Best Web Hosting

There are various types of web hosting plans appropriate for different web pages when it comes to the system resources or the web hosting environment they need. To select the most relevant web hosting service for your web site, you have to calculate what server-side software programs it needs, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be answered.

Shared website hosting - Advantages

The most proper alternative for small sized web sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this form of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which reduces the total price per customer radically. There are various web hosting plans differing from one web hosting vendor to another, offering different amounts of data space and monthly traffic, different e-mail quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can obtain a plan that will offer the features your site actually demands. You will not need to pay lots of cash for an account you will not avail of, or end up with a small scale account that cannot shelter the website. We, at Morris Hosting, offer an enormous variety of web hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business web portals that even offer pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you start with a low priced plan and you demand more functionalities, upgrading to a more powerful plan involves just a click.

Shared Web Hosting - Shortcomings

A negative side of the shared web hosting solution is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install new software. Given sites, chiefly web shops, need software applications to be available on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate solely software that does not request root access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web portals that demand full root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even millions of daily hits, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS web server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated server and it operates in an exactly identical manner.

VPS Web Servers

Both platforms normally provide full server root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Akin to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting server accounts have different features depending on what the hosting company offers. A VPS web server account has guaranteed server storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be expanded for short stretches of time if there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A private virtual web hosting server is easier to run as it includes a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be utilized by skilled clients.

Dedicated Servers

However, certain web hosting providers provide managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they perform web hosting server management procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra upgrade.
