Top Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting packages suitable for different web sites with regard to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To choose the best shared hosting service for your web portal, you must estimate what server-side software programs it demands, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Positive Points

The most proper option for small sized web pages with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web space hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the overall price per individual considerably. There are various web hosting plans varying from one web hosting corporation to another, furnishing different quotas of server storage and traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can buy a plan that will offer the specs your web site actually demands. You will not have to pay a lot for a plan you will not make use of, or end up with a small package that cannot host the web page. We, at WardHost.com, offer a huge collection of shared hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business pages that even offer pre-installed script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you kick off with a less powerful account and you need more functionalities, upgrading to a more powerful package requires just a click.

Shared website hosting - Downsides

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate additional software applications. Some online portals, chiefly online shops, require software applications to be present on the web hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install solely software programs that do not demand full server root access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web sites that request root-level access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual web server is a software emulation of a dedicated solution and it performs in a strictly identical manner.

VPSs

Both solutions usually provide root access and can be restarted via a software program by the client, independently from the hosting company. Like the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server hosting plans have different features based on what the hosting vendor offers. A virtual private web hosting server plan contains guaranteed disk storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for short periods of time if there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A virtual web hosting server is easier to manipulate as it involves a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, examine stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be utilized by trained clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Still, some web hosting vendors provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they execute hosting server administration procedures instead of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra service.
