Top Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting packages appropriate for different websites when it comes to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To pick the most appropriate shared hosting service for your web page, you need to judge what server-side software it requires, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be met.

Shared Web Hosting - Strong Sides

The most adequate choice for small scale web pages with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the overall price per client significantly. There are various web hosting packages differing from one web hosting corporation to another, delivering different amounts of web space and web traffic, different email address account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can pay for a plan that will provide the features your site really needs. You will not need to pay a lot of cash for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small sized package that cannot shelter the online portal. We, at Better Choice IT, offer a large collection of shared hosting plans appropriate for private or small business pages that even provide pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you commence with a low-price plan and you require more system resources, upgrading to a high-end package requires just a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Negative Aspects

A weakness of the shared website hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software applications. Specific web sites, chiefly online stores, need applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting package, you can install solely software programs that do not need complete root-level access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web pages that request complete server root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual web hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it works in precisely the same way.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers

Both solutions generally come with root privileges and can be rebooted through a software program by the user, independently from the hosting provider. Like the shared website hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting accounts have diverse functionalities based on what the hosting provider has to offer. A VPS server account has guaranteed disk storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be increased for brief spells of time in case there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A VPS hosting server is easier to manipulate as it comprises a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, examine stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by tech-savvy clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, some web hosting companies offer managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they complete server management tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional feature.
