Best Hosting

There are different types of hosting plans appropriate for different web portals with regard to the system resources or the hosting platform they demand. To choose the most adequate hosting service for your site, you must estimate what server-side software programs it needs, how many visits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Positive Aspects

The most suitable choice for small sized web portals with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which decreases the total price per person drastically. There are different web hosting plans varying from one web hosting corporation to another, offering different quotas of web space and web traffic, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can purchase a package that will have the features your site indeed needs. You will not need to pay plenty of cash for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot shelter the website. We, at OKCISP (OKC's Internet Space Provider), offer a big choice of hosting plans suitable for personal or small business sites that even offer pre-activated script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you commence with a low-cost plan and you need more resources, upgrading to a better package involves only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Weak Sides

A weakness of the shared web hosting solution is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate new software platforms. Given web pages, chiefly web shops, need applications to be activated on the web server for them to function, and with a shared hosting solution, you can install solely software that does not request server root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web portals that need server root access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of daily visits, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated package. A Virtual Private Server is a software emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it works in absolutely the same way.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both environments traditionally give full root-level access and can be restarted via a software program by the customer, independently from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated hosting packages contain different characteristics based on what the web hosting provider offers. A Virtual Private Server web hosting package offers guaranteed disk storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be increased for short spells of time on condition that there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A VPS is easier to tackle as it comes with virtualization software, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, explore statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be used by competent users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Yet, certain web hosts offer managed dedicated server web hosting services where they execute web hosting server administration assignments instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional upgrade.

Prior To Opting...

Selecting the top hosting package is vital as it can have an influence on the proper operation of a web page. Before picking a package, compare the pros and cons, investigate carefully all the preconditions for the web portal to operate properly, especially if it is script-based.
