Top Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting plans appropriate for different web portals in relation to the resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To choose the most relevant shared hosting service for your online portal, you need to reckon what server-side software applications it demands, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be covered.

Shared Web Hosting - Advantages

The most suitable option for small size websites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the total price per user substantially. There are different web hosting packages differing from one hosting provider to another, supplying different amounts of disk space and traffic, different email address account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can purchase a package that will include the specifications your site indeed requires. You will not have to pay lots of money for a package you will not use, or wind up with a small sized account that cannot host the website. We, at Hospedary, offer a huge selection of shared hosting packages suitable for personal or small business sites that even include pre-activated script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you kick off with a low grade package and you require more functionalities, moving to a high-end plan demands just a click.

Shared web hosting - Disadvantages

A negative side of the shared website hosting platform is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Some sites, above all web shops, demand software applications to be available on the web server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can install only software applications that do not need full root-level access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web portals that require full root-level access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of viewers per day, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it functions in an absolutely identical way.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both platforms commonly give server root access and can be rebooted via a software program by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Just like the shared website hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting plans comprise diverse specifications depending on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A private virtual server web hosting package contains guaranteed web storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be increased for short spans of time on condition that there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A Virtual Private Server is simpler to manage as it offers virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, check statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such an account would rather be resorted to by experienced customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, certain web hosting corporations provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they execute hosting server management procedures on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional upgrade.
