Top Hosting

There are different types of hosting packages suitable for different sites in regard to the system resources or the hosting environment they need. To choose the most adequate hosting service for your website, you need to estimate what server-side software programs it needs, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be met.

Shared web hosting - Advantages

The most adequate alternative for small web pages with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which decreases the total cost per client markedly. There are various web hosting solutions varying from one host to another, delivering different quotas of hard disk space and monthly bandwidth, different mail quotas and so on. The good point is that you can order a plan that will provide the specs your web page in fact needs. You will not need to pay plenty of cash for an account you will not make use of, or wind up with a small package that cannot host the site. We, at Geldbach Solutions GmbH, offer a large choice of hosting packages suitable for personal or small business sites that even include pre-activated script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you commence with a low grade package and you need more resources, upgrading to a more advanced plan requires only a mouse click.

Shared Website Hosting - Negative Aspects

A weakness of the shared web hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install additional software applications. Given websites, above all online stores, demand software applications to be present on the server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can activate solely software that does not demand complete root access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web sites that require complete server root access, or if your website has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual private hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated machine and it operates in an exactly identical way.

VPS Web Servers

Both services normally include full server root access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Akin to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web server plans contain different characteristics depending on what the hosting company has to offer. A virtual web hosting server package offers guaranteed server space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be enlarged for short spans of time provided that there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A private virtual web server is simpler to administer as it includes a virtualization platform, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, monitor stats, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be resorted to by proficient clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, given web hosting companies provide managed dedicated server hosting services where they execute dedicated web server management tasks instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an extra service.
