Quality Shared Web Hosting

There are different types of shared web hosting plans appropriate for different web sites in terms of the resources or the shared web hosting platform they require. To select the most optimal shared web hosting service for your web portal, you need to estimate what server-side software it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may need to be covered.

Shared Hosting - Perks

The most appropriate alternative for small scale sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of website hosting, each user pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall price per client radically. There are various web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting company to another, furnishing different amounts of server space and monthly bandwidth, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can order an account that will include the specs your online portal in fact demands. You will not need to pay a lot of cash for a package you will not make use of, or end up with a small account that cannot shelter the website. We, at SOS Web Development, offer an immense collection of shared web hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business web pages that even offer pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you commence with a basic account and you require more system resources, moving to a more advanced plan demands just a mouse click.

Shared Hosting - Negative Aspects

A weakness of the shared website hosting environment is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Specific web sites, above all online storefronts, request applications to be present on the hosting server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting package, you can install only software applications that do not need full root-level access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For websites that need complete server root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it acts in a strictly identical manner.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both solutions normally give complete root-level access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the client, independently from the hosting supplier. Much like the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web hosting server plans sport different specifications based on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A VPS hosting server package includes guaranteed storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for short periods of time in case there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A virtual server is easier to administer as it involves a virtualization platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be used by competent users.

Dedicated Servers

However, some hosting companies offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they implement dedicated server administration assignments instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra option.

Before You Elect...

Settling on the top hosting package is essential as it can affect the proper performance of a site.
