Quality Shared Web Hosting

There are various sorts of shared web hosting plans appropriate for different web sites in regard to the resources or the shared web hosting environment they need. To select the most relevant shared web hosting service for your online portal, you must reckon 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 needs that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Perks

The most appropriate alternative for small web pages with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of webspace hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall cost per user noticeably. There are different web hosting solutions differing from one hosting provider to another, offering different amounts of web storage space and traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can order an account that will offer the specifications your web page in fact requires. You will not have to pay a lot of money for an account you will not avail of, or end up with a small sized account that cannot host the online portal. We, at HostPlenty.com, offer a huge choice of shared web hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business websites that even come with pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you kick off with a basic plan and you need more system resources, upgrading to a more advanced package takes only a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Shortcomings

A weakness of the shared website hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install additional software. Certain sites, particularly online storefronts, need software applications to be activated on the web server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can install solely software platforms that do not demand complete root-level access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web pages that need server root access, or if your website has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A virtual web server is a software simulation of a dedicated machine and it runs in strictly the same manner.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers

Both environments normally provide full server root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web server accounts come with diverse characteristics based on what the hosting provider has to offer. A virtual web server account contains guaranteed hard disk storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be increased for brief stretches of time on condition that there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A private virtual server is simpler to tackle as it comprises virtualization software, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be used by knowledgeable customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, certain web hosting companies provide managed dedicated hosting services where they complete web hosting server management assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra upgrade.
