Quality Hosting
There are various varieties of hosting solutions suitable for different websites with regard to the resources or the hosting platform they demand. To select the best hosting service for your online portal, you must calculate what server-side software applications it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may need to be fulfilled.

The most optimal option for small size websites with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web hosting, each client pays only for their account, which minimizes the total price per user substantially. There are diverse web hosting solutions differing from one hosting company to another, providing different amounts of data storage space and monthly bandwidth, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for a package that will have the specs your website really needs. You will not have to pay lots of cash for an account you will not use, or end up with a small sized account that cannot accommodate the website. We, at G-STARTUP, offer a big choice of hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business pages that even offer pre-installed script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you commence with a low grade package and you require more system resources, moving to a more feature-rich plan requires only a mouse click.
Shared Hosting - Negative Aspects
A downside of the shared hosting environment is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software platforms. Specific websites, above all online stores, need software applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate solely software platforms that do not request full server root access.
Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers
For sites that need server root access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily hits, what you require is a VPS or a dedicated package. A VPS hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web server and it performs in precisely the same manner.
Virtual Hosting Servers
Both environments typically include root privileges and can be rebooted through a software tool by the customer, independently from the hosting provider. Much like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated web hosting server packages involve diverse specs based on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual web server package has guaranteed web storage space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for brief intervals of time on condition that there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be upgraded by altering or appending components. A virtual server is easier to handle as it arrives with a virtualization console, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by skilled users.
Dedicated Web Hosting Servers
Still, given web hosting firms provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they run dedicated web server administration operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra feature.
