Quality Shared Web Hosting

There are different kinds of shared web hosting plans suitable for different sites in regard to the resources or the shared web hosting platform they demand. To select the best shared web hosting service for your website, you have to reckon what server-side software applications it requires, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may have to be satisfied.

Shared Web Hosting - Privileges

The most optimal alternative for small web portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of webspace hosting, each user pays only for their account, which diminishes the total price per client drastically. There are various web hosting accounts varying from one hosting vendor to another, supplying different quotas of hard disk storage space and monthly bandwidth, different mail address account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can obtain a package that will offer the specs your online portal in fact requires. You will not need to pay lots of cash for an account you will not make use of, or end up with a small size package that cannot host the web portal. We, at Palm Servers, offer an immense array of shared web hosting plans suitable for personal or small business web portals that even provide pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you start with a low priced plan and you require more functionalities, moving to a better package takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Disadvantages

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install additional software programs. Specific online portals, mainly online shops, require applications to be installed on the server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting platform, you can install solely software programs that do not demand root access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For websites that request full server root access, or if your web site has many thousands or even millions of daily viewers, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A virtual web hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it acts in an absolutely identical way.

Private Virtual Servers

Both platforms usually include complete root access and can be restarted via a software platform by the user, independently from the hosting company. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting accounts have different functionalities depending on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual web server package has guaranteed disk storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for short intervals 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 configuration it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A virtual private web hosting server is simpler to run as it includes a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, check stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be used by knowledgeable clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Still, certain web hosting providers provide managed dedicated web hosting services where they complete hosting server management assignments on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra upgrade.

Prior To Electing...

Selecting the top hosting package is vital as it can affect the proper performance of a web site. Before opting for a plan, compare the pros and cons, survey thoroughly all the prerequisites for the online portal to work properly, particularly if it is script-powered.
