Quality Web Hosting

There are different kinds of web hosting accounts appropriate for different web sites in relation to the system resources or the web hosting environment they require. To choose the most appropriate web hosting service for your web site, you must access what server-side software applications it demands, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may need to be answered.

Shared website hosting - Strong Points

The most relevant choice for small sized web sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which diminishes the total price per individual markedly. There are various web hosting packages differing from one web hosting corporation to another, furnishing different quotas of web storage and bandwidth, different mail account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can obtain an account that will offer the specifications your online portal indeed demands. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a package you will not avail of, or wind up with a small sized account that cannot host the web portal. We, at Lair Mail, offer a vast array of web hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business portals that even include pre-installed script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you begin with a low-end account and you demand more system resources, moving to a better plan involves only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Aspects

A negative side of the shared website hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Given websites, mainly web shops, demand applications to be available on the server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting package, you can install solely software platforms that do not require root access.

VPS Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that require complete root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visitors per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web server and it runs in exactly the same way.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both services generally provide root access and can be restarted through a software program by the client, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting plans sport different features depending on what the hosting company has to offer. A VPS plan contains guaranteed disk storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be expanded for brief spells of time on condition that there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is utilizing, and it can be revved up by changing or appending components. A private virtual hosting server is simpler to run as it offers a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be used by experienced clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, given web hosting providers provide managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they perform web hosting server management operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra upgrade.
