Top Shared Hosting

There are different types of shared hosting plans suitable for different sites in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To select the most proper shared hosting service for your web site, you need to evaluate what server-side software applications it needs, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Good Points

The most suitable option for small size sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall cost per individual significantly. There are various web hosting accounts varying from one hosting provider to another, providing different quotas of data space and bandwidth, different mail address account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can obtain a plan that will offer the specs your web portal actually demands. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small size package that cannot accommodate the web site. We, at AshKloud, offer an immense collection of shared hosting packages appropriate for private or small business sites that even include pre-activated script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you begin with a low grade plan and you need more features, moving to a more advanced account takes only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Drawbacks

A downside of the shared website hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software platforms. Certain websites, particularly online shops, request applications to be installed on the server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can install solely software applications that do not need complete root access.

VPSs and Dedicated Servers

For sites that need complete server root access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A virtual private web hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated machine and it behaves in an absolutely identical way.

Private Virtual Servers

Both environments traditionally come with root-level access and can be restarted via a software tool by the user, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Like the shared hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting server packages contain different characteristics based on what the hosting provider offers. A VPS server web hosting account includes guaranteed server storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for short spans of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A virtual server is simpler to administer as it involves a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, examine stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be used by qualified users.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, certain web hosts provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they complete web server management procedures instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional feature.

Prior To Selecting...

Settling on the top hosting plan is important as it can have an effect on the stable work of a web site. Before choosing an account, compare the pros and cons, explore thoroughly all the prerequisites for the web portal to run properly, particularly if it is script-powered.
