Quality Hosting

There are different kinds of hosting accounts suitable for different web pages with regard to the resources or the hosting environment they demand. To choose the most relevant hosting service for your web page, you have to estimate what server-side software programs it requires, 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 web hosting - Assets

The most suitable option for small size web pages with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of webspace hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which diminishes the overall cost per user substantially. There are various web hosting solutions differing from one web hosting company to another, delivering different amounts of hard disk storage and bandwidth, different mail account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can pay for an account that will provide the specifications your website in fact needs. You will not have to pay lots of cash for a package you will not avail of, or wind up with a small plan that cannot accommodate the website. We, at Adirondack Online Services, LLC, offer a huge assortment of hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business websites that even offer pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you kick off with a cheaper plan and you demand more functionalities, moving to a better account involves just a mouse click.

Shared Website Hosting - Minuses

A negative aspect of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate new software programs. Given websites, especially online storefronts, need applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting package, you can activate solely software platforms that do not require full server root access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web portals that need root-level access, or if your site has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS is a virtual emulation of a dedicated machine and it behaves in an exactly identical way.

Private Virtual Servers

Both services traditionally come with root-level access and can be rebooted via a software program by the client, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Much like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web server hosting packages have different specifications based on what the web hosting company has to offer. A VPS plan includes guaranteed disk space, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be extended for short spells of time on condition that there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A virtual private web server is simpler to run as it involves a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, examine stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by qualified customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, given companies provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they execute dedicated web server administration assignments instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.
