Best Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting services suitable for different web sites in regard to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they require. To choose the most optimal shared hosting service for your web portal, you have to reckon what server-side software programs it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Virtues

The best option for small sized web portals with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of hosting, each client pays only for their account, which decreases the overall price per individual drastically. There are diverse web hosting plans varying from one hosting supplier to another, offering different quotas of data storage space and web traffic, different mail quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can purchase an account that will include the resources your web site indeed requires. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small scale package that cannot host the web portal. We, at Josidel Hosting, offer an enormous variety of shared hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business web sites that even provide pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you begin with a low grade plan and you demand more features, upgrading to a more powerful package takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared Website Hosting - Drawbacks

A shortcoming of the shared hosting platform is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install new software. Specific websites, especially web storefronts, request software applications to be available on the server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate only software applications that do not request full root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For websites that demand complete server root access, or if your web page has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily visits, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A VPS is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web server and it performs in an exactly identical way.

Private Virtual Servers

Both solutions usually include full server root access and can be restarted via a software program by the customer, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Much like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting server accounts have different functionalities depending on what the web hosting supplier offers. A private virtual server plan offers guaranteed data space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be extended for short spells of time if there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A virtual private web server is simpler to tackle as it offers a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, examine statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by qualified clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, some hosting companies offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they implement server administration assignments instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra upgrade.
