Top Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting services appropriate for different websites with regard to the resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To pick the most optimal shared hosting service for your online portal, you need to calculate what server-side software programs it demands, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Perks

The most optimal alternative for small websites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of webspace hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall price per user drastically. There are various web hosting packages varying from one hosting firm to another, offering different amounts of hard disk storage and bandwidth, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can obtain an account that will have the specifications your site indeed requires. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a package you will not utilize, or wind up with a small sized plan that cannot shelter the web portal. We, at PhilWebDev Domain and Business Hosting Solution, offer a vast choice of shared hosting plans suitable for personal or small business web portals that even provide pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you kick off with a low priced package and you require more system resources, moving to a better account involves only a click.

Shared Hosting - Drawbacks

A weakness of the shared website hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install additional software applications. Given sites, mainly online shops, require software applications to be activated on the server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install only software applications that do not require full root access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that require root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of visitors per day, 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 operates in an absolutely identical manner.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both solutions normally offer complete root-level access and can be restarted through a software interface by the client, independently from the hosting provider. Much like the shared hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server packages have different features depending on what the hosting company has to offer. A virtual web hosting server plan has guaranteed hard disk storage, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be boosted for short spans of time provided that there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be revamped by changing 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 software applications, explore stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be used by skilled users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, some companies provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they complete dedicated web hosting server administration assignments on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra service.
