Top Shared Hosting

There are different kinds of shared hosting solutions suitable for different web sites in relation to the resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To select the most appropriate shared hosting service for your online portal, you must reckon what server-side software it requires, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be met.

Shared website hosting - Positive Sides

The most appropriate choice for small sized online portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the total cost per individual markedly. There are diverse web hosting plans differing from one web hosting company to another, providing different amounts of data space and monthly traffic, different mail address account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can get a package that will offer the features your online portal in fact needs. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot shelter the web page. We, at Wise Host Network, offer a wide selection of shared hosting plans suitable for private or small business pages that even come with pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you start with a less powerful account and you demand more system resources, moving to a more advanced package requires only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Weak Points

A weakness of the shared web hosting solution is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install additional software programs. Certain websites, particularly online stores, demand software applications to be activated 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 full server root access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For websites that need full server root access, or if your website has many thousands or even millions of daily viewers, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it acts in strictly the same manner.

VPS Web Servers

Both platforms traditionally provide root-level access and can be restarted via a software interface by the user, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Just like the shared hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server packages come with diverse features depending on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A VPS server hosting account has guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be expanded for short periods of time provided that there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A virtual web hosting server is easier to administer as it arrives with a virtualization console, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be utilized by qualified users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nonetheless, given hosts offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they complete dedicated hosting server administration assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional upgrade.

Prior To Opting...
