Top Shared Web Hosting

There are various sorts of shared web hosting plans suitable for different websites in terms of the resources or the shared web hosting platform they demand. To pick the most adequate shared web hosting service for your web page, you have to judge what server-side software programs it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Virtues

The most appropriate option for small size web portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of webspace hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which reduces the total cost per person markedly. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one company to another, supplying different quotas of hard disk storage and bandwidth, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can order a plan that will have the specs your website really requires. You will not need to pay a lot of cash for an account you will not make use of, or end up with a small sized package that cannot accommodate the web site. We, at Mydomains, offer a wide variety of shared web hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business sites that even come with pre-installed script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you commence with a low grade package and you need more system resources, upgrading to a high-end plan demands just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Minuses

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install additional software applications. Given web portals, particularly online stores, require applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting account, you can install solely software programs that do not demand full server root access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web pages that require complete server root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of visitors per day, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A private virtual web server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it performs in an absolutely identical way.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both platforms usually give root privileges and can be rebooted through a software tool by the user, independently from the hosting company. Just like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server packages involve diverse characteristics depending on what the hosting supplier offers. A private virtual web server hosting plan includes guaranteed hard disk storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be increased for brief spells of time if there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A virtual server is easier to cope with as it comprises a virtualization console, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be used by qualified clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nonetheless, certain hosting providers provide managed dedicated web hosting services where they run web hosting server management operations instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional service.
