Best Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting packages suitable for different web sites in relation to the resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To choose the most appropriate shared hosting service for your web portal, you must calculate what server-side software it needs, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared website hosting - Good Points

The best option for small size sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of hosting, each client pays only for their account, which reduces the overall cost per user seriously. There are various web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting supplier to another, delivering different amounts of disk storage space and traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can pay for an account that will offer the specifications your site in fact needs. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a package you will not make use of, or wind up with a small plan that cannot shelter the online portal. We, at Web Culture, offer a large variety of shared hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business sites that even come with pre-installed script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you commence with a less powerful account and you need more resources, moving to a more feature-rich plan requires only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Sides

A negative side of the shared website hosting platform is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate additional software applications. Some web pages, particularly online stores, require software applications to be installed on the server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install only software applications that do not require server root access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For sites that require full root access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of visitors per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it acts in strictly the same manner.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both environments typically offer full root privileges and can be rebooted through a software platform by the user, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Similar to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting packages include diverse characteristics based on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A VPS server hosting plan includes guaranteed web space, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be extended for short spans of time if there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A VPS hosting server is easier to administer as it comes with a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more complex, so such an account would rather be resorted to by trained users.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, some web hosting providers offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they execute hosting server administration procedures on behalf of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra option.

Prior To Reaching a Decision...

Choosing the top hosting package is essential as it can have an influence on the stable performance of a website.
