Best Shared Hosting

There are different types of shared hosting services appropriate for different web pages in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To choose the most adequate shared hosting service for your website, you need to access what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Perquisites

The most suitable choice for small scale web sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this type of webspace hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall price per customer significantly. There are diverse web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting firm to another, supplying different quotas of web storage space and monthly traffic, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can obtain a package that will provide the features your web portal indeed demands. You will not need to pay plenty of money for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small package that cannot accommodate the web page. We, at Web Hosting Services, offer an enormous variety of shared hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business web portals that even come with pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you commence with a low grade plan and you need more system resources, upgrading to a high-end package takes just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Weaknesses

A weakness of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate new software applications. Some web sites, mainly web storefronts, require applications to be installed on the web server for them to function, and with a shared hosting environment, you can install only software platforms that do not request complete server root access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web portals that request complete root-level access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A virtual private hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated machine and it works in strictly the same way.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both solutions traditionally come with full root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the user, independently from the hosting supplier. Just like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server web hosting packages include different functionalities based on what the hosting provider has to offer. A VPS hosting server package includes guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be increased for brief stretches of time if there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A VPS hosting server is easier to tackle as it comes with virtualization software, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, examine statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be used by experienced customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, certain web hosting providers provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they execute dedicated web server administration tasks instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra feature.

Before You Decide...
