Best Hosting

There are various varieties of hosting packages suitable for different web sites in terms of the system resources or the hosting platform they demand. To pick the most proper hosting service for your site, you need to evaluate what server-side software programs it demands, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be met.

Shared website hosting - Privileges

The most appropriate option for small scale sites with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of site hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which minimizes the total cost per client substantially. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one web hosting company to another, offering different amounts of hard disk storage space and monthly traffic, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can purchase a package that will provide the specs your online portal indeed demands. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a package you will not make use of, or end up with a small plan that cannot accommodate the website. We, at HUGOHOST, offer an extensive variety of hosting packages appropriate for private or small business portals that even offer pre-activated script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a low grade plan and you demand more system resources, upgrading to a better plan demands only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Signs

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install additional software programs. Certain web pages, mainly web shops, require software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting package, you can activate only software that does not require complete server root access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For websites that require full root access, or if your web page has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual web hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web server and it performs in a precisely identical manner.

VPS Web Servers

Both environments traditionally give complete root-level access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the client, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Like the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated hosting server accounts contain diverse specifications based on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS web hosting server package has guaranteed web storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be extended for brief spans of time provided that there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A virtual server is simpler to handle as it comes with a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, examine stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such an account would rather be utilized by practiced clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, some hosts provide managed dedicated hosting services where they execute dedicated server management operations on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional upgrade.
