Quality Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting packages appropriate for different web sites when it comes to the resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To choose the most appropriate shared hosting service for your web page, you must access what server-side software applications it demands, how many visits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Strong Points

The best choice for small size websites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total cost per client markedly. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one hosting company to another, supplying different amounts of data storage space and web traffic, different email quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can order a package that will include the features your web site really demands. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot host the web page. We, at idomainHOST, offer a huge variety of shared hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business websites that even offer pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you commence with a less powerful package and you need more features, upgrading to a more advanced plan takes only a mouse click.

Shared Web Hosting - Disadvantages

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install additional software programs. Certain online portals, chiefly web shops, need applications to be present on the hosting server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can activate only software applications that do not demand complete server root access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web pages that request root-level access, or if your website has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated machine and it acts in precisely the same way.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both platforms traditionally provide root access and can be restarted through a software program by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server web hosting packages have different characteristics depending on what the hosting provider offers. A Virtual Private Server plan includes guaranteed disk space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be increased for short spans of time on condition that there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A VPS web hosting server is easier to run as it comes with a virtualization software platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be resorted to by experienced clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, given hosting companies offer managed dedicated web server hosting services where they run dedicated server management operations instead of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra upgrade.
