Best Shared Web Hosting

There are various kinds of shared web hosting services appropriate for different web sites in regard to the system resources or the shared web hosting environment they need. To pick the most appropriate shared web hosting service for your web page, you must calculate what server-side software applications it demands, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may have to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Assets

The most appropriate alternative for small size web pages with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which reduces the overall cost per user drastically. There are diverse web hosting plans differing from one hosting company to another, offering different quotas of hard disk storage and bandwidth, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can buy a plan that will have the specs your site actually demands. You will not need to pay plenty of money for an account you will not utilize, or end up with a small account that cannot shelter the online portal. We, at GOM Networks, offer a big collection of shared web hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business pages that even offer pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you start with a low grade package and you require more functionalities, moving to a more powerful account takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Downsides

A negative side of the shared web hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install additional software. Given online portals, mainly online shops, demand software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can install only software programs that do not require root-level access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web sites that request root access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you need is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A private virtual web hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it functions in an exactly identical way.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both environments commonly come with root privileges and can be restarted through a software tool by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Similar to the shared hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web hosting packages sport diverse specifications based on what the web hosting supplier offers. A virtual web server hosting account offers guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for brief intervals of time if there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is utilizing, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A virtual server is simpler to run as it arrives with virtualization software, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, check statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by trained users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, some hosts provide managed dedicated web hosting services where they run dedicated web server management assignments instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra feature.
