Top Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting packages appropriate for different web sites in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To select the most optimal shared hosting service for your web portal, you have to judge what server-side software it demands, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Advantages

The most proper option for small sites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this type of website hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall cost per person seriously. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one hosting provider to another, furnishing different amounts of web space and monthly traffic, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can order a package that will offer the specs your web portal really requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a package you will not use, or wind up with a small scale package that cannot host the web page. We, at STARTEWEB, offer a big collection of shared hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business web pages that even provide pre-installed script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you commence with a low-price plan and you need more resources, moving to a better account involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Negative Points

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate additional software applications. Certain sites, chiefly online shops, request software applications to be available on the web server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can install solely software applications that do not need complete root access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For sites that request full root-level access, or if your site has many thousands or even millions of daily hits, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual private web hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated machine and it runs in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both services traditionally include full root privileges and can be rebooted via a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Similar to the shared web hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server hosting plans sport different functionalities based on what the hosting provider has to offer. A private virtual server hosting account offers guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be enhanced for short stretches of time if there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware it is using, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A virtual private web hosting server is easier to tackle as it arrives with a virtualization panel, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, explore statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by experienced clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, certain hosting firms offer managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated server administration operations on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional option.
