Top Shared Web Hosting

There are different types of shared web hosting plans appropriate for different sites with regard to the resources or the shared web hosting environment they require. To choose the most proper shared web hosting service for your online portal, you must access what server-side software programs it demands, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Dividends

The best choice for small size websites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this type of site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall cost per individual noticeably. There are various web hosting accounts varying from one hosting corporation to another, offering different quotas of server storage and monthly bandwidth, different email box account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can get a plan that will provide the specs your web page actually demands. You will not need to pay lots of cash for an account you will not use, or end up with a small package that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at MindMeld Networks, LLC, offer a great collection of shared web hosting plans suitable for personal or small business web sites that even include pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you begin with a low-cost account and you require more resources, moving to a more advanced account demands only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Weaknesses

A downside of the shared web hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install additional software programs. Certain web pages, chiefly online storefronts, require applications to be installed on the web server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting package, you can install only software programs that do not request complete root access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For websites that require complete root-level access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A virtual private web server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it acts in precisely the same way.

VPSs

Both solutions traditionally give server root access and can be restarted via a software program by the client, independently from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting server packages comprise different specs based on what the web hosting supplier offers. A VPS hosting server plan offers guaranteed disk space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for short spans of time provided that there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A virtual private web hosting server is simpler to tackle as it arrives with virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, monitor stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such an account would rather be utilized by qualified customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, certain hosting companies offer managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they complete web server management assignments on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional service.
