From my experience in the field of online business the first thing that you will have to consider is the bandwidths that are offered by the different hosting provider. The amount of time taken by your website page to load mostly depends on the bandwidth of your hosting provider. If you want your web pages to load quickly then I will suggest you to go for the service provider who can offer better bandwidth. This can be quite expensive but its worth paying for. Different hosting providers offer different rates for bandwidth so you need to choose accordingly so that you can get that provider who can satisfy you in terms of bandwidth services.

But it is not only the bandwidth what makes web page loading quickly. It also depends on the server architecture of the web hoster. Emerion operates the hosting systems on a load balanced server cluster. The load balancers take care of the load of each server in the cluster. A load balanced server cluster makes it also possible to operate the system without maintenance downtime, because servers can be separated from the cluster for maintenance without service interruption.

The other factor that you need to consider while selecting an effective web hosting service provider is that which hosting provider offers web templates and designs in their package. If you go for a hosting provider who offers web templates and designs in their package then will not have to hire a website designer for designing your website. Thus you will be saved from incurring an extra expense for your online business. This is quite economical for the online business owners who have limited budget. Emerion offers a special WordPress hosting where WordPress is already pre installed and you can start right away to use wonderful templates for this popular software.

The server up time is another essential factor that you to consider while selecting a reliable web hosting service provider for your business. For a reliable and effective online website hosting, I will suggest you to go for that service provider that offers a higher up time. This is because it will save your website from crashing due to its inability to handle huge traffic volume.
The above important factors that I have discussed in this blog are very essential. If you can follow them properly you will succeed in find the right and effective web hosting service provider for you online business for its successful operation.

VPS Virtual Private Server vServer

What is the difference between a vServer (VPS Server) and web hosting?

What is the best solution for your needs?

A vServer is a virtualized server, also named VPS – Virtual Private Server. But what is “virtualization”?

On a hardware node there is a virtualization software installed like Virtuozzo. This software creates isolated containers on a single physical server and a single Operating System instance. Those containers act like a single server, but they share the ressources like memory, disk space and power. The memory and disk space is assigned and restricted to each VPS Server. Each container can have its own Operation System.

A VPS server is like a dedicated server but it is available for a lower price, because it shares the hardware. It is also more flexible, because it can be easily migrated from one hardware node to another.

What about the classical web hosting?

On a web hosting environment all web sites are hosted on one Operating System. All sites on the server share memory and disk space. At emerion this is not a single server, the web hosting system is a load balanced server cluster to ensure reliability and performance. Usually a couple of hundreds or thousands web sites are hosted on a single server. But in case of maintenance or if one customer needs a lot of ressources, all other web sites are affected too.
But not a emerion. Due to the cluster system each web site is distributed to many servers. The servers are able to deliver the site simultaneously. That ensures, that the site is all time available, even if there is a maintenance or if one web site has an overload.

What’s the best decision and what is the advantage of each system?

vServers are very flexible. You can configure a vServer for your needs, you can use custom system libraries and software, which you cant use in the classical web hosting environment. Due to this high flexibility unix administration knowledge is necessary, because due to mistakes in the configuration the whole server could be out of service easily. Maintenance and setup is much more time consuming than with the classical web hosting.

Using the classical web hosting everyone can start immediately without any unix or administration knowledge. Web space is immediately available after the order, the mail server is ready to go and you just set up your email addresses. There is no need to care about the availability, the system is maintained by emerion and so there is no possibility that a configuration mismatch could cause an out of service.

Web hosting – easy to use.

Web hosting is easy to use

Classical web hosting is fast, very easy to use and high available, but it is more restricted for custom configurations than vServers. VPS servers are completely customizable for your needs, but they are more time consuming in maintenance and setup and they need server administration knowledge.

Classical Webhosting is available at emerion starting at EUR 1,98/per month – domain name for free included, vServers (VPS Servers) are available at emerion starting at EUR 9,90/per month
