Best Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting services suitable for different sites when it comes to the resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To choose the best shared hosting service for your web portal, you need to evaluate what server-side software it demands, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Positive Sides

The most appropriate choice for small scale web portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall cost per person radically. There are various web hosting plans varying from one web hosting firm to another, furnishing different amounts of data storage space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can order an account that will have the specifications your web page in fact requires. You will not have to pay a lot for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small scale plan that cannot host the web portal. We, at Sky Dragon Hosting, offer an immense collection of shared hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business portals that even provide pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a low-cost plan and you require more system resources, upgrading to a better account demands only a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Weak Points

A weakness of the shared web hosting environment is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Specific web sites, chiefly online stores, need applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can install solely software that does not need root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web portals that demand server root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual private web server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it runs in a precisely identical way.

VPSs

Both services generally offer complete server root access and can be restarted via a software tool by the client, independently from the hosting supplier. Like the shared web hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting plans involve different characteristics depending on what the web hosting provider offers. A VPS account offers guaranteed web storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for short periods of time in case there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A virtual private hosting server is easier to run as it includes virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, examine stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by tech-savvy clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, given hosting corporations offer managed dedicated hosting solutions where they run web hosting server administration tasks instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an additional feature.
