Best Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting plans suitable for different web sites with regard to the resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To select the most relevant shared hosting service for your online portal, you need to evaluate what server-side software it demands, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Dividends

The best option for small web pages with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall price per individual significantly. There are different web hosting plans varying from one host to another, delivering different amounts of data storage space and traffic, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can order a package that will offer the specifications your website in fact requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a package you will not use, or end up with a small scale package that cannot host the web portal.

If you begin with a low-cost plan and you need more functionalities, moving to a more advanced plan requires just a click.

Shared web hosting - Downsides

A weak side of the shared web hosting solution is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Certain sites, above all online stores, need applications to be available on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate only software platforms that do not request complete root-level access.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web sites that request full root access, or if your site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it works in an exactly identical manner.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both environments usually give complete server root access and can be rebooted via a software program by the client, independently from the hosting company. Just like the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting server accounts comprise different functionalities based on what the web hosting company has to offer. A private virtual server hosting account contains guaranteed hard disk space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be increased for brief spells of time on condition that there are free resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A virtual hosting server is easier to cope with as it comes with virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by qualified clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, some hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they execute dedicated hosting server administration procedures on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra feature.
