Best Shared Web Hosting

There are various types of shared web hosting plans appropriate for different web sites in terms of the system resources or the shared web hosting environment they need. To choose the most proper shared web hosting service for your web site, you need to calculate what server-side software it requires, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may have to be met.

Shared web hosting - Strong Sides

The most suitable choice for small scale web pages with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this form of webspace hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which minimizes the total cost per client substantially. There are various web hosting accounts differing from one hosting company to another, furnishing different amounts of disk storage space and web traffic, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can order a plan that will provide the specifications your web site really needs. You will not need to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small scale plan that cannot accommodate the website. We, at HostFlex, offer a wide assortment of shared web hosting solutions suitable for private or small business pages that even include pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you kick off with a less powerful account and you require more system resources, upgrading to a more advanced account involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Minuses

A downside of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Specific online portals, chiefly online stores, demand software applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can install solely software programs that do not require full server root access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web portals that request full root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even millions of daily visitors, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A virtual private hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web server and it works in an exactly identical manner.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both environments typically offer root privileges and can be restarted through a software interface by the user, autonomously from the hosting provider. Analogous to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting server plans sport different functionalities depending on what the hosting supplier offers. A private virtual hosting server plan has guaranteed disk storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can occasionally be boosted for short intervals of time on condition that there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A Virtual Private Server is simpler to handle as it includes virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, examine statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by practiced clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, given hosting vendors offer managed dedicated web server hosting services where they carry out hosting server administration assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra feature.

Before You Opt...

Choosing the top hosting plan is crucial as it can influence the stable work of a site.
