Best Hosting

There are different kinds of hosting plans suitable for different web sites in relation to the system resources or the hosting platform they demand. To pick the best hosting service for your site, you must judge what server-side software it needs, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be covered.

Shared Hosting - Benefits

The most adequate alternative for small size web pages with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this type of site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which diminishes the total cost per person drastically. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting provider to another, furnishing different amounts of data space and traffic, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can obtain a package that will have the features your site actually requires. You will not need to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not utilize, or wind up with a small package that cannot host the website. We, at Lime Server, offer an extensive selection of hosting plans appropriate for private or small business web pages that even provide pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you start with a low grade account and you demand more system resources, moving to a more powerful account takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Minuses

A drawback 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. Specific sites, especially online stores, demand applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate only software that does not request complete server root access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For portals that request complete root-level access, or if your site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual web server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web server and it behaves in strictly the same manner.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both environments traditionally offer server root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the client, autonomously from the hosting company. Analogous to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated hosting packages comprise different specifications depending on what the hosting supplier offers. A virtual private web server account includes guaranteed data space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief intervals of time on condition that there are free resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A virtual hosting server is easier to run as it comprises virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, explore statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be utilized by competent users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, given web hosting vendors provide managed dedicated server hosting services where they complete dedicated server administration procedures on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.

Prior To Electing...

Choosing the top hosting package is essential as it can have an influence on the proper performance of a site.
