The best web hosting companies in the world.

I've always maintained that there's no such thing as the best web hosting company in the world. As this can only be determined by the client which also depends on what kind of website they are willing to host.

However, from my experience in web hosting, I've come to realize that there are web hosting companies that offer one of the best services out there. While some have stood the test of time, others have distinguished themselves from the crowd. Note that these hosting companies are not necessarily the best as i mentioned earlier that there's no such thing as best host company. But these hosts have one of the best hosting reviews on the internet.

Types of Web Hosting !

The web hosting industry has grown it leaps and bounds and is still growing. Almost every hosting need is catered for with the emergence of different kinds of web hosting service.

Regrettably, many business owners choose a plan that is not appropriate for their needs because they do not fully understand the product. Below, i'll provide a brief description of the most common types of hosting solutions.

Shared Plans

This is the most popular form of hosting and it is targeted at small website owners and people on low budget. A shared plan places your site onto a server that hosts numerous websites. In some cases, there may be ten websites besides your own. In other cases, there may be hundreds or thousands. Many people select shared hosting because it is less costly than other solutions. However, it is also far less flexible. The provider may not allow you to install certain types of software or scripts if there is a concern that doing so will consume too many resources.

Dedicated Servers

As the name implies, a dedicated server hosting package gives you the freedom to run your server with a server dedicated to just your website. A dedicated plan offers complete flexibility. You can control the type of software, scripts, and operating system installed on the box. There are no other customers on your server, so there is no concern of consuming a disproportionate amount of processing resources.

Dedicated hosting type of solution is ideal for websites that attract high amounts of traffic or have heavy processing needs. It is also ideal for businesses that want to avoid the vulnerability of unplanned outages due to the misdeeds of other hosting clients. The disadvantage is that the cost is high.

VPS Plans

A virtual private server (VPS) offers the flexibility of a dedicated solution without the high cost. It can be said to be an alternative to a shared hosting account and a dedicated server. The box is partitioned in such a way that your website shares processing resources with the sites of other customers. However, the server is organized to provide an equal allocation of those resources for each client. As a result, the processing needs of other customers' sites will not affect your own.

Reseller Packages

Reseller is not a technical term like shared, reseller and dedicated hosting. Rather it's a kind of hosting that is geared toward customers who would like to resell a provider's hosting service under their own name. They pay a monthly fee to a provider who allocates them a space on a server. The reseller is then able to sell that space in smaller quantities to his or her own customers. This type of package will not be appropriate for most businesses outside the reseller industry.

It's imperative that you look out for flexibility, reliability, and support. A common mistake is to choose the lowest-priced solution. That is unwise, especially if your site receives a high level of traffic or serves as a support hub for your clients. You'll find that having responsive support from your provider pays long-term benefits, even if it comes at a premium.
