Top Shared Hosting

There are various sorts of shared hosting packages suitable for different web sites when it comes to the resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To select the most suitable shared hosting service for your site, you have to estimate what server-side software it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be met.

Shared Website Hosting - Pluses

Shared web hosting - Negative Aspects

A negative side of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Given online portals, chiefly online shops, demand applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can install only software programs that do not require root-level access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For online portals that demand root-level access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS web hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated solution and it functions in an absolutely identical way.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both services commonly offer complete root-level access and can be rebooted via a software program by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Similar to the shared website hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server accounts have different specs depending on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A VPS web server hosting plan includes guaranteed server storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can occasionally be expanded for short periods of time provided that there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A virtual private web hosting server is simpler to cope with as it arrives with a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be used by qualified users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, certain web hosting vendors offer managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they run web server management assignments on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra option.
