Best Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting plans appropriate for different sites when it comes to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they require. To pick the best shared hosting service for your online portal, you need to calculate what server-side software it requires, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be met.

Shared web hosting - Perquisites

The best alternative for small size online portals with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall price per customer significantly. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one hosting provider to another, supplying different amounts of web space and bandwidth, different mail quotas and so on. The good point is that you can get an account that will include the specs your web portal indeed needs. You will not have to pay lots of cash for a package you will not make use of, or wind up with a small sized plan that cannot shelter the web site. We, at The Whole Internet, offer a great choice of shared hosting plans appropriate for private or small business websites that even include pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you start with a low-cost account and you need more system resources, moving to a more powerful account demands just a click of the mouse.

Shared Website Hosting - Drawbacks

A downside of the shared web hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate new software applications. Some online portals, particularly online stores, request applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install only software that does not require full server root access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web sites that need root access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it works in precisely the same manner.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms typically offer server root access and can be rebooted via a software program by the customer, independently from the hosting provider. Much like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting server plans sport different specs depending on what the hosting provider has to offer. A private virtual web hosting server plan offers guaranteed web storage, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be expanded for brief intervals of time provided that there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A virtual web server is easier to manage as it comprises virtualization software, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be utilized by trained clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, given hosting firms offer managed dedicated server web hosting services where they execute dedicated server administration procedures on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra feature.
