Best Shared Hosting

There are different kinds of shared hosting plans appropriate for different web portals in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To pick the most appropriate shared hosting service for your website, you must judge what server-side software programs it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be answered.

Shared website hosting - Strong Points

The most proper option for small sites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of web space hosting, each user pays only for their account, which reduces the total price per customer drastically. There are diverse web hosting packages varying from one hosting supplier to another, furnishing different amounts of server storage and monthly bandwidth, different email quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can purchase an account that will provide the features your web portal indeed needs. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a package you will not use, or wind up with a small scale plan that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at My Best Host, offer a wide array of shared hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business portals that even offer pre-activated script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a low-end plan and you demand more functionalities, upgrading to a better package takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Downsides

A disadvantage of the shared hosting solution is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate new software. Specific web portals, mainly online stores, demand applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can activate solely software that does not need root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web sites that demand full server root access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS is a software imitation of a dedicated machine and it acts in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Private Servers

Both solutions traditionally give complete root-level access and can be restarted through a software program by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Just like the shared website hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server web hosting plans involve different specs based on what the web hosting supplier offers. A VPS web hosting package has guaranteed data space, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be expanded for brief stretches of time in case there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by altering or appending components. A virtual web server is simpler to manipulate as it includes a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, check stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be used by knowledgeable clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, certain web hosts provide managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they implement dedicated web server administration tasks instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional feature.

Prior To Choosing...

Choosing the top hosting package is essential as it can influence the proper performance of a website. Before settling on a package, weigh the pros and cons, study completely all the requirements for the online portal to run properly, particularly if it is script-powered.
