Top Hosting

There are different sorts of hosting accounts suitable for different web sites in terms of the system resources or the hosting platform they need. To choose the best hosting service for your site, you need to judge what server-side software it demands, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may have to be met.

Shared Web Hosting - Privileges

The most suitable option for small size web sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this form of website hosting, each client pays only for their account, which diminishes the total price per person noticeably. There are diverse web hosting solutions differing from one web hosting vendor to another, furnishing different quotas of hard disk storage and monthly traffic, different email quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can purchase an account that will provide the specifications your web site in fact needs. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a package you will not avail of, or end up with a small size package that cannot shelter the web page. We, at My Business Companion, offer a huge array of hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business sites that even come with pre-installed script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you begin with a low priced plan and you require more system resources, upgrading to a better plan requires only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Negative Points

A negative aspect of the shared website hosting platform is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install additional software. Some web portals, especially web shops, need software applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting platform, you can install only software platforms that do not request complete root-level access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For online portals that need full root-level access, or if your site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily visits, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated server. A private virtual web hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it works in a precisely identical way.

VPS Web Servers

Both platforms usually provide complete server root access and can be rebooted through a software program by the client, independently from the web hosting provider. Much like the shared hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated web server hosting plans contain diverse features depending on what the web hosting company has to offer. A VPS web hosting account offers guaranteed hard disk storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for brief spans of time in case there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is easier to administer as it ships with virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by trained clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, given companies provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they perform hosting server management tasks instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional option.
