Top Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting accounts suitable for different sites when it comes to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they require. To choose the most optimal shared hosting service for your website, you need to evaluate what server-side software it needs, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared website hosting - Benefits

The most optimal choice for small size web pages with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which minimizes the overall cost per user seriously. There are various web hosting solutions differing from one hosting supplier to another, offering different amounts of disk space and monthly bandwidth, different email box account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can purchase an account that will offer the resources your web page actually requires. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for an account you will not avail of, or end up with a small scale account that cannot accommodate the website. We, at Host4Up Web Services, offer an enormous array of shared hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business websites that even offer pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you commence with a low-price package and you demand more system resources, moving to a better account requires only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Shortcomings

A negative aspect of the shared website hosting solution is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install additional software programs. Specific sites, mainly online shops, require applications to be present on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can activate only software platforms that do not require full server root access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web portals that need server root access, or if your web page has many thousands or even millions of daily hits, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A Virtual Private Server is a software emulation of a dedicated web server and it operates in a precisely identical manner.

Virtual Private Servers

Both environments commonly offer root-level access and can be rebooted through a software program by the client, autonomously from the web hosting company. Akin to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server web hosting plans come with diverse characteristics based on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS hosting server package has guaranteed disk space, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be boosted for short intervals of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A virtual private web hosting server is simpler to handle as it arrives with a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, explore statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be used by experienced users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, certain web hosts provide managed dedicated web hosting services where they perform hosting server administration tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional service.
