Top Shared Hosting

There are various varieties of shared hosting accounts suitable for different websites in relation to the resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To choose the most relevant shared hosting service for your web portal, you have to access what server-side software it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Dividends

The most suitable option for small size sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of webspace hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the total cost per person drastically. There are various web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting vendor to another, supplying different amounts of storage space and bandwidth, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can order a plan that will provide the resources your web page indeed demands. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a package you will not make use of, or end up with a small sized account that cannot shelter the web portal. We, at Solid Cluster, offer a great array of shared hosting solutions appropriate for private or small business websites that even include pre-installed script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you begin with a low-cost package and you demand more system resources, moving to a more powerful package requires only a mouse click.

Shared Website Hosting - Weaknesses

A weakness of the shared web hosting solution is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software applications. Certain web pages, mainly web storefronts, need applications to be installed on the server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting account, you can activate only software that does not request full root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For sites that request root-level access, or if your site has many thousands or even millions of daily hits, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual web server is a software emulation of a dedicated solution and it runs in a precisely identical way.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both services typically provide full root access and can be restarted through a software platform by the client, independently from the hosting company. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server hosting accounts contain diverse specifications based on what the hosting vendor offers. A virtual private hosting server account has guaranteed web storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enhanced for brief stretches of time provided that there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A private virtual web hosting server is simpler to manipulate as it comprises a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, explore statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by knowledgeable customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, given hosting providers offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they perform server management operations instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional option.
