Quality Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting plans suitable for different websites in terms of the resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To select the most relevant shared hosting service for your site, you must reckon what server-side software it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Strong Points

The best choice for small web pages with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which diminishes the overall cost per user seriously. There are diverse web hosting packages varying from one web hosting corporation to another, providing different amounts of disk storage space and bandwidth, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can buy a package that will include the specifications your online portal in fact requires. You will not have to pay a lot for an account you will not avail of, or wind up with a small plan that cannot accommodate the website. We, at Sky Dragon Hosting, offer a big variety of shared hosting plans appropriate for private or small business web sites that even provide pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you kick off with a basic package and you demand more resources, moving to a high-end package involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Minuses

A weakness of the shared hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate new software. Specific web sites, particularly web shops, demand applications to be available on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install only software that does not require complete server root access.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web pages that require full root-level access, or if your site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visitors, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it runs in exactly the same manner.

Private Virtual Servers

Both services usually include complete root-level access and can be restarted via a software program by the user, independently from the web hosting company. Akin to the shared website hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server accounts come with different features depending on what the hosting vendor offers. A virtual web server hosting account contains guaranteed web storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for short stretches of time if there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be revved up by changing or appending components. A VPS is simpler to handle as it comes with virtualization software, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software 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 proficient customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nonetheless, given hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated server administration tasks instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional feature.
