Top Shared Hosting

There are different varieties of shared hosting services appropriate for different websites in terms of the resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To pick the most suitable shared hosting service for your site, you must estimate what server-side software applications it requires, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared Hosting - Pluses

The most relevant choice for small web sites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of web hosting, each user pays only for their account, which lowers the total cost per user markedly. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one hosting firm to another, furnishing different amounts of hard disk storage and monthly bandwidth, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can get an account that will include the specs your web site in fact needs. You will not need to pay lots of money for an account you will not make use of, or end up with a small size account that cannot host the site. We, at Sky Dragon Hosting, offer an extensive array of shared hosting packages suitable for personal or small business web pages that even include pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you start with a low-cost account and you need more features, moving to a high-end package takes only a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Inconveniences

A weakness of the shared hosting solution is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Some sites, above all online stores, require software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can activate only software that does not demand complete root-level access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Servers

For online portals that need complete root access, or if your site has many thousands or even millions of daily viewers, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web server and it performs in an absolutely identical manner.

Private Virtual Servers

Both services commonly offer full server root privileges and can be rebooted via a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the hosting company. Similar to the shared website hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server web hosting accounts sport different specifications based on what the hosting company has to offer. A VPS account offers guaranteed hard disk storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for brief spans of time in case there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A virtual private hosting server is simpler to administer as it includes a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, examine statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such a package would rather be used by practiced customers.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, given web hosts provide managed dedicated server hosting services where they perform dedicated web hosting server management operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional option.
