Best Shared Hosting

There are various sorts of shared hosting solutions appropriate for different websites when it comes to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they require. To pick the most appropriate shared hosting service for your web site, you have to calculate what server-side software it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Advantages

The most optimal choice for small size online portals with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of web site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which decreases the overall cost per individual markedly. There are different web hosting accounts differing from one host to another, furnishing different quotas of hard disk storage and bandwidth, different email account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can purchase a plan that will provide the features your web page in fact requires. You will not have to pay plenty of money for an account you will not avail of, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot shelter the website. We, at ECO CPANEL UK, offer a big choice of shared hosting accounts suitable for private or small business web sites that even offer pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you start with a low priced package and you need more functionalities, moving to a more feature-rich plan requires only a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Negative Signs

A weakness of the shared hosting platform is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Specific web portals, particularly web shops, require applications to be available on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting platform, you can activate only software applications that do not request root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that request full root-level access, or if your web page has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of viewers per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated machine and it functions in a strictly identical manner.

Private Virtual Servers

Both platforms commonly include full root access and can be rebooted through a software platform by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting company. Like the shared website hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server hosting plans sport diverse features depending on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual private web server hosting package offers guaranteed web storage, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief periods of time provided that there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is simpler to tackle as it comprises a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, examine stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by experienced customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Yet, certain web hosting providers offer managed dedicated hosting services where they perform dedicated hosting server management procedures on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional option.

Prior To Opting...

Settling on the top hosting package is crucial as it can affect the stable functioning of a web portal. Before opting for a package, weigh the pros and cons, explore carefully all the preconditions for the web portal to function properly, particularly if it is script-powered.
