Best Shared Hosting

There are different types of shared hosting services suitable for different web portals with regard to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To choose the best shared hosting service for your online portal, you need to estimate what server-side software it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be covered.

Shared website hosting - Advantages

The most suitable alternative for small sized online portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the total price per person radically. There are diverse web hosting solutions varying from one host to another, offering different quotas of disk space and web traffic, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can buy a plan that will have the specifications your web site really requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a package you will not utilize, or wind up with a small sized package that cannot shelter the web portal. We, at Avarhost, offer a great collection of shared hosting plans appropriate for private or small business sites that even offer pre-activated script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you begin with a low-price plan and you need more resources, upgrading to a more feature-rich plan takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Negative Signs

A negative aspect of the shared hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate additional software programs. Given web sites, particularly online stores, demand applications to be available on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting platform, you can install solely software programs that do not request full server root access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that demand server root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visitors, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and it performs in precisely the same way.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both services typically include full server root access and can be rebooted via a software program by the client, autonomously from the hosting company. Just like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server hosting accounts include diverse features based on what the hosting provider has to offer. A private virtual web hosting server package offers guaranteed storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enlarged for short stretches of time on condition that there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A virtual private web hosting server is simpler to tackle as it involves a virtualization panel, which can be used 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 tech-savvy users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, certain web hosts offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they complete dedicated web hosting server administration procedures instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra feature.
