Top Shared Hosting

There are various sorts of shared hosting solutions suitable for different sites when it comes to the resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To select the most adequate shared hosting service for your web portal, you have to judge what server-side software programs it needs, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may have to be answered.

Shared website hosting - Benefits

The most adequate alternative for small online portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of site hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the total cost per customer drastically. There are various web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting corporation to another, supplying different amounts of data storage space and monthly bandwidth, different email address account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can order a plan that will provide the features your site indeed requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small sized plan that cannot host the site. We, at SupernovaHost, offer an extensive choice of shared hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business sites that even include pre-installed script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you commence with a basic account and you need more system resources, moving to a better account takes just a mouse click.

Shared Web Hosting - Disadvantages

A shortcoming of the shared website hosting environment is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install additional software. Some web portals, particularly web shops, demand applications to be installed on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting package, you can install only software applications that do not require root access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Servers

For online portals that need root access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS server is a software emulation of a dedicated web server and it functions in a precisely identical way.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both environments typically give full server root privileges and can be restarted through a software tool by the customer, independently from the hosting provider. Much like the shared hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server packages sport different specifications depending on what the web hosting company has to offer. A VPS web hosting server account includes guaranteed data storage space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be boosted for short stretches of time if there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A virtual private web hosting server is simpler to handle as it includes a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, explore stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be utilized by trained customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, given web hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they perform web server management assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional option.
