Top Shared Hosting

There are various varieties of shared hosting accounts appropriate for different web sites with regard to the resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To select the most proper shared hosting service for your web site, you need to evaluate what server-side software programs it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be satisfied.

Shared website hosting - Positive Sides

The best alternative for small web sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of webspace hosting, each user pays only for their account, which minimizes the total cost per individual drastically. There are different web hosting accounts varying from one hosting company to another, providing different quotas of data space and traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can buy an account that will offer the specifications your online portal really requires. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a package you will not use, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot accommodate the website. We, at Eastern Bytes, offer a big selection of shared hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business web sites that even provide pre-activated script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you start with a low priced account and you demand more functionalities, moving to a more powerful account demands only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Negative Points

A negative aspect of the shared web hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate new software. Given web sites, above all web storefronts, request software applications to be present on the web hosting server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can activate only software platforms that do not demand server root access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web portals that require full root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual web server is a software emulation of a dedicated web server and it works in exactly the same way.

VPSs

Both environments traditionally give complete root-level access and can be restarted via a software interface by the client, autonomously from the hosting provider. Much like the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server packages come with different functionalities based on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A private virtual server web hosting package contains guaranteed hard disk storage space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be increased for short intervals of time on condition that there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A virtual web server is easier to run as it comprises a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, explore statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be utilized by qualified customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, some hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated server hosting services where they run dedicated server administration procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional upgrade.
