Quality Hosting

There are various types of hosting solutions suitable for different web portals in relation to the system resources or the hosting environment they need. To choose the most suitable hosting service for your web site, you need to estimate what server-side software programs it demands, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be answered.

Shared website hosting - Upsides

The most adequate alternative for small size online portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web space hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the total cost per individual considerably. There are different web hosting solutions differing from one hosting vendor to another, delivering different amounts of server storage and monthly traffic, different email quotas and so on. The plus is that you can buy a package that will provide the features your online portal actually requires. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a package you will not use, or end up with a small scale account that cannot shelter the web site. We, at Tiras Web Solutions, offer a wide collection of hosting accounts suitable for private or small business portals that even come with pre-activated script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you kick off with a low priced package and you require more functionalities, upgrading to a high-end account takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Downsides

A downside of the shared web hosting solution is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot install additional software programs. Given websites, above all online storefronts, require software applications to be available on the server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can activate only software platforms that do not require root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For online portals that require complete root-level access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of viewers per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A private virtual web hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web server and it behaves in an absolutely identical way.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers

Both environments normally provide full root-level access and can be restarted via a software program by the user, independently from the hosting company. Similar to the shared website hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting packages sport different specs based on what the web hosting company offers. A virtual server web hosting account contains guaranteed web storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be extended for short spells of time provided that there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A private virtual hosting server is simpler to manipulate as it involves a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, monitor stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be used by experienced users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, certain hosting vendors offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they complete dedicated web hosting server administration tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra upgrade.
