The right hosting provider for WordPress Part2
Virtual server
In the Virtual Server or VPS, you share the server resources with other customers. However, here are significantly fewer customers on a server, as it was still shared hosting. Given that with this hosting version, each client has its own virtual server, a lot more setting options are possible here. The virtual server is virtually a “treasury”, you standing on available server on the “main server”.
Advantage: The services are distributed among fewer customers, so that the speed and performance is significantly better.
Disadvantage: The monthly price for hosting this variant is, of course somewhat higher. So here may be incurred up to 20,00 € per month costs.
Server
This hosting variant you rent with the hosting provider is that you have your own server all to yourself. Depending on the selection of the server, a distinction is usually only on the basis of performance, memory, etc.. The better the server, the more expensive it is.
Advantage: You have server and you have to share it with everyone. You can use the resources thus exploiting all to yourself alone.
MySQL database
In order to use your blog with WordPress, you need normally a MySQL database. You should see to it that your hosting provider offers at least one database in the hosting package. This should certainly not be a problem, since all the big and well-known hosting provider even in the smallest packages have at least one database offer. Depending on what you did before or how experienced you are, you want maybe even the one or other installation, run within your hosting package. In this case, other databases would be a useful addition.
The right hosting provider for WordPress
In order to present your blog on the internet online, you need a suitable hosting provider that manages all data on a server and your blog, and provides for others. One speaks here of the so-called web space.
There are a lot of hosting providers that provide webspace. For example, 1und1, Host Europe or all-inkl.com.
In today’s part of my series of articles I would like briefly to point out some things that you should consider when choosing a suitable hosting provider.
Shared Hosting, Virtual Server and Server
The terms Shared Hosting, VPS or server, you allow to present all the same, name your blog on the Internet, online in the end. The concepts are simply to different variants of hosting.
Basically, these terms are easily distinguished as follows:
Shared hosting
In shared hosting offers you the hosting provider to a server where not only you manage your data for your blog, but other clients or site operators, have deposited their data.
Disadvantage: All customers using the server, also its resources, such as the performance of the server or the speed of data transmission share.
For small blogs or blogs that are just getting started, this factor should not be a problem. If the blog, however, continues to grow and visitor numbers continue to rise, you can consider changing your hosting package.
The difference between traditional hosting and Cloud Hosting
Host Europe, Hetzner, Strato and many others have grown up with traditional hosting products. The web space with 1GB disk space, 10 email addresses, databases and 3 50GB traffic for 15 EUR per month, or dedicated servers with corresponding specifications there are off the shelf.
Managed hardware
With dedicated servers omitted for the customer as well as in the cloud, the need to even buy server hardware and maintain. The main difference lies in the speed of deployment. A platform service such as GAE scaled transparent and IaaS providers such as Amazon EC2 or CloudSigma can switch within a few minutes virtual instances and memory resources. In traditional hosting hardware expansion would take several hours, if that is at all possible.
Pay by Usage
Another difference is that a regular dedicated server is billed without regard to the load. It does not matter whether the hardware is busy always be 100% or 0%, cost of doing always the same server. Only the traffic is billed separately from a certain quota. In a public cloud resources genutzen are only billed. Another advantage of the cloud is the large number of tools from the command line as well as helpful tools to control the instances. Thus, for example, Access via VNC or Web console are usually included. There are also regular snapshots, so backups of the instance, is already included.
