Top Shared Hosting

There are various varieties of shared hosting services appropriate for different web sites when it comes to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To pick the most adequate shared hosting service for your website, you need to judge what server-side software programs it needs, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be met.

Shared web hosting - Strong Points

The most appropriate alternative for small sites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this form of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which decreases the total price per individual critically. There are various web hosting plans differing from one hosting company to another, offering different amounts of web storage and monthly bandwidth, different email box account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can order a plan that will have the specs your web portal in fact needs. You will not have to pay a lot for a package you will not use, or wind up with a small sized account that cannot shelter the website. We, at Consultingforge SL, offer a huge variety of shared hosting plans suitable for private or small business pages that even come with pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you kick off with a low-price package and you need more features, moving to a high-end package takes just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Weak Sides

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting platform is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install new software. Some online portals, mainly online stores, request software applications to be available on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting package, you can activate only software programs that do not need complete root access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web portals that demand root access, or if your site has many thousands or even millions of daily viewers, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual web server is a software emulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it operates in an exactly identical way.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers

Both solutions generally offer full server root privileges and can be restarted through a software interface by the client, autonomously from the web hosting company. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server hosting plans come with diverse characteristics depending on what the hosting company has to offer. A private virtual web hosting server package includes guaranteed disk storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief stretches of time if there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A VPS server is easier to administer as it offers a virtualization console, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a package would rather be utilized by competent clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, some providers offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they run server management procedures instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra option.
