Top Shared Hosting

There are various varieties of shared hosting packages suitable for different websites when it comes to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To select the most adequate shared hosting service for your website, you have to calculate what server-side software applications it needs, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Advantages

The most adequate option for small sized online portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of webspace hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total price per user critically. There are different web hosting accounts varying from one hosting company to another, providing different amounts of data space and web traffic, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can obtain a plan that will offer the features your web site in fact requires. You will not have to pay a lot for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small package that cannot accommodate the web page. We, at WebHostBear, offer an immense collection of shared hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business sites that even offer pre-activated script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you begin with a basic plan and you need more functionalities, moving to a more powerful plan demands just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Negative Aspects

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting platform is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Some websites, chiefly online shops, demand applications to be installed on the web server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can activate only software programs that do not request complete root-level access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For sites that request full root access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A VPS hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated solution and it performs in absolutely the same manner.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both solutions traditionally come with complete root-level access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the user, independently from the web hosting company. Just like the shared website hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server hosting accounts sport diverse characteristics depending on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A Virtual Private Server hosting plan includes guaranteed storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be extended for short spans of time if there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A virtual web server is easier to run as it involves a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, examine statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be utilized by qualified customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Yet, some web hosting firms provide managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they perform dedicated web server administration operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional option.
