Quality Hosting

There are various types of hosting services suitable for different sites when it comes to the system resources or the hosting environment they require. To select the most relevant hosting service for your site, you need to evaluate what server-side software it needs, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be answered.

Shared website hosting - Strong Sides

The best option for small sized sites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web space hosting, each client pays only for their account, which diminishes the total cost per customer substantially. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one web hosting company to another, offering different quotas of storage space and traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can obtain an account that will offer the features your web site in fact demands. You will not need to pay plenty of cash for an account you will not use, or end up with a small size plan that cannot shelter the web portal. We, at PacificByte Net Services, offer an immense choice of hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business web pages that even offer pre-installed script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you begin with a low-price plan and you demand more features, moving to a more powerful package involves only a click.

Shared Website Hosting - Downsides

A weak side of the shared website hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install new software programs. Some online portals, mainly online storefronts, need software applications to be installed on the web server for them to function, and with a shared hosting environment, you can install solely software platforms that do not need complete root access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For sites that request root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even millions of daily hits, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual private hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it functions in an exactly identical way.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers

Both platforms typically include full server root access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the client, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Analogous to the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated server accounts involve different functionalities depending on what the hosting vendor offers. A virtual web server hosting account includes guaranteed hard disk space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be extended for short stretches of time on condition that there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A virtual private hosting server is simpler to manipulate as it offers a virtualization console, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, check stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such an account would rather be utilized by practiced customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, certain web hosting providers provide managed dedicated web hosting services where they implement server management operations on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional option.
