Best Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting solutions suitable for different sites in terms of the resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To select the most proper shared hosting service for your online portal, you have to reckon what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Dividends

The most relevant option for small sized web portals with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of website hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall price per individual noticeably. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one hosting company to another, delivering different quotas of data storage space and bandwidth, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can buy an account that will have the features your web page indeed needs. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small account that cannot accommodate the online portal. We, at Cloud Web Solutions, offer a great assortment of shared hosting plans appropriate for private or small business pages that even provide pre-activated script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you begin with a basic package and you demand more resources, moving to a high-end account demands only a mouse click.

Shared Website Hosting - Weak Sides

A negative side of the shared website hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate new software applications. Given web portals, particularly online storefronts, require applications to be available on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can install solely software platforms that do not require full server root access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web portals that require root access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of visitors per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual server is a software imitation of a dedicated machine and it performs in a strictly identical manner.

Virtual Web Servers

Both solutions usually give full root access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Analogous to the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web hosting packages sport diverse features based on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual web server account contains guaranteed hard disk storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for brief periods of time provided that there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A virtual private hosting server is simpler to manipulate as it arrives with a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, monitor stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be utilized by competent users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, some hosting firms offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they complete hosting server administration assignments instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional upgrade.
