Best Shared Web Hosting

There are different types of shared web hosting accounts suitable for different web portals in relation to the system resources or the shared web hosting environment they require. To choose the most relevant shared web hosting service for your web page, you need to calculate what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily hits you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be met.

Shared web hosting - Good Points

The most optimal option for small size online portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this form of hosting, each user pays only for their account, which reduces the total cost per user drastically. There are various web hosting packages differing from one provider to another, delivering different quotas of hard disk space and traffic, different email address account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can order an account that will have the resources your online portal actually requires. You will not need to pay a lot for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small scale account that cannot host the web portal. We, at Bald Guy Hosting, offer an extensive selection of shared web hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business portals that even provide pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you begin with a low-cost plan and you demand more system resources, upgrading to a better account takes only a mouse click.

Shared Hosting - Negative Signs

A negative side of the shared website hosting solution is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate new software platforms. Given web portals, particularly web stores, need applications to be activated on the server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install solely software applications that do not need complete server root access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For websites that request complete root-level access, or if your web site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visitors per day, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web server and it performs in a precisely identical manner.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both platforms generally give root-level access and can be rebooted through a software platform by the user, independently from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web server accounts comprise diverse functionalities based on what the hosting company offers. A private virtual server hosting plan contains guaranteed server storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be increased for brief spells of time if there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A private virtual web server is simpler to administer as it ships with a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by tech-savvy users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, some hosts offer managed dedicated web server hosting services where they perform dedicated web hosting server administration tasks on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra option.

Before You Select...

Selecting the top hosting package is important as it can have an effect on the stable operation of a web portal. Prior to settling on a plan, weigh the pros and cons, examine carefully all the preconditions for the web page to function properly, especially if it is script-driven.
