Quality Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting packages suitable for different sites when it comes to the resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To pick the most proper shared hosting service for your web portal, you have to reckon what server-side software applications it requires, how many visits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared website hosting - Pluses

The most appropriate alternative for small sized websites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this type of website hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which lowers the total cost per person seriously. There are various web hosting accounts varying from one hosting vendor to another, offering different quotas of server storage space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can purchase a package that will provide the specifications your site actually requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small sized package that cannot host the online portal. We, at hostprod.com, offer an enormous choice of shared hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business portals that even provide pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you kick off with a low-cost account and you demand more functionalities, moving to a better plan takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Negative Sides

A negative side of the shared hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot install additional software programs. Certain web pages, especially web shops, require applications to be present on the server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can install only software that does not request complete root-level access.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web pages that request full server root access, or if your web page has many thousands or even millions of visitors per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual private web server is a software imitation of a dedicated web server and it operates in an absolutely identical way.

Private Virtual Servers

Both platforms usually provide complete root-level access and can be restarted through a software platform by the customer, independently from the web hosting provider. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server hosting accounts contain diverse characteristics depending on what the hosting supplier offers. A virtual web hosting server account includes guaranteed storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be extended for short spells of time in case there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A VPS web server is simpler to administer as it comprises a virtualization console, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be utilized by tech-savvy customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, some web hosting firms provide managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they implement hosting server management assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an extra upgrade.
