Top Shared Web Hosting

There are various varieties of shared web hosting packages suitable for different web pages in regard to the resources or the shared web hosting platform they need. To select the best shared web hosting service for your web page, you must evaluate what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be met.

Shared Hosting - Positive Points

The most proper alternative for small sized web portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web space hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall cost per user substantially. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one host to another, providing different amounts of server space and monthly bandwidth, different email box account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can order a plan that will offer the features your online portal in fact requires. You will not need to pay lots of cash for an account you will not make use of, or end up with a small scale package that cannot host the web site. We, at Hesse Hosting, offer a large collection of shared web hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business websites that even provide pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you begin with a less powerful package and you need more system resources, upgrading to a better plan demands just a mouse click.

Shared Hosting - Shortcomings

A weak side of the shared web hosting solution is that the servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install new software programs. Certain sites, mainly online shops, demand software applications to be present on the server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can install only software programs that do not request full root-level access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web pages that request full server root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A virtual server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it operates in an exactly identical manner.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both environments traditionally include full root privileges and can be restarted via a software platform by the customer, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Just like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting server packages involve diverse features depending on what the web hosting supplier offers. A private virtual web hosting server plan contains guaranteed web storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for short periods of time in case there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A Virtual Private Server is simpler to handle as it involves a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be used by tech-savvy customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, certain web hosting companies provide managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they carry out web hosting server management assignments instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional feature.

Before You Decide...

Settling on the top hosting package is vital as it can have an effect on the proper work of a website. Before opting for a plan, weigh the pros and cons, investigate thoroughly all the requirements for the web site to work properly, especially if it is script-based.
