Quality Hosting

There are different types of hosting services suitable for different sites with regard to the system resources or the hosting environment they require. To choose the most suitable hosting service for your web site, you must access 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 special requirements that may have to be answered.

The most optimal choice for small sites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of web site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total price per customer substantially. There are different web hosting accounts varying from one hosting firm to another, delivering different amounts of storage space and monthly bandwidth, different email address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for an account that will include the features your web page actually demands. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small sized plan that cannot host the website. We, at Gose Internet Services (GIS), offer a wide array of hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business sites that even offer pre-installed script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you kick off with a less powerful account and you demand more resources, upgrading to a better plan takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Drawbacks

A negative aspect of the shared website hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install additional software platforms. Given websites, particularly online stores, need applications to be present on the server for them to function, and with a shared hosting account, you can install solely software programs that do not request root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For portals that request complete server root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily visits, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A private virtual web hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated server and it performs in an absolutely identical way.

Private Virtual Servers

Both solutions commonly provide complete root access and can be restarted through a software platform by the customer, autonomously from the hosting company. Analogous to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated server hosting packages include diverse specifications based on what the hosting vendor offers. A virtual web server hosting account contains guaranteed disk storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be increased for short spans of time provided that there are free resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A virtual private hosting server is easier to cope with as it includes a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, examine stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a package would rather be utilized by skilled clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, certain hosting providers offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they complete dedicated web server management tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra upgrade.

Prior To Reaching a Decision...

Choosing the top hosting package is crucial as it can have an influence on the stable operation of a web portal. Before selecting an account, compare the pros and cons, survey thoroughly all the requirements for the site to operate properly, especially if it is script-driven.
