Best Servers in Kenya
Introduction
Deciding on which hosting option to use can be quite a challenging task sometimes. We have 4 types of servers from which we can host our websites and applications: shared hosting, virtual private servers, managed servers, and dedicated servers.
Of the four, shared hosting provides the least resources in terms of performance and control but also comes at a far cheaper price. Dedicated servers offer full control but are more expensive than other hosting plans. So here, we will have a look at three of the four hosting packages that we offer so that you can determine which hosting is best for you. I’ll be especially more elaborate with our VPS and Dedicated servers located within Kenya.
Shared hosting
As earlier mentioned, it’s the cheapest type of hosting one can find. Here, many users are hosted in a server such that they share resources like RAM and CPU. Depending on the type of package you have chosen, you also get limited space to host your site and emails. Once the space is full, you will need to upgrade to another hosting plan. At Truehost, we offer both Linux and Windows hosting.
Our Linux shared hosting offers MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. Languages supported include PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails and Perl. The control panel used with Linux hosting is Cpanel. Windows servers use MySQL and MSSQL databases. Languages supported include PHP and ASP.NET.
VPS hosting
Virtual Private Servers(VPS) are the solution to turn to if you have trouble fitting in shared hosting plans. If you want more control and resources than shared hosting provides, your next stop is the VPS. For VPS, a physical computer is divided into virtual compartments with each behaving like a separate computer. Resources like CPU and RAM are shared among the several virtual units but each unit has its own software and operating system.
This arrangement offers the user more space and processing power such that the user can run heavier applications than what is possible with shared hosting. At Truehost, we offer the best ratio of prices to service in Kenya with our Cloudpap KL* servers based in Kenya. Other intriguing offers of VPS servers are our Cloudpap servers located in several data centers across the world. For clients looking to reduce latency, our Cloudpap servers in Kenya are the best solution.
Dedicated hosting
Dedicated servers are the fastest, most resourceful, and most powerful type of hosting server one can get. All resources in the server are dedicated to one customer. All the RAM, hard drive space, and CPU are utilized solely by a single customer. The best attraction about this server is that it is completely under the control of the customer.
This server uses customized software and can be rebooted at any time by the owner. Installations are defined by the owner and unlike in shared hosting, the customer gets to run anything the hardware can handle. Other benefits of dedicated servers include speed, improved security, and better uptime. Truehost has servers located locally, with the best pricing available in Kenya.
