Quality Hosting

There are various varieties of hosting services suitable for different web sites when it comes to the resources or the hosting platform they demand. To select the most appropriate hosting service for your web page, you have to calculate what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Strong Sides

The most proper choice for small scale online portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which diminishes the total cost per individual markedly. There are different web hosting solutions differing from one web hosting vendor to another, providing different amounts of data space and traffic, different email address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can obtain an account that will provide the features your online portal actually demands. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a package you will not avail of, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot shelter the web site. We, at Lime Server, offer an enormous assortment of hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business portals that even provide pre-activated script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you start with a less powerful plan and you need more system resources, moving to a better account demands only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Points

A drawback of the shared web hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install new software platforms. Given web pages, especially online stores, request software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can install only software programs that do not require full root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For sites that require complete root-level access, or if your web site has many thousands or even millions of viewers per day, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS server is a software simulation of a dedicated server and it acts in strictly the same manner.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both environments typically come with full root privileges and can be rebooted through a software platform by the customer, independently from the hosting provider. Like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated server hosting packages include different functionalities based on what the hosting provider offers. A private virtual web server package offers guaranteed data storage, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be increased for short intervals of time if there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is using, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A Virtual Private Server is simpler to manipulate as it offers a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, explore statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be used by trained users.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, given hosts provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they carry out hosting server administration tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra service.

Before You Decide...

Choosing the top hosting package is vital as it can have an effect on the stable work of a website.
