Best Shared Hosting

There are various sorts of shared hosting solutions suitable for different web sites with regard to the resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To select the most appropriate shared hosting service for your online portal, you need to access what server-side software it needs, how many daily hits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be met.

Shared web hosting - Virtues

The most optimal option for small size web sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of web hosting, each client pays only for their account, which decreases the total price per client critically. There are different web hosting accounts differing from one host to another, delivering different amounts of server storage space and web traffic, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can obtain a package that will provide the specs your online portal really needs. You will not need to pay a lot for a package you will not utilize, or end up with a small package that cannot host the web portal. We, at My Internet Host, offer a large selection of shared hosting solutions appropriate for private or small business sites that even include pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you kick off with a low priced plan and you need more resources, moving to a more powerful account demands only a mouse click.

Shared Website Hosting - Negative Sides

A negative aspect of the shared website hosting environment is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate new software programs. Specific web sites, above all web shops, demand software applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting account, you can activate only software programs that do not request complete server root access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that demand full root access, or if your web site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual server is a software emulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it functions in a strictly identical manner.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both services typically include root-level access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the user, independently from the hosting provider. Like the shared website hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server accounts sport diverse specs depending on what the web hosting provider offers. A Virtual Private Server web hosting plan includes guaranteed data storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for short stretches of time on condition that there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be revved up by changing or appending components. A virtual web server is simpler to administer as it includes a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, check statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be resorted to by skilled clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, certain providers provide managed dedicated hosting services where they carry out hosting server management tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional service.
