Top Web Hosting

There are different sorts of web hosting services suitable for different web sites when it comes to the resources or the web hosting platform they need. To choose the best web hosting service for your site, you have to calculate what server-side software it demands, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Assets

The most adequate option for small size online portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of website hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which reduces the overall price per client critically. There are different web hosting packages differing from one web host to another, delivering different amounts of server storage space and monthly traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can purchase an account that will include the specifications your online portal indeed needs. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for an account you will not utilize, or end up with a small scale plan that cannot shelter the web site. We, at Ameriline Hosting, offer a wide selection of web hosting accounts suitable for private or small business websites that even include pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you begin with a low priced account and you need more features, moving to a high-end package requires only a click.

Shared Website Hosting - Minuses

A weak side of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install new software. Certain web portals, mainly online stores, demand applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install only software applications that do not request full root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For sites that require full root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it runs in precisely the same manner.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers

Both solutions usually include complete root access and can be restarted via a software tool by the user, autonomously from the hosting provider. Similar to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server web hosting plans sport different features based on what the hosting company has to offer. A Virtual Private Server web hosting account has guaranteed hard disk storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be increased for short spells of time on condition that there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A virtual web server is easier to manipulate as it involves a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, examine statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be utilized by qualified customers.

Dedicated Servers

However, some web hosting companies provide managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they implement server administration operations instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra upgrade.
