Quality Hosting

There are different types of hosting solutions appropriate for different web pages with regard to the system resources or the hosting environment they demand. To pick the most adequate hosting service for your web site, you need to evaluate what server-side software applications it needs, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared website hosting - Strong Points

The most proper option for small scale online portals with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web space hosting, each user pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall price per person seriously. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one hosting vendor to another, delivering different quotas of hard disk space and monthly traffic, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can buy a package that will include the specifications your web portal actually needs. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a package you will not utilize, or end up with a small scale package that cannot accommodate the online portal. We, at IRCMRU Hosting, offer a huge assortment of hosting plans suitable for personal or small business websites that even include pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a low-end plan and you require more functionalities, moving to a more feature-rich account demands only a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Disadvantages

A weakness of the shared web hosting solution is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install additional software programs. Specific websites, above all online storefronts, require software applications to be present on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install solely software programs that do not request complete root access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web pages that demand server root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated server. A Virtual Private Server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated solution and it runs in a strictly identical way.

Private Virtual Servers

Both environments typically give server root access and can be restarted through a software platform by the client, autonomously from the hosting company. Similar to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated server packages involve different features depending on what the web hosting supplier offers. A virtual private web server package offers guaranteed hard disk storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be boosted for brief intervals of time provided that there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A private virtual server is easier to run as it involves a virtualization platform, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be resorted to by proficient users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, certain web hosting corporations offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they perform server management operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional service.

Opting for the top hosting plan is vital as it can influence the stable performance of a web page.
