Top Shared Hosting

There are various sorts of shared hosting plans suitable for different web sites with regard to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To choose the most proper shared hosting service for your web portal, you must access what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily hits you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be answered.

Shared Web Hosting - Assets

The most optimal option for small size web portals with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this type of web hosting, each client pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall price per user considerably. There are various web hosting solutions varying from one hosting supplier to another, furnishing different quotas of server space and monthly traffic, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for a package that will include the features your web page actually requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small sized package that cannot accommodate the web page. We, at , offer a huge assortment of shared hosting packages suitable for private or small business web portals that even offer pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you commence with a less powerful plan and you require more features, upgrading to a more powerful plan requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Shortcomings

A negative aspect of the shared website hosting platform is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate additional software. Specific websites, mainly web storefronts, require applications to be present on the web hosting server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can install only software that does not need full server root access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web portals that require complete server root access, or if your web page has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily visitors, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual web server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it runs in an absolutely identical manner.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both solutions normally give complete root access and can be restarted through a software tool by the user, independently from the hosting company. Just like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server accounts comprise different functionalities depending on what the hosting company has to offer. A VPS hosting account contains guaranteed web storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for short periods of time on condition that there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A VPS is easier to manipulate as it arrives with a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by skilled users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Yet, given hosting vendors provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they execute hosting server management procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional option.
