Quality Shared Web Hosting

There are different types of shared web hosting plans suitable for different sites in regard to the resources or the shared web hosting platform they require. To choose the best shared web hosting service for your online portal, you have to access what server-side software programs it demands, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Positive Sides

The best option for small scale web portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of webspace hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall cost per individual considerably. There are various web hosting solutions differing from one host to another, offering different amounts of server storage space and web traffic, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can get an account that will include the resources your website indeed requires. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a package you will not use, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot host the site. We, at , offer a vast collection of shared web hosting solutions appropriate for private or small business portals that even offer pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you start with a less powerful plan and you need more features, moving to a more powerful package demands only a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Shortcomings

A weakness of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot install new software platforms. Some web pages, particularly online shops, request software applications to be installed on the server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can activate solely software platforms that do not request complete root access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For portals that demand full root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even millions of daily visitors, what you need is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A virtual web server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it behaves in exactly the same way.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both environments normally offer complete root-level access and can be restarted through a software tool by the user, independently from the hosting company. Just like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web server accounts have different specs based on what the web hosting company has to offer. A virtual private web hosting server plan contains guaranteed hard disk space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for brief stretches of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A Virtual Private Server is easier to manage as it involves a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be used by qualified users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, some hosting providers offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they implement web hosting server management assignments instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an additional upgrade.
