Top Hosting

There are various kinds of hosting packages suitable for different sites in regard to the system resources or the hosting platform they require. To select the best hosting service for your web portal, you need to evaluate what server-side software it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be met.

Shared Hosting - Positive Signs

The best choice for small scale web portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this type of hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the total cost per individual radically. There are diverse web hosting plans differing from one web host to another, providing different quotas of hard disk storage and traffic, different e-mail quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can buy an account that will include the specs your website actually needs. You will not have to pay lots of cash for an account you will not utilize, or end up with a small size package that cannot host the web page. We, at Awesolutions, offer an extensive variety of hosting solutions suitable for private or small business pages that even come with pre-installed script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you begin with a low-cost package and you demand more functionalities, upgrading to a high-end package takes only a mouse click.

Shared Web Hosting - Negative Signs

A negative side of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install additional software applications. Some sites, above all web stores, require applications to be available on the hosting server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate only software applications that do not require complete root access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Servers

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

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both environments generally include full root access and can be rebooted via a software program by the client, independently from the hosting supplier. Like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web server hosting packages involve diverse specifications based on what the hosting vendor offers. A private virtual server account has guaranteed disk space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief stretches of time provided that there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by altering or appending components. A VPS server is simpler to manipulate as it offers a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be resorted to by competent customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, certain web hosting vendors offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they perform web hosting server administration assignments instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra service.
