Quality Web Hosting

There are different varieties of web hosting plans appropriate for different web pages when it comes to the system resources or the web hosting platform they need. To pick the best web hosting service for your website, you need to reckon what server-side software it needs, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Strong Sides

The most adequate option for small sized online portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of site hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which reduces the overall cost per user markedly. There are different web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting company to another, providing different amounts of disk storage space and monthly traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can order a package that will offer the specs your web page indeed requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for an account you will not avail of, or wind up with a small package that cannot shelter the website. We, at Mir Sharif Hosting, offer an enormous array of web hosting packages suitable for private or small business web pages that even offer pre-activated script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you begin with a low-price plan and you require more resources, moving to a more feature-rich plan involves just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Aspects

A drawback of the shared website hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate new software. Given sites, particularly online storefronts, need applications to be installed on the server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can activate only software platforms that do not request complete root-level access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For websites that need complete root access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS web server is a software emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it behaves in precisely the same way.

Virtual Private Servers

Both environments typically offer complete server root access and can be restarted through a software tool by the client, independently from the web hosting company. Much like the shared website hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server accounts involve diverse functionalities based on what the web hosting provider offers. A VPS web server hosting package has guaranteed hard disk storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be increased for brief periods of time in case there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A private virtual web server is easier to run as it ships with a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, explore statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be resorted to by competent customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, certain hosting providers provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they implement dedicated web hosting server management operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional upgrade.
