above all online shops, require applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can install solely software that does not need full root-level access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web sites that require root-level access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated machine and it runs in an absolutely identical manner.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both platforms commonly offer full root access and can be restarted via a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Like the shared hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated web server accounts have different functionalities depending on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual server web hosting package has guaranteed disk storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be enlarged for brief intervals of time on condition that there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A VPS web server is easier to tackle as it comprises a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, check stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be used by tech-savvy customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, given web hosts provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they execute dedicated web server administration procedures instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra service.
