Top Shared Web Hosting

There are different types of shared web hosting packages appropriate for different sites when it comes to the resources or the shared web hosting platform they demand. To pick the most proper shared web hosting service for your online portal, you have to reckon what server-side software programs it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Good Points

The most suitable alternative for small sized web portals with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this form of hosting, each user pays only for their account, which lowers the overall price per customer substantially. There are various web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting supplier to another, providing different amounts of web space and traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can obtain a plan that will have the specs your web site in fact needs. You will not need to pay lots of money for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small scale package that cannot accommodate the site. We, at Top Hosting Provider, offer an immense assortment of shared web hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business pages that even offer pre-installed script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you commence with a less powerful plan and you require more system resources, upgrading to a high-end account takes just a mouse click.

Shared Web Hosting - Disadvantages

A weak side of the shared website hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate new software applications. Specific web pages, mainly online stores, require applications to be activated on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared hosting platform, you can activate solely software applications that do not demand complete root-level access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For websites that request full server root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even millions of visitors per day, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A private virtual server is a software emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it operates in absolutely the same way.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both solutions generally provide full root access and can be restarted through a software tool by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web hosting server plans contain different characteristics depending on what the hosting company offers. A virtual private web hosting server package has guaranteed storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for short periods of time if there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be upgraded by altering or appending components. A VPS web server is easier to administer as it arrives with a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, explore stats, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be used by qualified users.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, some hosts offer managed dedicated hosting services where they implement dedicated web hosting server management assignments on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra service.
