Quality Shared Hosting

There are various varieties of shared hosting services suitable for different websites in regard to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To select the most suitable shared hosting service for your web site, you need to estimate what server-side software programs it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be met.

Shared website hosting - Strong Points

The most appropriate option for small size websites with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which lowers the overall price per individual seriously. There are diverse web hosting plans varying from one host to another, providing different quotas of server storage space and traffic, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for an account that will include the resources your web site in fact needs. You will not need to pay a lot of cash for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small scale package that cannot host the website. We, at Better Choice IT, offer an extensive array of shared hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business web sites that even offer pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you kick off with a cheaper account and you need more features, upgrading to a more advanced package requires just a mouse click.

Shared Hosting - Weak Points

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install additional software platforms. Given websites, particularly online stores, request applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install only software applications that do not request root-level access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that request full server root access, or if your portal has many thousands or even millions of visitors per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated machine and it operates in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both platforms normally include full server root privileges and can be restarted via a software platform by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Just like the shared website hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting server plans involve different functionalities based on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A private virtual server web hosting package contains guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be increased for brief intervals of time on condition that there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A VPS hosting server is easier to handle as it ships with a virtualization platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, check stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be utilized by tech-savvy customers.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, certain providers provide managed dedicated hosting services where they complete dedicated hosting server administration operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.

Prior To Deciding...

Picking the top hosting plan is vital as it can influence the stable work of a web page. Before opting for a package, weigh the pros and cons, investigate carefully all the prerequisites for the online portal to operate properly, particularly if it is script-driven.
