Best Web Hosting

There are different varieties of web hosting plans suitable for different web sites in relation to the system resources or the web hosting platform they need. To pick the most relevant web hosting service for your website, you must evaluate what server-side software programs it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be met.

Shared website hosting - Perquisites

The best alternative for small sized web portals with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which reduces the total price per client substantially. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one web host to another, delivering different quotas of disk storage space and monthly bandwidth, different mail quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can purchase a package that will offer the features your site indeed needs. You will not need to pay plenty of cash for a package you will not utilize, or end up with a small plan that cannot host the site. We, at C4u Hosting, offer a large assortment of web hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business websites that even offer pre-activated script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you kick off with a low-cost account and you require more system resources, upgrading to a high-end plan involves just a mouse click.

Shared Hosting - Negative Points

A negative side of the shared website hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install new software. Certain online portals, chiefly online storefronts, require software applications to be available on the web server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting package, you can install only software platforms that do not request complete server root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For online portals that require server root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visitors, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it performs in a strictly identical way.

Virtual Servers

Both environments typically include full root-level access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Just like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting server plans include different specs based on what the web hosting company has to offer. A private virtual server package contains guaranteed web space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enhanced for short intervals of time provided that there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A VPS server is easier to manipulate as it involves a virtualization panel, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be utilized by practiced clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, certain hosting companies offer managed dedicated hosting services where they run web server administration operations on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional service.

Prior To Reaching a Decision...

Settling on the top hosting plan is important as it can have an effect on the proper operation of a web page. Before picking an account, compare the pros and cons, examine completely all the requirements for the online portal to work properly, particularly if it is script-driven.
