Top Hosting

There are various kinds of hosting plans suitable for different web pages in regard to the system resources or the hosting environment they require. To choose the most optimal hosting service for your web site, you need to reckon what server-side software applications it demands, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may need to be satisfied.

Shared website hosting - Benefits

The most adequate choice for small scale web portals with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of web hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total price per user significantly. There are various web hosting plans varying from one hosting corporation to another, providing different amounts of server storage and monthly traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can purchase a plan that will include the specs your website in fact demands. You will not have to pay lots of money for an account you will not make use of, or wind up with a small sized package that cannot shelter the site. We, at Lime Server, offer a vast selection of hosting plans suitable for private or small business websites that even come with pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you begin with a low-end account and you require more functionalities, upgrading to a more powerful plan involves only a click of the mouse.

Shared Website Hosting - Weaknesses

A weakness of the shared hosting platform is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate additional software platforms. Certain online portals, above all online shops, request applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting package, you can activate solely software programs that do not demand complete root access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web portals that request complete root 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 hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it behaves in exactly the same way.

VPS Servers

Both platforms usually include root privileges and can be rebooted via a software tool by the client, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Just like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated server hosting accounts come with diverse features depending on what the hosting provider has to offer. A virtual server web hosting account includes guaranteed hard disk space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be increased for brief stretches of time on condition that there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A VPS web server is easier to administer as it arrives with a virtualization platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by experienced users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, given web hosting companies provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they complete dedicated web hosting server administration procedures instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional option.

Prior To Choosing...

Picking the top hosting plan is essential as it can have an effect on the proper work of a web page. Before picking a plan, weigh the pros and cons, explore carefully all the prerequisites for the web portal to operate properly, especially if it is script-powered.
