Top Shared Hosting

There are different varieties of shared hosting plans appropriate for different sites in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To select the most proper shared hosting service for your web site, you need to evaluate what server-side software it demands, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be satisfied.

Shared Website Hosting - Assets

The most relevant choice for small online portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall cost per individual considerably. There are different web hosting packages differing from one web hosting firm to another, providing different amounts of server storage space and monthly traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can pay for a plan that will offer the specs your online portal in fact requires. You will not need to pay lots of money for a package you will not use, or wind up with a small scale plan that cannot shelter the online portal.

If you begin with a low-price account and you require more features, moving to a more advanced plan involves just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Inconveniences

A negative side of the shared web hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate new software platforms. Certain online portals, particularly online storefronts, request applications to be available on the web server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can install solely software that does not request complete root access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web portals that require complete root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of daily visits, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated web server and it acts in absolutely the same way.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both environments normally provide full root-level access and can be restarted via a software interface by the client, independently from the hosting provider. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting accounts come with different specifications based on what the web hosting company offers. A private virtual server web hosting package offers guaranteed disk space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be expanded for short stretches of time on condition that there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is utilizing, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A virtual web hosting server is easier to handle as it arrives with a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, examine stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be used by competent customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, certain web hosts provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they implement web server administration tasks instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra service.
