Quality Hosting

There are various varieties of hosting plans appropriate for different web pages in relation to the system resources or the hosting platform they need. To choose the most suitable hosting service for your web page, you need to estimate what server-side software it needs, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Positive Aspects

The most adequate choice for small size web portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which reduces the total cost per individual substantially. There are different web hosting packages varying from one provider to another, providing different amounts of data space and traffic, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for a plan that will have the specs your web site really requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for an account you will not avail of, or end up with a small scale account that cannot accommodate the site. We, at IRCMRU Hosting, offer a big assortment of hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business pages that even include pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a low-end account and you need more resources, moving to a more feature-rich plan involves only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Downsides

A negative side of the shared website hosting platform is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install new software. Given web portals, above all web shops, request software applications to be available on the hosting server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting package, you can activate only software programs that do not need complete root-level access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For portals that require full root-level access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A private virtual server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web server and it functions in exactly the same way.

Virtual Servers

Both solutions normally offer root privileges and can be rebooted through a software interface by the client, independently from the web hosting supplier. Just like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting server packages have diverse specifications based on what the web hosting supplier offers. A virtual server web hosting account offers guaranteed web storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for brief intervals of time in case there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A virtual web hosting server is simpler to manage as it involves virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, monitor stats, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be utilized by proficient users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Yet, certain hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they run hosting server administration assignments instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra service.

Prior To Reaching a Decision...

Picking the top hosting plan is essential as it can have an effect on the stable performance of a website. Before picking an account, weigh the pros and cons, appraise thoroughly all the requirements for the online portal to function properly, particularly if it is script-based.
