Top Hosting

There are various sorts of hosting packages suitable for different websites in relation to the system resources or the hosting platform they demand. To select the most suitable hosting service for your website, you must estimate what server-side software applications it requires, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Assets

The most adequate choice for small web portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of web site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which reduces the total cost per user noticeably. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one company to another, providing different amounts of data storage and bandwidth, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for a plan that will offer the resources your online portal actually needs. You will not need to pay a lot for a package you will not avail of, or wind up with a small package that cannot host the web portal. We, at RMH Hosting, offer a big selection of hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business websites that even include pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you begin with a low-price plan and you require more system resources, upgrading to a high-end account involves only a click.

Shared web hosting - Weaknesses

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate new software platforms. Certain websites, mainly online shops, need applications to be available on the web server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can activate only software programs that do not demand complete root-level access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that demand complete root-level access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of daily visits, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual web server is a software emulation of a dedicated machine and it works in an absolutely identical way.

VPS Servers

Both platforms typically offer full server root access and can be restarted via a software tool by the customer, independently from the hosting supplier. Much like the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated web server accounts involve different functionalities based on what the hosting company offers. A Virtual Private Server account has guaranteed data space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be increased for brief intervals of time provided that there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A private virtual server is easier to tackle as it involves virtualization software, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, check statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by qualified customers.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, certain web hosts provide managed dedicated hosting services where they implement hosting server management assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an additional service.
