Best Shared Hosting

There are different varieties of shared hosting plans appropriate for different sites with regard to the resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To pick the most appropriate shared hosting service for your online portal, you need to judge what server-side software applications it requires, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared Website Hosting - Perks

The most adequate choice for small size websites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which lowers the total cost per user seriously. There are diverse web hosting plans varying from one hosting provider to another, offering different amounts of hard disk storage space and web traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can buy a plan that will provide the specs your website really demands. You will not need to pay a lot for a plan you will not utilize, or wind up with a small size account that cannot shelter the web page. We, at Get Design Online, offer an extensive choice of shared hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business web sites that even include pre-installed script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you commence with a low-end plan and you need more system resources, upgrading to a more advanced plan requires only a click.

Shared Hosting - Drawbacks

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

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For online portals that request root access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated server and it works in absolutely the same manner.

Virtual Private Servers

Both solutions typically provide full root access and can be restarted through a software platform by the customer, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Just like the shared hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting accounts comprise different characteristics based on what the hosting provider offers. A private virtual web server package includes guaranteed storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for short intervals of time if there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A VPS is easier to run as it offers virtualization software, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, monitor stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by competent users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, certain web hosting companies provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated server administration procedures instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra upgrade.

Prior To Deciding...

Picking the top hosting package is crucial as it can influence the stable functioning of a web portal. Prior to choosing a plan, compare the pros and cons, appraise carefully all the preconditions for the web page to operate properly, particularly if it is script-powered.
