Top Shared Hosting

There are different varieties of shared hosting plans appropriate for different sites in relation to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To choose the most proper shared hosting service for your online portal, you have to judge what server-side software applications it requires, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may have to be met.

Shared web hosting - Privileges

The most appropriate alternative for small size web portals with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of web space hosting, each client pays only for their account, which minimizes the total cost per individual radically. There are different web hosting plans varying from one hosting vendor to another, offering different quotas of data space and web traffic, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can order a plan that will offer the specs your web site in fact requires. You will not need to pay lots of money for a plan you will not utilize, or end up with a small scale account that cannot shelter the website. We, at Tiger Hosts, offer a big variety of shared hosting solutions suitable for private or small business pages that even offer pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you start with a low grade package and you need more features, moving to a more advanced plan takes just a click.

Shared Hosting - Weaknesses

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Certain online portals, above all web storefronts, request applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting package, you can install solely software platforms that do not request complete root-level access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For portals that need complete server root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even millions of daily viewers, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual web hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated solution and it acts in an exactly identical way.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both platforms normally come with complete server root access and can be rebooted through a software program by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Just like the shared web hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web hosting server plans contain different specs depending on what the web hosting provider offers. A Virtual Private Server web hosting account offers guaranteed disk space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be extended for short intervals of time on condition that there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A VPS web hosting server is easier to run as it involves a virtualization console, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a package would rather be resorted to by tech-savvy clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, given hosting vendors offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they carry out server management tasks instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional service.
