Top Shared Web Hosting

There are various varieties of shared web hosting services suitable for different sites when it comes to the resources or the shared web hosting platform they demand. To select the most optimal shared web hosting service for your site, you have to evaluate what server-side software it demands, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared Hosting - Positive Sides

The most adequate alternative for small sites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of web site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which diminishes the total cost per individual critically. There are various web hosting solutions varying from one hosting vendor to another, supplying different amounts of disk storage and bandwidth, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can obtain an account that will include the resources your web portal actually requires. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for an account you will not avail of, or end up with a small size plan that cannot accommodate the web site. We, at Bald Guy Hosting, offer an extensive assortment of shared web hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business web sites that even include pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you start with a low priced account and you need more features, moving to a high-end package takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Negative Points

A drawback of the shared website hosting platform is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate additional software platforms. Specific sites, especially online stores, require applications to be available on the web server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can install solely software programs that do not request complete root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web sites that request root-level access, or if your website has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated solution and it runs in an absolutely identical way.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both environments normally give root-level access and can be rebooted via a software program by the client, independently from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting server plans have different functionalities depending on what the web hosting company has to offer. A VPS account contains guaranteed disk space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be extended for short spans of time provided that there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A private virtual web server is easier to administer as it includes a virtualization software platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be used by knowledgeable clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, given web hosting firms provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they implement server management tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra service.
