Top Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting services appropriate for different web portals in regard to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To choose the most appropriate shared hosting service for your site, you must judge what server-side software it requires, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Virtues

The most adequate option for small sized sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of site hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall cost per customer seriously. There are various web hosting accounts differing from one hosting vendor to another, offering different quotas of data storage and monthly bandwidth, different mail address account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can get a package that will offer the resources your web page indeed demands. You will not need to pay a lot for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small package that cannot shelter the online portal. We, at hostingdad, offer a vast selection of shared hosting packages suitable for personal or small business web sites that even come with pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you kick off with a low grade package and you demand more functionalities, moving to a high-end plan involves only a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Weak Sides

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate new software. Certain web sites, especially online stores, request applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can activate solely software that does not demand full server root access.

VPS Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web portals that request server root access, or if your portal has many thousands or even millions of visits per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A private virtual web hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it behaves in exactly the same way.

VPS Web Servers

Both environments normally include root access and can be rebooted through a software platform by the user, autonomously from the web hosting company. Analogous to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server web hosting plans have diverse specs depending on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A virtual private hosting server account offers guaranteed disk storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be increased for short intervals of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A virtual private web server is simpler to tackle as it comprises a virtualization software platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, explore statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be used by knowledgeable clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, given hosting providers provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they carry out web hosting server administration procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional upgrade.

Before You Opt...

Opting for the top hosting package is crucial as it can have an effect on the proper functioning of a web portal. Prior to picking a plan, compare the pros and cons, review carefully all the prerequisites for the web portal to function properly, especially if it is script-based.
