Best Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting plans suitable for different web portals in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To select the most relevant shared hosting service for your website, you need to judge what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Benefits

The most optimal choice for small size web portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall price per customer seriously. There are various web hosting solutions differing from one hosting supplier to another, furnishing different quotas of storage space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can order a plan that will include the resources your web site really demands. You will not need to pay plenty of money for an account you will not utilize, or end up with a small scale package that cannot accommodate the site. We, at SupernovaHost, offer a huge collection of shared hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business web portals that even provide pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you commence with a low-end account and you require more resources, moving to a high-end account demands just a mouse click.

Shared Hosting - Drawbacks

A weak side of the shared web hosting solution is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate new software programs. Specific web sites, above all web shops, need software applications to be available on the server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install solely software programs that do not require complete root-level access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web sites that request complete root-level access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated solution and it acts in absolutely the same way.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both environments traditionally give complete server root access and can be rebooted via a software program by the client, autonomously from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared website hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web hosting packages include different characteristics depending on what the hosting supplier offers. A virtual server hosting plan offers guaranteed web space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be expanded for brief periods of time on condition that there are free resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A virtual web server is simpler to manipulate as it involves virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such a solution would rather be utilized by experienced users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, certain providers provide managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they perform hosting server administration procedures instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional feature.

Prior To Selecting...

Picking the top hosting plan is crucial as it can influence the proper performance of a website. Prior to opting for a package, weigh the pros and cons, survey thoroughly all the requirements for the web portal to work properly, especially if it is script-powered.
