Quality Hosting
There are different types of hosting services appropriate for different web pages in terms of the resources or the hosting platform they demand. To pick the most appropriate hosting service for your web site, you must evaluate what server-side software applications it needs, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may need to be met.

The most appropriate alternative for small size web portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of web hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total price per person considerably. There are different web hosting packages differing from one hosting supplier to another, supplying different amounts of storage space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can purchase a plan that will offer the resources your web portal really demands. You will not have to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small size account that cannot shelter the online portal. We, at WebRunner Domains, offer a huge assortment of hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business web pages that even come with pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you start with a low-end account and you demand more functionalities, moving to a more powerful package demands just a click.
Shared website hosting - Drawbacks
A disadvantage of the shared website hosting platform is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot install new software. Some online portals, chiefly online stores, require applications to be present on the server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install only software platforms that do not demand root-level access.
VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers
For websites that demand server root access, or if your portal has many thousands or even millions of daily viewers, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated server. A private virtual server is a software emulation of a dedicated server and it works in strictly the same manner.
Private Virtual Web Servers
Both platforms typically provide root privileges and can be restarted via a software program by the client, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Similar to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated web server plans include different features based on what the hosting provider offers. A virtual server account has guaranteed web storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief periods of time on condition that there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A virtual server is easier to tackle as it includes a virtualization panel, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, explore statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be resorted to by competent users.
Dedicated Web Hosting Servers
Yet, certain hosting vendors offer managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they perform dedicated server administration operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional feature.
