Best Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting packages suitable for different web portals in relation to the resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To select the best shared hosting service for your web site, you need to reckon what server-side software it needs, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Positive Sides

The most proper alternative for small sized websites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which diminishes the overall cost per user noticeably. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one hosting company to another, providing different quotas of data space and traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can pay for a plan that will have the resources your site indeed demands. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a package you will not avail of, or wind up with a small sized package that cannot shelter the site. We, at Host4Up Web Services, offer a great selection of shared hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business portals that even provide pre-installed script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you begin with a low-price plan and you demand more system resources, upgrading to a more powerful plan demands just a click.

Shared web hosting - Weak Sides

A downside of the shared web hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install additional software. Given websites, mainly web stores, need applications to be present on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate only software applications that do not request server root access.

VPS Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For online portals that request root-level access, or if your web page has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A virtual hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it runs in exactly the same way.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both services typically offer complete root access and can be restarted via a software tool by the user, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Similar to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting server accounts involve different specifications depending on what the web hosting company has to offer. A private virtual web server account contains guaranteed server storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be extended for brief periods of time if there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A VPS web server is easier to cope with as it includes a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be utilized by knowledgeable customers.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, given web hosting firms offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they complete dedicated web hosting server administration operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra service.
