Top Hosting

There are various types of hosting plans suitable for different websites in relation to the resources or the hosting environment they require. To pick the best hosting service for your web portal, you have to evaluate what server-side software programs it requires, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may need to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Pluses

The most relevant alternative for small size websites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall cost per customer radically. There are diverse web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting company to another, furnishing different quotas of data storage and traffic, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can order a plan that will have the features your site in fact needs. You will not need to pay lots of money for a package you will not use, or wind up with a small account that cannot host the website. We, at Axon Inc. Hosting Service, offer an extensive collection of hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business websites that even offer pre-installed script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you kick off with a less powerful package and you need more resources, upgrading to a more feature-rich account involves only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Negative Aspects

A negative aspect of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate new software applications. Specific web portals, mainly web storefronts, demand applications to be present on the server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install solely software that does not need root-level access.

VPS Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For sites that require full root access, or if your web page has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily visits, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual web hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it acts in exactly the same manner.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both platforms typically give root-level access and can be restarted through a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Similar to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting plans comprise different characteristics depending on what the hosting company has to offer. A virtual private web server hosting account has guaranteed storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be increased for short intervals of time provided that there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A Virtual Private Server is simpler to tackle as it offers a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, examine statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by proficient customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, some web hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated hosting services where they perform dedicated web hosting server management assignments on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra option.
