Best Hosting

There are various varieties of hosting plans suitable for different web sites in regard to the system resources or the hosting platform they demand. To choose the most suitable hosting service for your web page, you need to calculate what server-side software it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared Hosting - Pluses

The most proper choice for small sized websites with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall price per user markedly. There are various web hosting plans varying from one provider to another, offering different quotas of server space and traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can buy a package that will have the specs your site indeed requires. You will not need to pay lots of money for a package you will not avail of, or end up with a small sized plan that cannot host the web portal. We, at Bethnan Hosting, offer an enormous assortment of hosting packages appropriate for private or small business web portals that even provide pre-installed script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you kick off with a low-cost plan and you need more resources, upgrading to a more advanced package involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Negative Sides

A negative aspect of the shared web hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install new software platforms. Specific sites, above all online shops, demand applications to be activated on the server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting account, you can activate solely software that does not demand root access.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web portals that demand root-level access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated package. A private virtual web hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated web server and it runs in a strictly identical manner.

VPS Servers

Both environments usually provide complete root access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Similar to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated web server hosting plans have different functionalities based on what the web hosting provider offers. A virtual web server hosting package contains guaranteed hard disk space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be enhanced for short spans of time provided that there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by altering or appending components. A virtual hosting server is simpler to administer as it comes with a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, explore statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be utilized by experienced clients.

Dedicated Servers

However, given companies offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they implement server management assignments instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional option.
