Top Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting plans suitable for different web pages in regard to the resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To pick the most optimal shared hosting service for your web site, you need to evaluate what server-side software applications it requires, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be met.

Shared web hosting - Good Points

The most relevant alternative for small scale websites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of hosting, each user pays only for their account, which minimizes the total price per person drastically. There are different web hosting plans differing from one provider to another, delivering different amounts of web storage space and monthly bandwidth, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can obtain an account that will provide the specs your web page really requires. You will not need to pay a lot of money for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot host the online portal. We, at Web Hosting Services, offer a huge collection of shared hosting plans appropriate for private or small business sites that even come with pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you commence with a less powerful account and you need more features, moving to a better package requires just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Disadvantages

A downside of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate new software. Some websites, chiefly web shops, require applications to be present on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install only software applications that do not demand complete root-level access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that demand root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of daily visitors, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A Virtual Private Server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it functions in strictly the same manner.

Virtual Servers

Both services usually offer server root access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Much like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server packages come with diverse characteristics depending on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual private hosting server account includes guaranteed server storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for short spans of time on condition that there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A virtual web server is easier to administer as it involves a virtualization panel, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, examine statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be utilized by tech-savvy users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, some hosts provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they complete server administration assignments instead of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra service.
