Top Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting solutions appropriate for different web sites when it comes to the resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To pick the most appropriate shared hosting service for your web site, you must evaluate what server-side software programs it demands, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared Hosting - Strong Points

The most appropriate option for small web sites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall cost per user markedly. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one hosting company to another, supplying different amounts of server storage space and monthly traffic, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can get a package that will provide the specifications your website in fact needs. You will not need to pay lots of money for a plan you will not utilize, or end up with a small scale plan that cannot accommodate the online portal. We, at AllMyHosting, offer a wide choice of shared hosting packages suitable for private or small business sites that even come with pre-installed script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you begin with a basic package and you demand more resources, moving to a better plan takes just a click.

Shared Web Hosting - Weaknesses

A negative side of the shared web hosting environment is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install additional software programs. Certain web portals, above all web shops, need software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install only software applications that do not request complete root access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For online portals that need full root-level access, or if your web site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual private web hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it behaves in an exactly identical manner.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms traditionally offer root access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the user, independently from the hosting provider. Like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting server plans contain different specs based on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A private virtual web server hosting account has guaranteed storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for short stretches of time if there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A private virtual hosting server is simpler to manipulate as it comprises a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, monitor stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be used by competent customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, certain hosting companies offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they implement web server management tasks on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.
