Quality Shared Hosting

There are various varieties of shared hosting solutions appropriate for different web sites in regard to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To select the best shared hosting service for your web portal, you have to calculate what server-side software it requires, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be met.

Shared website hosting - Perquisites

The most adequate alternative for small scale web sites with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which decreases the total price per client radically. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one hosting vendor to another, offering different quotas of hard disk storage space and bandwidth, different mail account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can get an account that will include the specifications your web page actually requires. You will not have to pay a lot for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small sized plan that cannot accommodate the site. The Whole Internet offers a large variety of shared hosting packages suitable for private or small business web sites that even come with pre-installed script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal, or WordPress — to render it simpler. If you start with a low-cost account and require more features later, upgrading to a higher-end package involves just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Disadvantages

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting environment is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate new software platforms. Specific web portals, mainly online shops, request applications to be installed on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting account, you can install solely software applications that do not request full root-level access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

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

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both environments typically provide complete root access and can be rebooted through a software program by the client, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Much like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server hosting plans comprise different specs based on what the web hosting provider offers. A VPS server hosting plan has guaranteed disk storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can occasionally be increased for brief intervals of time if there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A private virtual server is simpler to administer as it ships with a virtualization software platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such an account would be a better fit for knowledgeable clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, some hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they complete dedicated web hosting server administration tasks on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra upgrade.

Prior To Reaching a Decision...
