Best Hosting

There are various kinds of hosting accounts suitable for different web portals in relation to the system resources or the hosting environment they demand. To pick the most adequate hosting service for your web portal, you need to evaluate what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Benefits

The most optimal choice for small web pages with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of website hosting, each client pays only for their account, which reduces the total cost per user considerably. There are diverse web hosting accounts varying from one hosting provider to another, supplying different quotas of disk storage space and web traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for a plan that will provide the specifications your online portal really needs. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small package that cannot accommodate the website. We, at MurnHost, offer a big choice of hosting packages appropriate for private or small business web portals that even provide pre-installed script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you start with a low grade plan and you require more functionalities, upgrading to a high-end account demands only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Negative Sides

A negative side of the shared website hosting environment is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install additional software applications. Certain web sites, especially web shops, request software applications to be activated on the server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate only software platforms that do not request full server root access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For portals that need full server root access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS web hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated machine and it functions in an exactly identical manner.

Private Virtual Servers

Both platforms generally offer complete root access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the user, independently from the web hosting supplier. Just like the shared hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated web server hosting packages involve diverse functionalities depending on what the hosting company has to offer. A private virtual server web hosting account includes guaranteed web storage space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for brief intervals of time on condition that there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A virtual web hosting server is easier to tackle as it arrives with a virtualization platform, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, examine statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by proficient customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, certain providers offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated server administration procedures instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional service.

Prior To Choosing...

Settling on the top hosting package is important as it can influence the proper functioning of a web page. Before opting for a plan, compare the pros and cons, examine thoroughly all the requirements for the web page to perform properly, especially if it is script-powered.
